Johnson's mission statement and offer suggestions for
strengthening the parts that it is lacking. will, in general, offer
insight into the organization's worth, caliber, and business plan
4. to present the mission statement with clarity and
succinctness.Mission Statement1We consider that our primary
duty is to the people who use our goods and services, including
patients, physicians, nurses, parents, and everyone else.
Everything we do in order to meet their demands must be of the
highest caliber. We must continuously work to deliver value,
cut expenses, and keep prices fair. Orders from customers must
be processed accurately and quickly. Our business partners must
be given the chance to profit fairly.
Our worldwide team members who work for us are subject to
our obligations. We need to create a workplace where everyone
is treated with respect and taken as an individual. Their
uniqueness, decency, and merit must all be respected. They
must feel secure, content, and working there serves a purpose.
Workplaces must be tidy, organized, and safe, and pay must be
fair and sufficient. We must promote our employees' health and
wellbeing and assist them in carrying out their familial and
other personal obligations. Employee concerns and
recommendations must be welcome. For those who qualify,
there must be equal opportunities for employment, development,
and advancement. We must produce highly competent leaders,
and they must behave justly and morally.
We have obligations both to the local communities where we
live and work and to the global community. By promoting better
access and care in more locations around the world, we must aid
in people's health. Being decent citizens means paying our fair
amount of taxes, supporting charitable causes, improving health
and education, and supporting good works. The property we
have the luxury of using must be kept in good condition so as to
safeguard the environment and natural resources.
Our ultimate duty is to our stockholders. Businesses need to
earn a healthy profit. We must test out fresh concepts. Research
must be continued, creative initiatives must be created, future
investments must be made, and mistakes must be compensated
for. It is necessary to buy new machinery, build new facilities,
and release new items. In order to prepare for bad times,
5. reserves must be built up. The stockholders should receive a fair
return when we do business in accordance with these
principles.10 Components of a Mission StatementComponents

aknesses of Likert Scale Rating1. Customers were given a rating
of three since they might be generally classified as patients,
physicians, nurses, parents, and caregivers.2. Because they were
not listed, products received a rating of 1.3. Markets received a
2 since there was only a passing mention of their employing
people globally and no information about how many markets,
countries, or industries there were.4. Due to the lack of depth in
the technologies used, technology received a 2 rating.5.Because
it was mentioned that the company needed to make money and
how it would do so, survival was given a rating of 3.6. The
mission statement as a whole describes the company's general
philosophy and principles, hence philosophy is given a rating of
4.7. Since it wasn't addressed in the mission statement, self-
concept received a score of 1.8. Public image was rated a 2 the
company's duty to its communities was mentioned.9. Consumers
were rated a 3 because customers were mentioned as well as the
company's worldwide market.10. Quality scored a 4 because
high-quality products were mentioned as well as providing
reasonable pricing.Proposed Mission Statement ChangesAs the
world’s largest and most broadly-based healthcare company, we
believe our first responsibility is to the patients, doctors and
nurses, to mothers and fathers and all others across 175+
countries who use our medical devices, consumer health, and/or
pharmaceutical products and services. In meeting their needs
everything we do must be of high quality by using innovative
technology and research strategies. We must constantly strive to
provide value, reduce our costs and maintain reasonable prices.
Customers' orders must be serviced promptly and accurately.
6. Our business partners must have an opportunity to make a fair
profit.
We are responsible to our employees who work with us
throughout 60+ countries. We must provide an inclusive work
environment where each person must be considered as an
individual. We must respect their diversity and dignity and
recognize their merit. They must have a sense of security,
fulfillment and purpose in their jobs. Compensation must be fair
and adequate and working conditions clean, orderly and safe.
We must support the health and well-being of our employees
and help them fulfill their family and other personal
responsibilities. Employees must feel free to make suggestions
and complaints. There must be equal opportunity for
employment, development and advancement for those qualified.
We must provide highly capable leaders and their actions must
be just and ethical.
We are responsible to the communities in which we live and
work and to the world community as well. We must help people
be healthier by supporting better access and care in more places
around the world. We must be good citizens — support good
works and charities, better health and education, and bear our
fair share of taxes. We must maintain in good order the property
we are privileged to use, protecting the environment and natural
resources.
Our final responsibility is to our stockholders. Business must
make a sound profit. We must experiment with new ideas.
Research must be carried on, innovative programs developed,
investments made for the future and mistakes paid for. New
equipment must be purchased, new facilities provided and new
products launched. Reserves must be created to provide for
adverse times. We must utilize our scale, size, and intellectual
property to maintain a competitive advantage. When we operate
according to these principles, the stockholders should realize a
7. fair return.

tion of Economic FactorsSince the COVID-19 pandemic, the
healthcare sector's economic growth rate has dramatically
increased and is predicted to keep rising. The healthcare sector
is steady since it is anticipated to expand as population
increases and customer interest in their health and wellbeing
increases. Due to currency fluctuations and the strength and
weakness of the US dollar, the foreign exchange rate has an
impact on the company's revenues and costs. Despite efforts to
mitigate these alterations, the oscillations could still be a
challenge. Maintaining activities' profitability is difficult when
there is inflation. The effect is uncertain as long as inflation
rates continue to rise. The ability of the corporation to maintain
profit margins is also threatened by the economy's volatility.

parts of the business may be significantly impacted by
government regulations as a result of healthcare reforms and
mounting price pressure. The client function is given high
marks because the company's services and goods will always be
in demand as a healthcare provider. Because of the potential
susceptibility to extra tax liabilities, changes in tax policy may
have a negative impact on profitability. The corporation cannot
be convinced that it will be able to secure sufficient patent
protection for new products and innovations given that public
policy, both in the U.S. and internationally, is becoming
increasingly negative toward intellectual property rights.

FactorsThe COVID-19 pandemic has badly affected some parts
of the company's business operations, including production and
the supply chain. It has also forced changes to other aspects of
the company's business operations. There is a chance that
businesses will continue to suffer because to COVID-19's
continuous proliferation. A diversified workforce, along with
the capacity to hire and keep talented, highly skilled workers,
are essential components of success in the healthcare industry.
Despite the fierce competition in the market for skilled
individuals, the organization has been named one of the best
places to work in 20223. This offers the chance to draw in
creative workers at the top of their fields. As customers become

though. Already committed to enhancing sustainability, any
additional environmental regulation could negatively affect
Johnson & Johnson's capacity to accomplish this objective in a

cybersecurity and data privacy continue to develop. Security
and privacy are essential in the healthcare sector. If rules
continue to tighten and grow harder to follow, this could be a

Strengths SummaryJohnson & Johnson is one of the largest
healthcare companies worth billions of dollars with a global
13. consumer base in 150+ countries. The company is easily
recognized by consumers and trusted in the industry. With 2021
revenue of over $90 billion, and a 22.26% profit margin, J&J
has had continued growth and steady market performance as
well as high scores for product quality and customer
satisfaction. They are dedicated to innovation and R&D.
Johnson & Johnson seeks highly sought employees and is
consistently pursuing strategic partnerships, mergers, and
acquisitions to grow the organization. Johnson & Johnson
Weaknesses SummaryDue to kickback (bribery) allegations and
other legal battles over the last few years, further government
restrictions and product regulations pose a threat to the
organizations' ability to do business, and public perception has
been negatively affected. Additionally, allegations of poor
employment practices can impact adversely impact the
organization as well. With competition increasing and pricing
pressures mounting, the organization is challenged to find ways
to decrease costs while still maintaining competitive product
pricing and quality. With the U.S. and global economies in
unpredictable states, business and supply chain interruptions
may occur, including cybersecurity issues. Though J&J has high
revenue and profit margins, the majority of its revenue comes
from the pharmaceutical sector, with consumer health sales
down. The company has announced plans to separate its
consumer health sector into a separate company.

