In оne оf оur upcoming Leаrning Modules, you will leаrn аbout the ways we acquire information about the goings on of American politics and government and how we evaluate the accuracy of that information. But before that learning begins, I'd like you to reflect upon your own encounters with information about politics and government and answer the following questions: How do you encounter information about the goings on of American politics and government? Do you search it out? Where does the information you encounter tend to come from? How do you go about evaluating the accuracy of the information you encounter? Please note: It is not necessary to reveal your personal political views, although it is also okay to do so. The focus can be limited to the specifics of how you encounter and evaluate information rather than specifics of what information you encounter.

Based on the provided case information up to this point, please review and update your top three (3) differential diagnosis list as you see necessary. You may add/change diagnoses as needed. Please list your updated top three (3) most likely diagnoses, with your lead (top) diagnosis being the diagnosis that you feel is most likely in this case. [PLO 2] (Q2.) [PLO 3] Please select and list a total of only three (3) diagnostic tests that will be useful in establishing any of your three diagnoses. These may include laboratory tests, imaging, and/or diagnostic procedures that will assist in evaluation of this patient. (Note: Do NOT list diagnostics for EACH differential; please only list a total of three. Also, do NOT include “EKG” as a possible diagnostic since this was already provided to you.) Then, for each diagnostic test selected, please explain your rationale for ordering that test. You must include and associate the medical condition which you are evaluating for with each diagnostic test. Lastly, please provide an expected result for each diagnostic test based on the associated condition that you are evaluating for. (Example to clarify part B and C above: If ordering a rapid strep test to evaluate a pt for streptococcal pharyngitis and you are concerned that the patient has strep throat, you would expect the test result to be “positive”. The test would be the rapid strep test, the associated diagnosis would be streptococcal pharyngitis, and the expected result would be “positive”.)
