Kayla brings Riley, now 17 months, in for complaint of fever and rash.\u00a0 The fever began \u201ca couple of days ago\u201d and is of normal levels in the morning then gets as high as 103 to 104 degrees in the afternoons.\u00a0 Riley has also had clear rhinorrhea and in the last 24 hours he has developed a red, diffuse rash to the torso and abdomen that does not itch and a dry cough in the last day. Mother reports he is drinking, but not as well as usual.\u00a0 He did have a good wet diaper this morning, but is not really eating much and is not playing.<\/p>\n
Medications: Mother is giving OTC Robitussin cough and cold at 1 tsp last night and this morning.\u00a0 Liquid Tylenol \u00bd a tsp last night and this morning.
\nShe is very concerned about the level of the fever and the fact that after 3 days he is not improving.
\nDiscussion Questions Part One<\/p>\n
We will begin by focusing on gathering history in an ill child.<\/p>\n
What \u2018red flags\u2019 did you note in the historical data?
\nWhat data is most important to include in this particular case and which historical data that might be gathered on a well-child exam can be left out of this ill visit?
\nWhat are your differential diagnoses?
\nWhat parts of the physical exam will you focus on today to rule in or out your differentials?

After reviewing the physical exam.
\nWhat were your \u2018red flags\u2019 on physical exam?<\/p>\n
For assignments that need to be submitted to Lopes Write, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a \u201cfinal submit\u201d to me.<\/p>\n
Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.<\/p>\n
Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else\u2019s thoughts more than your own?<\/p>\n
Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.<\/p>\n
The university\u2019s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.<\/p>\n
