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:
