Application of Course Knowledge
Reflect on your Exam experience to identify the knowledge area in which you struggled the most.(GI system)
Create an original case study based on a common chief complaint seen in clients in primary care settings in the GI system. Select a chief complaint not already covered in this term’s i-Human case studies.
Case study requirements:
Include the chief complaint, demographics, previous medical history (PMHx), previous surgical history (PSHx), allergies, lifestyle, history of present illness (HPI).
Analyze associated risk factors/demographics that contribute to the chief complaint and differential diagnoses
List three common differential diagnoses for the chief complaint, including pathophysiology and rationale, from the topic area identified on the CEA exam.(GI system)
Discuss how the three differential diagnoses differ from each other in occurrence, pathophysiology, and presentation. Your discussion should compare and contrast these diagnoses rather than listing them.
Describe relevant testing required to diagnose/evaluate the severity of the three differential diagnoses.
Present applicable national guidelines related to diagnosis and diagnostic testing for the differential diagnoses.
