2. Casestudy Summary
2
This pt is well developed and healthy 32 years old female which on assessment noted
having erythematous pharynx with +2 bilateral uvula which is concomitant with her chief
complaint. I will address her cough with Robitussin with codeine 1-2 teaspoonful every four
hours as needed, 120cc bottle x1, no refill. I will address her sore throat by educating her to use
warm beverages or soups and tea with lemon. I will also inform pt about good hand washing,
Motrin or Tylenol use for fever, to push fluid, to use OTC Sudafed as needed for runny nose.
F/u: Return in one week if symptoms persist or get worse. Call 911 or go to ER in case you
experience any shortness of breath, severe chest pain or difficult of breath any time.
Brevity (do not ramble, but do not be to brief), Organization, Eye Contact and
Anticipation of questions are components of effective oral case presentation. In this homework
case I have used “organization” and “Brevity” to summary this case. As, this is not a live
presentation “Eye contact” does not apply (Stewart & Denisco, 2015, P. 154).
From the NONPF core competencies I have demonstrated “Scientific Foundation
Competencies, Quality competencies, Technology and Information Literacy Competencies,
Ethics Competencies, Independent Practice Competencies” in summarizing this case( Stewart &
Denisco, 2015, PP. 8-10).
