Requirements:

Preparing the Assignment *What and How

Step 1: Review the assigned topics which are listed by birth month. For example, if your birthday month is January then your diagnosis would be conjunctivitis.

Your Birth Month	Your Diagnosis
January, February	conjunctivitis
March, April, May	otitis
June, July, August,	rhinitis
September, October	sinusitis
November, December	pharyngitis

 

Step 2: For your assigned diagnosis, provide a brief 3-5 sentence pathophysiology summary, common patient signs and symptoms, the physical assessment findings, and pharmacologic recommendations for treatment. Include the multiple diagnoses found in your readings if applicable. (e.g.: viral, bacterial and allergic conjunctivitis). Provide 2 references in APA format beneath the table which support your work.

Your table should look like the following:

Diagnosis:
Pathophysiology Summary	Signs and Symptoms  (subjective)	Physical Assessment Findings  (objective)	Pharmacologic Recommendations
References:

 

*Hint: Copy table (highlight and right click Copy or Ctl+C). Paste into a document and fill table out. Then proceed to Step 3.