Tool 6CohesionPurpose: To evaluate Johnson & Johnson's
future oriented goals, SMART objectives, and policies in order
to determine if they align with their mission statement. Mission
14. Statement1We believe our first responsibility is to the patients,
doctors and nurses, to mothers and fathers and all others who
use our products and services. In meeting their needs everything
we do must be of high quality. We must constantly strive to
provide value, reduce our costs and maintain reasonable prices.
Customers' orders must be serviced promptly and accurately.
Our business partners must have an opportunity to make a fair
profit.
We are responsible to our employees who work with us
throughout the world. We must provide an inclusive work
environment where each person must be considered as an
individual. We must respect their diversity and dignity and
recognize their merit. They must have a sense of security,
fulfillment and purpose in their jobs. Compensation must be fair
and adequate and working conditions clean, orderly and safe.
We must support the health and well-being of our employees
and help them fulfill their family and other personal
responsibilities. Employees must feel free to make suggestions
and complaints. There must be equal opportunity for
employment, development and advancement for those qualified.
We must provide highly capable leaders and their actions must
be just and ethical.
We are responsible to the communities in which we live and
work and to the world community as well. We must help people
be healthier by supporting better access and care in more places
around the world. We must be good citizens — support good
works and charities, better health and education, and bear our
fair share of taxes. We must maintain in good order the property
we are privileged to use, protecting the environment and natural
resources.
Our final responsibility is to our stockholders. Business must
make a sound profit. We must experiment with new ideas.
Research must be carried on, innovative programs developed,
15. investments made for the future and mistakes paid for. New
equipment must be purchased, new facilities provided and new
products launched. Reserves must be created to provide for
adverse times. When we operate according to these principles,
the stockholders should realize a fair return.Future Oriented
Goals21)A world where the current and future healthcare
workforce has the necessary competencies to deliver high-
quality healthcare.2)A world where all people have healthy
places to live, work and play.3)A world where every woman and
child survives and has the opportunity for a healthy future.4)A
world where safe, essential and timely surgical care can be
accessed by all to save lives, prevent disability, promote
economic growth, and reduce social marginalization.5)A world
where innovations and holistic health solutions prevent, control,
and eliminate global disease challenges and epidemics.Analysis
of Future Oriented GoalsJohnson & Johnson's future goals are
mostly aligned with the mission statement. The first goal
regarding the training and competency of the healthcare
workforce was briefly mentioned in the mission statement as the
development and advancement of employees. The eco-
friendliness goal aligns with the mission statement as protecting
the environment and natural resources were mentioned.
Controlling global disease and women's health were not
included in the mission statement but innovative solutions were.
The goal for safe surgical care aligns with the mission statement
due to the mention of customers deserving prompt and accurate
care.SMART Objectives21)By 2030, 650,000 health workers
will have received training to better deliver quality
healthcare.2)By 2030, 60 million citizens living across 30 cities
will have benefited from climate and air quality acti ons that
have the potential to positively impact public health.3)60
million women and children will have received support and
tools to enable a healthy future by 2030.4)By 2030, 50 million
people will have had access to safe, essential, and timely
surgical care.5)175 million individuals will have benefited from
Johnson & Johnson solutions that prevent, control, and
16. eliminate global diseases by 2030.Analysis of SMART
ObjectivesJohnson & Johnson's SMART goals are partially
aligned with its mission statement. The first objective regarding
workforce education and quality is aligned with the commitment
in the mission statement to the development and advancement of
those qualified. The third objective is not mentioned in the
mission statement. however, the fourth and fifth objectives are
mentioned in the mission statement as needs to provide
accessible healthcare and to continue innovations.Policies3,
41)There must be equal opportunity for employment,
development, and advancement for those qualified. We must
provide highly capable leaders and their actions must be just
and ethical.2)Employees are required to adhere to Company-
wide programs, and to be familiar with and comply with
environmental laws and regulations that relate to our specific
work responsibilities. This includes complying with regulations
related to the reporting, approval, and registration of chemical
ingredients used in our production and products.3)We strive to
provide an equal opportunity for women and their children to
access quality care, information, and education to ensure the
continued health, happiness, and prosperity throughout the
course of their lives.4)We must help people be healthier by
supporting better access and care in more places around the
world.5) At Johnson & Johnson, we believe strengthening health
systems is essential to achieve a much-needed transformation in
healthcare, particularly in resource-limited settings. We believe
a holistic, strategic, inclusive approach is necessary, involving
all those with the power to influence healthcare access,
delivery, and outcomes from the public and private sectors and
civil society.Analysis of PoliciesThe policies related to the
development and advancement of employees, environmental
preservation, innovative healthcare solutions, and access to
healthcare are all addressed in the mission statement. Women's
health is included on their policies and positions page but is not
addressed in the mission statement. Sustainability is also
included in their Code of Conduct, which provides general
17. guidelines for internal rules and regulations as well as how J&J
conducts business. Johnson & Johnson's policies and Code of
Conduct address diversity, human rights, and
innovation.Sources:1https://www.jnj.com/credo/2https://www.jn

