Neurological Function 

 

Part 1:

Compare and contrast the 3 conditions in

one
of the charts below: 

PAIN SYNDROME
	Migraine Headaches	Tension Headaches	Meningitis
Risk Factors
Pathophysiology
Clinical Manifestations

 

OR

NEUROLOGIC SYNDROME
	Dementia	Depression	Anxiety
Risk Factors
Pathophysiology
Clinical Manifestations

Part 2:

Choose a
pain or
neurologic syndrome to explore. You can also choose a diagnosis not listed (that coincides with your advanced practice specialty) as long as it relates to the neurological function.

Present a hypothetical case that includes the following:

1. Vital information about a person who might be predisposed to this condition (I.e., a person who may have risk factors for this condition). 

2. The pathophysiology of the disease, including clinical manifestations.

3. Which diagnostic tests you’d recommend and a rationale for the one(s) you choose.

4. How this condition compares to other differentials.

5. The evidence-based recommendations from the

AHRQ Guidelines
or guidelines recommended from a professional organization. Based on these recommendations, discuss how  to manage the condition best.

6. A patient safety issue that could be associated with the condition presented in this case.

These charts may help in organizing information to answer the narrative questions: 

Name of Condition:
Risk factors
Pathophysiology
Clinical manifestations
Additional details (optional):
Differential Diagnoses (See chart below)
What makes this diagnosis unique from other differentials?
Guidelines and recommendations for condition management
Potential related safety issues
