Abstract: 

This activity, resembling a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book is a clinical reasoning/critical thinking exercise for students interested to learn more about identifying the potential differential diagnoses of a geriatric patient. The activity provides the learner with the social and medical history of Mrs. Porter and her chief complaint during a routine visit to her physician, Dr. Pat, to obtain a medication refill. The learner is then asked to determine three potential differential diagnoses for Mrs. Porter's chief complaint. The three potential differential diagnoses are explored, with a preferred and an unfavorable plan of care presented for each diagnosis. The overall goal of the activity is to provide the learner with an understanding of a thorough examination of a geriatric patient in order to provide quality health care. 

Educational objectives: 

On completion, the learner will be able to:

  1. Identify differential diagnoses for a unique presentation of a common older adult patient condition.
  2. Identify a geriatric patient's social and medical history to develop a comprehensive treatment plan.
  3. Generate a preferred plan of care for each differential diagnosis.
Additional information/Special implementation requirements or guidelines: 

This activity is formatted as a fillable PDF file.
