The final assignment is to write a case study. You will choose a disease from my list; however, you can use some creativity in developing your case if you so desire. For example, for deep vein thrombosis, you could make it something that arose after a long international flight.
I have included links to the National Institutes of Health on the webpage, for you to use as a starting point.
The format you are to use is as follows:
Case presentation:
a) Introductory sentence: A 25-year-old salesman presented with pain in his right leg.
b) Describe the nature of the complaint including location, intensity, and associated symptoms.
a. The pain was throughout the right lower leg. Upon observation, the calf was swollen and red. The pain worsened with walking.
c) Describe the history of the complaint including details of the time and circumstances of the onset. Also, the evolution of the complaint.
a. The patient returned the previous day from a business trip to China. He slept most of the flight and did not walk around the cabin. He was stiff upon exiting the plane but was able to walk and drive his car home. However, he awoke in the middle of the night with wrenching pain. He could not feel his toes.
d) Describe the relieving and aggravating factors.
e) Include other health history.
a. The patient has a history of HTN, is morbidly obese, borderline diabetic…
f) Include family history.
a. The patient’s mother had CHF
g) Summarize the results of physical examination.
a. His BP was 170/110 mmHg, …
h) List tests/diagnostics that are ordered (Do make it relevant to the condition;)
a. MRI of the leg was ordered, CBC, …
i) List a diagnosis
a. The patient was diagnoses with right leg DVT
j) Give some possible treatments (Assume the patient lives long enough for treatment.)
k) Give the general prognosis for this kind of condition
l) List citations (give between 3 and 8) in APA format
Make it at least 200 words long, but no more than 500 words (not including the citations). Use at least 40 medical terms and/or abbreviations.
On a separate list, give the medical word/term definition, and break it into the parts with their meanings.
This should be similar to the case studies that were in the blogs, except with a bit more information on the conditions to add interest and to make it fun! Let me know if you have questions.
Pick 50 medical terms (NOT 100 words) that you learned in class and create a case study in Word. The guidelines for this project are as follows: add more medical terms in this case and keep that word bold and underline those word.
