The body is constantly sending signals
about its health. One of the most easily
recognized signals is pain.
Musculoskeletal conditions comprise one
of the leading causes of severe long-term
pain in patients. The musculoskeletal
system is an elaborate system of
interconnected levers that provides the
body with support and mobility. Because
of the interconnectedness of the
musculoskeletal system, identifying the
causes of pain can be challenging.
Accurately interpreting the cause of
musculoskeletal pain requires an
assessment process informed by patient
history and physical exams.
In this Discussion, you will consider case studies that describe abnormal findings in patients seen
in a clinical setting.

To prepare:
By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to one of the following specific case studies for this
Discussion. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your
assignment from your Instructor.
Your Discussion post should be in the Episodic/Focused SOAP Note format rather than the
traditional narrative style Discussion posting format. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and
the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template in the Week 5 Learning Resources for guidance.
Remember that all Episodic/Focused SOAP notes have specific data included in every patient
case.
Review the following case studies:
Case 1: Back Pain
(https://waldenu.instructure.com/courses/85632/files/5407561/preview) A 42-year-old male reports
pain in his lower back for the past month. The pain sometimes radiates to his left leg. In
determining the cause of the back pain, based on your knowledge of anatomy, what nerve roots
might be involved? How would you test for each of them? What other symptoms need to be
explored? What are your differential diagnoses for acute low back pain? Consider the possible
origins using the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) guidelines as a framework.
What physical examination will you perform? What special maneuvers will you perform?
Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity.

A 46-year-old female reports pain in both of her
ankles, but she is more concerned about her
right ankle. She was playing soccer over the
weekend and heard a “pop.” She is able to
bear weight, but it is uncomfortable. In
determining the cause of the ankle pain, based
on your knowledge of anatomy, what foot
structures are likely involved? What other
symptoms need to be explored? What are your
differential diagnoses for ankle pain? What
physical examination will you perform? What
special maneuvers will you perform? Should
you apply the Ottawa ankle rules to determine
if you need additional testing?

Case 3: Knee Pain
(https://waldenu.instructure.com/courses/85632/files
/5407665/preview)
A 15-year-old male reports dull pain in both
knees. Sometimes one or both knees click, and
the patient describes a catching sensation
under the patella. In determining the causes of
the knee pain, what additional history do you
need? What categories can you use to
differentiate knee pain? What are your specific
differential diagnoses for knee pain? What
physical examination will you perform? What
anatomic structures are you assessing as part
of the physical examination? What special
maneuvers will you perform?
With regard to the case study you were assigned:
Review this week's Learning Resources, and consider the insights they provide about the case
study.
Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient in the case study you
were assigned.
Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more
information about the patient's condition. How would the results be used to make a diagnosis?
Identify at least five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for
the patient.
Note: When you submit your initial post, please include a header as the first line
indicating your assigned case study. For example, “Review of Case Study ___.” Fill in
the blank with the number of the case study you were assigned.
Post an episodic/focused note about the patient in the case study to which you were assigned
using the episodic/focused note template provided in the Week 5 resources. Provide evidence
from the literature to support diagnostic tests that would be appropriate for each case. List five
different possible conditions for the patient's differential diagnosis, and justify why you selected
each.

The four principles, especially in the context of bioethics in the United States, has often been critiqued for raising the principle of autonomy to the highest place, such that it trumps all other principles or values. How would you rank the importance of each of the four principles? How do you believe they would be ordered in the context of the Christian biblical narrative?

STUDENT ROLES DURING SIMULATION:
You are the staff nurse at the hospital who will be conducting a comprehensive assessment. After completing your assessment, you are expected to document your findings as a nurses note in SBAR format.
KEY FEATURES OF i-HUMAN:
· As the nurse, you are expected to complete the case scenario using the following tabs: EHR, History, Physical, Nursing Notes, Summary
· There are required questions and/or additional information provided related to this case. The questions, information, and videos must be completed/reviewed prior to progressing to the next tab.
· Nursing Notes: At the end of the simulation, you will document your assessment findings using ISBAR.
CONFIDENTIALITY:
To preserve the educational value, integrity, and safety of the learning environment, you agree to maintain strict confidentiality about the proceedings of the simulation session, details of the training scenarios, and the performance of all participants. You acknowledge that this expectation aligns with the guidelines related to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) as well as laws governing Protected Health Information (PHI) in client care environments. You will not view, discuss, share, record, or disclose any confidential information pertaining to the session. You understand that lapses in confidentiality are considered academic misconduct and could result in dismissal from the academic program.
FICTION AGREEMENT:
You will suspend judgment of realism for any given simulation in exchange for the promise of learning new knowledge and skills, treating the simulated patients with the same care due an actual patient, act with a genuine desire to learn even when it may be difficult to do so.
DUE DATE:
The virtual simulation must be completed during
Week 5
.
· Pre-simulation preparation: 30-60 minutes
