What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three (3) possible diagnoses. List them from highest to lowest priority
Assessment: What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three (3) possible diagnoses. List them from highest to lowest priority. What was your primary diagnosis, and why?
Reflection notes: What would you do differently in a similar patient evaluation? Reflect on one social determinant of health according to the HealthyPeople 2030 (you will need to research) as applied to this case in the realm of psychiatry and mental health. As a future advanced provider, what are one health promotion activity and one patient education consideration for this patient for improving health disparities and inequities in the realm of psychiatry and mental health? Demonstrate your critical thinking.
Differential Diagnoses: You must have at least three differentials with supporting
evidence. Explain what rules each differential in or out and justify your primary
diagnostic impression selection. You will use supporting evidence from the literature to support your rationale. Include pertinent positives and pertinent negatives for the specific patient case.
Also included in this section is the reflection. Reflect on this case and discuss
whether or not you agree with your preceptor’s assessment and diagnostic impression
of the patient and why or why not. What did you learn from this case? What would you
do differently?
Also include in your reflection a discussion related to legal/ethical considerations
(demonstrating critical thinking beyond confidentiality and consent for
treatment!), social determinates of health, health promotion and disease prevention
taking into consideration patient factors (such as age, ethnic group, etc.), PMH, and
other risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic, cultural background, etc.)