Johnson uses differentation as their primary strength. Low cost
leadership is their second strength.SummaryJohnson & Johnson
uses the generic strategy focusing on differentiation by
18. providing a wide variety of products, medications, medical
devices, and services. By being a leading global healthcare &
pharmaceutical organization, Johnson & Johnson displays
differentiation. Due to the increase in competition and pricing
pressure within the industry, it is difficult for J&J to focus on
low-cost leadership as a strategy. The company must balance
between being cost-effective, well priced for consumers, and
still providing quality products and services while making a
profit. Johnson & Johnson continues to be innovative and
remains focused on providing quality to its
customers.Sources:1https://www.investor.jnj.com/

a global company and to map the countries in which J&J

revenue the company produces. It will also describe where
Johnson & Johnson should expand their next global
operation.Johnson & Johnson's Operations Map1 Johnson &
Johnson is an international organization that operates in 91
countries and has products sold in over 175 countries. J&J is
headquartered in New Brunswick, New Jersey, U.S.A., but has
19. 66 offices spread across 53 countries including Australia,
Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Japan, Poland, and more. The
red areas in the graphic above represent the countries in which
Johnson & Johnson operates.51% of Johnson & Johnson's 2021
revenue came from international and non-U.S. sales. Therefore,

expand operations into Bogota, Columbia to increase the
company's presence in Latin America.3, 4Johnso n & Johnson
should expand operations into Bogota, Columbia because of the
opportunities for growth and expansion in Latin America. The
pharmaceutical market in Columbia was worth $4.795 billion in
2019 and has a projected value of $2.944 billion. Bogota,
Columbia is one of the main pharmaceutical companies in Latin
America being home to 66% of the medicine manufacturers and
65% of the pharmaceutical wholesalers.
Columbia ranks third for highest public spending on
healthcare in the region and is predicted to continue to grow. In
this market, J&J can expand its reach in Latin America and
grow its worldwide brand. This also presents a unique
opportunity to begin developing generic brands of their popular
medications and expand the J&J customer base while becoming
more competitive in all markets. Johnson & Johnson should
enter the Colombian market through a partnership with leading
pharmaceutical company Tecnoquimicas. Entering into a joint
venture or possibly acquiring Tecnoquimicas would provide a
strategic entrance into the Columbian market, and remove a
major competitor as well.
J&J used a similar strategy when entering the German market
in 1961 with the acquisition of Jassen Pharmaceutica which
eventually led to Johnson & Johnson ranking among the 20
largest research-based pharmaceutical companies in the world.
Based on past success, this strategy could yield similar results

