**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 GuidelinesLinks to an external site.](https://www.ahrq.gov/gam/index.html) 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.

**Part 3:**

Answer these reflection questions:

1. What information would a master’s prepared nurse gather from a patient with this condition?

2. How could the master’s prepared nurse use this information to design a patient education session for someone with this condition?

3. What was the most confusing or challenging information presented in this case?

**Expectations:**

· Your paper should be 3–4 pages (excluding cover and reference pages).

· Use medical terminology and appropriate graduate level writing.

· Your resources must include research articles and reference to non-research evidence-based

·
[AHRQ Guidelines.Links to an external site.](https://www.ahrq.gov/gam/index.html)

· Use APA format to style your paper and to cite your sources. Your source(s) should be integrated into the paragraphs. Use internal citations pointing to evidence in the literature and supporting your ideas. You will need to include a reference page listing those sources. Cite a minimum of three resources.

**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](https://www.ahrq.gov/gam/index.html) 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.
