I-HUMAN CASE STUDY: EVALUATING AND MANAGING INTEGUMENTARY CONDITIONS

I-HUMAN CASE STUDY: EVALUATING AND MANAGING INTEGUMENTARY CONDITIONS

This course will require you to complete a series of case studies using the i-Human software application. The i-Human Patients (IHP) Case Player enables you to interact with virtual patients for the purpose of learning patient-assessment and diagnostic-reasoning skills. With IHP, you will be able to independently interview, examine, diagnose, and treat virtual patients and receive expert feedback on your performance.

The integumentary system is susceptible to a variety of diseases, conditions, and injuries, ranging from the bothersome but relatively innocuous bacterial or fungal infections that are categorized as disorders to skin cancer and severe burns, which can be life-threatening.

For this Case Study Assignment, you will examine your first case study and work with a patient with an integumentary condition. You will formulate a differential diagnosis, evaluate treatment options, and then create an appropriate treatment plan for the patient.

WEEKLY RESOURCES

TO PREPARE:

Review this week’s Learning Resources. Consider how to assess, diagnose, and treat patients with integumentary conditions.

Access i-Human from this week’s Learning Resources and review this week’s i-Human case study. Based on the provided patient information, think about the health history you would need to collect from the patient.

Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be most appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s condition.

Reflect on how the results would be used to make a diagnosis.

Identify three to five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.

Consider the patient’s diagnosis. Think about clinical guidelines that might support this diagnosis.

Develop a treatment plan for the patient that includes health promotion and patient education strategies for patients with integumentary conditions.

Assignment

As you interact with this week’s i-Human patient, complete the assigned case study. For guidance on using i-Human, refer to the