Tool 11SWOT AnalysisPurpose: To show the linkages and
connections between various SWOT elements for Johnson &
Johnson. This enables the company to craft exploitive, alliance,
defensive, and covert strategies to improve the company.
StrengthsWeaknessesS1Johnson & Johnson offers a large,
diverse product line and services including medical devices,
pharmaceuticals, and consumer health productsW1J&J has had
several lawsuits against the negative effects of several of its
products. This causes a loss of trust and taints the company's
reputation.S2Due to having one of the highest revenue streams
in the market, J&J is an industry leader.W2Uneven revenue
distribution as the majority of J&J's revenue depends on a few
key products.S3Invested around $14.7 billion USD for research
26. and development costs to remain competitive.W3 Accusations
of unethical practices in using misleading marketing campaigns
threaten the trust and brand reliability J&J has built over the
years.S4With a presence in over 90 countries, Johnson &
Johnson has a strong global reach.W4Kickback allegations stain
the company's reputation and can result in costly fines and legal
consequences.S5Has consistent, stable market
performance.W5Gender discrimination allegations could
adversely affect the company's ability to recruit top talent as
well as tarnish its public image. S6With over 130 of
existence, J&J is highly experienced and knows what it takes to
fulfill the needs of the market.W6A decline in consumer health
sales results in lower revenue and contributes to the uneven
distribution of revenue.S7Johnson & Johnson has several robust
initiatives to give back to global communities, resulting in
strong community engagement.W7Low current and quick ratios
suggest that J&J is not as efficient with financial
planning.S8Very adept at completing strategic acquisitions and
mergers to enter new markets.W8Lack of diverse
products.S9Being the leading healthcare company on a global
scale, J&J is highly influential and has great brand
recognition.W9 Product quality has been called into question
due to lawsuits and can affect public opinion and profit.
S10Has skilled employees and a strong, global
workforce.W10Public opinion is negatively impacted by
lawsuits and allegations.OpportunitiesThreatsO1J&J's robotic
surgery system provides the opportunity to make innovative
changes in surgery as well as an advantage over the
competition.T1Government regulations place restrictions on
profit, and operations, and can be challenging to remain in
compliance globally. O2The capacity to innovate and the
strong investment in R&D make Johnson & Johnson a leader in
the market.T2With heavy investments in R&D, relaxed laws
around intellectual property put some of J&J's most valuable
assets at risk.O3The growth of bio-implants is an opportunity to
invest in R&D in this area, and get ahead of the
27. competition.T3Inflation could make it difficult to provide
competitive pricing and impact profits.O4J&J is popular for its
ability to make strategic mergers and acquisitions. Continuing
to use this method is an opportunity to enter new markets and
increase market share.T4Rising pay demands threaten
profitability and resources to acquire top talent.O5Since the
COVID-19 pandemic, the telehealth industry has had
tremendous growth and is predicted to continue to grow. If
adequately invested in, this could lead to increased profits and
an expanded customer base. T5New environment regulations
can make it more difficult for J&J to carry out green initiatives,
and can affect profitability.O6J&J has developed one-dose
COVID-19 immunizations that earn twice the profit as the two-
dose drugs of their competitors.T6The threat of a recession can
make it difficult to keep the company financially profitable.
O7Consumers are becoming increasingly invested in their health
providing an opportunity for the health industry to
grow.T7Cyber security poses a threat as it becomes increasingly
challenging and important to keep patient information
secure.O8Further market development will lead to the dilution
of competitors' advantages and can enable J&J to increase its
competitiveness.T8An increase in the production of generic
versions of medication could affect the company's
profitability.O9Stable profit and free cash flow present the
opportunity for J&J to invest and expand products and the
company.T9The pharmaceutical market is becoming
increasingly competitive, and it's difficult to maintain profit
margins while still offering the best prices on the
market.O10J&J has announced plans to separate into two
companies providing the opportunity to expand and
grow.T10Lawsuits threaten the company's reputation as well as

health, pharmaceutical, and medical devices, will be eradicated
with the company's split into two companies.Match with W2 and

StrategiesD1Increased pay requirements could make it
increasingly difficult to hire top talent, but J&J has had strong
revenue which could be utilized to prevent an impact on
profitability.The company should ensure that all employees are
compensated according to the standard of their living country,
as well as consider increasing investments in
benefits.D2Utilizing the company's influence and reach, J&J
could lobby and campaign for more relaxed government
regulations and industry restrictions.In 2021, Johnson &
Johnson spent $6.08 million on federal lobbying expenses. This
investment should remain around the same as well as seek
partnerships with other companies in the market. D3Can

33. OSCEs.
You are seeing a 14-year-old boy and his mother in an urgent
care setting. The boy’s chief
complaint is difficulty breathing. As you watch this encounter,
you will be asked to answer
questions while the image on the screen freezes. These
questions will engage you in practicing
the skills of focused history taking, physical examination, and
clinical reasoning as you develop
your preliminary differential diagnosis, based on the guidelines
designated in the USMLE Step 2
Clinical Skills Examination.
Note also that you will be performing the history and the
physical examination with the mother
in the room. Some of your history will be obtained from the
patient himself, with additional
information obtained from his mother.
You are expected to develop three diagnoses with supporting
history and physical exam
findings and list the diagnostic workup studies you would order.
You will have time to record your findings and receive
feedback.
35. Devan, can you or your mom tell me more about this? Please
start when you first got sick.
I think my mom better tell you.
[patient coughs]. I can’t remember.
He started about 4 days ago. I didn’t think anything of it….you
know, it was just a runny nose
and a mild cough. But last night, he was coughing non-stop.
Does it feel like anything is coming up when you cough? Like
from your chest up into your
throat?
Nope. I don’t cough anything up.
Tell me about your breathing.
It feels like I can’t catch my breath. Kind of like when I run too
much.
Sometimes he makes a sound when he breathes. He isn’t doing
it now, but I heard it last night.
It was loud.
Could you tell whether it was loud when he was breathing in or
when he was breathing out?
I didn’t notice. Maybe both but I’m not sure. I thought he was
wheezing, but I don’t really know
what wheezing sounds like.
37. but I don’t think that that helped either. I just tried to calm him
down. It got better after a
coughing spell. I don’t know if something just loosened up, or
what.
Has he had a fever?
Maybe at first, a few days ago. But not in the past day.
Has this type of coughing ever happened before?
Not like this. He coughs a lot at night though. I don’t know if
there’s something in his room
making him cough.
Okay. Let me go back a bit and ask questions about whether this
type of thing has happened
before. You just said Devan coughs a lot at night. Can you tell
me about how often he coughs or
has breathing problems at night? For example, during a typical
2-week period, how many nights
does he cough or have breathing problems that keep him from
sleeping or that wake him up?
Oh, I don’t think a week goes by without him coughing in his
sleep to the point where he wakes
up. His coughing keeps me up! I think this happens about 2 or 3
nights in a 2-week period.
38. That is helpful. What about overall? In a typical week, how
much would you say Devan’s cough
or breathing problems restrict his usual activities? Would you
say: Not at all during a typical
week? Slightly? Moderately, or a lot?
I would say slightly during a typical week. It is usually the
cough. But most of the time it isn’t
bad, like it was last night.
Okay, so in a typical week, how often during the day does
Devan cough or have breathing
problems?
It is mostly at night, but I would say 2 times a week, on
average.
Thanks. I know these questions are hard to answer. Other than
his cold, is there anything else
that might have triggered or caused Devan’s breathing
problems? For example, is there
anything new in your house? For example, a new pet or
something new that you’re doing?
No, there’s nothing new. We don’t have any pets. I was
wondering about the rug in his
bedroom, since it is old. But nothing has changed in our home
or in his bedroom.
40. And they really itch!
Does he have allergies?
I think so. During the late summer and fall, he sneezes a lot. I
sometimes give him
antihistamines—and they tend to help.
Okay. I asked you about nighttime cough. What about snoring?
Does he tend to snore?
Yes he does! Not every night, but sometimes.
What kind of exercise do you get, Devan? Do you play any
sports or exercise regularly?
I play soccer. And I bike around a lot.
Does your coughing or breathing limit what you can do?
Yeah, sometimes I cough when I play soccer and I get that chest
feeling.
Mrs. Williams, do any diseases run in children, either in your
family or in your husband’s family?
Anything like allergies, skin conditions, asthma, or other
childhood diseases?
Well, everyone has dry skin in my family. It’s a family thing.
My nephew had asthma, but he is
older and he grew out of it. They don’t live nearby, so I didn’t
really see it. That’s about all.
42. night. Does that sound right?
Yes!
Is there anything we’ve missed? Anything else important that I
should know about?
No, that’s about it.
Let me do a complete physical examination, and then we can
talk over what might be going on,
and our next steps. Okay?
Physical Examination
With the patient’s health history in mind, and after good hand
hygiene, you are ready for the
physical examination.
What areas of physical examination are important for this
patient?
Press pause and list your answers. Resume when you are ready
to receive feedback.
Vital signs
Skin
Pharynx (tonsils)
Lungs
44. and say “Ahhh.” Very good.
Next I’m going to do a careful examination of your lungs.
Okay.
Lung examination consists of the following steps:
Inspection.
Chest expansion.
Tactile fremitus.
Percussion.
Auscultation.
Begin with inspection.
First, I am going to watch you breathe. Just breathe normally.
