Healthcare Discussion: Focused Throat Exam Case Study Analysis ON Healthcare
Discussion: Focused Throat Exam Case Study AnalysisNurses conducting assessments of the
ears, nose, and throat must be able to identify the small differences between life-
threatening conditions and benign ones. For instance, if a patient with a sore throat and a
runny nose also has inflamed lymph nodes, the inflammation is probably due to the
pathogen causing the sore throat rather than a case of throat cancer. With this knowledge
and a sufficient patient health history, a nurse would not need to escalate the assessment to
a biopsy or an MRI of the lymph nodes but would probably perform a simple strep test.In
this Case Study Assignment, you consider case studies of abnormal findings from patients in
a clinical setting. You determine what history should be collected from the patients, what
physical exams and diagnostic tests should be conducted, and formulate a differential
diagnosis with several possible conditions.Consider what history would be necessary to
collect from the patient.Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be
appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s condition. How would the
results be used to make a diagnosis?Identify at least five possible conditions that may be
considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.Use the Episodic/Focused SOAP
Template and create an episodic/focused note about the patient in the case study to which
you were assigned using the episodic/focused note template provided in the Week 5
resources. Provide evidence from the literature to diagnostic tests that would be
appropriate for each case. List five different possible conditions for the patient’s differential
diagnosis and justify why you selected eachCASE STUDY 2: Focused Throat ExamLily is a
20-year-old student at the local community college. When some of her friends and
classmates told her about an outbreak of flu-like symptoms sweeping her campus during
the past 2 weeks, Lily figured she shouldn’t take her 3-day sore throat lightly. Your clinic
has treated a few cases similar to Lily’s. All the patients reported decreased appetite,
headaches, and pain with swallowing. As Lily recounts these symptoms to you, you notice
that she has a runny nose and a slight hoarseness in her voice but doesn’t sound congested.
