Discussion: Differential diagnoses for a patient.Discussion: Differential diagnoses for a
patient.List three questions you might ask the patient if he or she were in your office.
Provide a rationale for why you might ask these questions. Identify people in the patient’s
life you would need to speak to or get feedback from to further assess the patient’s
situation. Include specific questions you might ask these people and why. Explain what
physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate for the patient and how the
results would be used. List three differential diagnoses for the patient. Identify the one that
you think is most likely and explain why. List two pharmacologic agents and their dosing
that would be appropriate for the patient’s sleep/wake therapy based on pharmacokinetics
and pharmacodynamics. From a mechanism of action perspective, provide a rationale for
why you might choose one agent over the other. If your assigned case includes “check
points” (i.e., follow-up data at week 4, 8, 12, etc.), indicate any therapeutic changes that you
might make based on the data provided. Explain “lessons learned” from this case study,
including how you might apply this case to your own practice when providing care to
patients with similar clinical presentations.ORDER NOW FOR ORIGINAL, PLAGIARISM-FREE
PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-
checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and
you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words
and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then
aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to
have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are
preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per
inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing
are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages
than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large
indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning
(space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of
a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must
be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of
each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark
ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
