A: Assessment
Medical Diagnoses. Provide 3 differential diagnoses which may provide an etiology for the CC. The first diagnosis (presumptive diagnosis) is the diagnosis with the highest priority. Provide the ICD-10 code and pertinent findings to support each diagnosis.

Diagnosis |
ICD-10 Code |
Pertinent Findings |
| Angina Pectoris, unspecified | I20.9 | Intermittent chest pain |
| Abnormal heart sounds | R01.2 | S3, ventricular gallop noted on auscultation |
| Carotid Artery Syndrome, hemispheric | G45.1 | Right carotid artery bruit noted on auscultation |
P: Plan
Address all 5 parts of the comprehensive treatment plan. If you do not wish to order an intervention for any part of the treatment plan, write “None at this time” but do not leave any heading blank. No intervention is self-evident. Provide a rationale and evidence-based in-text citation for each intervention.