Mrs. Williams, I do see some retractions here when he breathes,
just a little bit. Is this normal
for him?
No, it’s not.
The next step in the lung examination is chest expansion.
Now, Devan, take a deep breath [Devan coughs]….
Try instead to take a breath that’s not quite so deep. That’s
good. I know that breathing deeply
46. your back as you breathe. I’ll
listen to your sides and chest. Please keep your mouth open as
you breathe.
I hear some wheezing noises on both sides of your chest when
you breathe out. I also hear a
few rhonchi, or wet noises, when you breathe in---but just a
few. I don’t hear something called
rales, or crackles.
Devan, now please just breathe normally and sit quietly while I
listen to your heart.
I’ll examine your abdomen. I want first to listen to it, and then I
will gently feel it.
Diagnostic Considerations
What are your three diagnostic considerations, in order of
priority?
Press pause and list your answers. Resume when you are ready
to receive feedback.
This 14-year-old boy most likely has underlying childhood
asthma.
A recent viral upper respiratory infection has triggered an
exacerbation or flare-up.
His constellation of symptoms includes cough; shortness of
breath; and intermittent breathing
48. abnormalities or tactile fremitus or
on n percussion. However, he exhibits both bilateral expiratory
wheezes and slightly increased
work of breathing using accessory muscles.
This patient exhibits several other abnormalities on physical
examination suggestive of typical
comorbid conditions that often accompany childhood asthma.
These include the following:
Elevated body mass index at the 97th percentile, which signifies
obesity.
Upper respiratory signs of congestion consistent with viral
infection, a common trigger of
asthma exacerbations in children.
Large tonsils, which reflect tonsillar hyperplasia that can
accompany obesity.
Devan’s large tonsils are likely a hint for adenoidal hyperplasia,
which may be causing his
snoring. Patches of eczema, which tend to occur in children
with allergies and may predispose
them to asthma via allergy-mediated pathways.
The diagnosis of asthma rests primarily on the history and
physical examination rather than on
laboratory tests. The diagnosis can be further supported by
50. High fever.
Cough.
Tachypnea.
Physical examination often reveals tachycardia, work of
breathing, and unilateral lung
abnormalities such as abnormal fremitus, dullness, and rales.
Other than a cough, Devan did
not have any of these signs or symptoms.
It is critical to rule out the diagnosis of bacterial pneumonia
because of the potential for
progression and the need for rapid administration of antibiotics.
Atypical pneumonia, generally from Mycoplasma pneumoniae
or a Bordetella pertussis, is more
indolent, with less severe symptoms and signs. Lung findings
are bilateral and generally involve
inspiratory rhonchi or crackles, without expiratory wheezing.
Atypical pneumonia is often missed, and many patients do not
seek medical attention.
Lack of tachypnea excludes a diagnosis of bacterial pneumonia.
On physical examination, lack of
tachypnea and presence of prolonged inspiration/expiration
ratio are very helpful to point
51. toward the diagnosis of asthma.
Viral pneumonia tends to be less severe than bacterial
pneumonia. Patients present with upper
respiratory symptoms with accompanying cough. Physical
examination may reveal increased
work of breathing, tachypnea, and bilateral lung findings.
The common cold, or viral upper respiratory infection, is the
most common physical illness in
childhood. Viral upper respiratory infections tend to have a
constellation of symptoms. These
include:
Nasal congestion and runny nose.
Cough.
Fever.
Sore throat.
And sometimes headache.
Typically, fever and sore throat occur during the first several
days of an upper respiratory
infection. Nasal congestion lasts several more days, and cough
may persist for many additional
days.
53. saturation. In most cases of mild
asthma exacerbations, as in this patient, oxygen saturation is
normal
Chest radiograph.
Seasoned clinicians usually will not obtain a chest radiograph in
a patient with mild asthma
exacerbations. High fever, tachypnea, and crackles might
indicate the need for a chest
radiograph to identify consolidation that would be suggestive of
a bacterial pneumonia.
In this case, the relatively mild symptoms, absence of fever and
tachypnea, presence of
bilateral wheezing, and absence of rales all make bacterial
pneumonia highly unlikely.
Although chest radiographs in childhood asthma often reveal
minor abnormalities such as
streaking or increased air trapping, these findings do not
generally assist in management.
Peak flow meter.
Peak expiratory flow rate can be obtained in the office using
hand-held peak flow meters.
Multiple readings usually are necessary to identify a patient’s
baseline measurement and assess
55. examination are consistent with chronic mild persistent asthma
and an acute asthma
exacerbation. Physical examination is also remarkable for
obesity and eczematous patches.
These comorbid conditions commonly accompany childhood
asthma.
Diagnoses include asthma, bacterial pneumonia and viral upper
respiratory infection.
Possible diagnostic studies include:
Pulse oximetry.
Chest radiograph.
Peak flow meter or spirometry testing, once the acute
exacerbation has resolved.
However, this condition is best managed by a careful history
and physical examination, with at
most pulse oximetry for laboratory testing.
