\nCase Study Assignment
\nYou are provided with two Case Studies below, please choose ONE and prepare this for your
\nassessment submission. Analyze the Case and answer the associated questions (1-8) provided below.
\nThere is only one submission for this assessment please check the Assessments Tab on the LMS for
\nthe submission link. Read the Specific Task instructions below carefully to Help you in formatting your
\nassessment according to this specific assessment guidelines. Check the Example Case Study
\nAssessment on the Assessments Tab for support in how to answer the questions
\nSpecific Task Instructions
\n1. On your cover page please identify the case you are addressing and the name of the patient (i.e.
\nCase A: Tony Adams). The formatting instructions for all assessments are provided in the APA 7
\nReferencing Guideline. Please check this information prior to submission of your assessment as you
\nwill be assessed against this guideline. The word limit for each case is 1000 +\/10%.
\n2. Please list ONLY the number of the question at the start of each answer (e.g., (1); (2); (3) etc.)
\nnot the whole question. This will Help in reducing your Turnitin score.
\n3. For Question 3 ONLY please use a table to provide the answers for all parts of this question. Check
\nthe Example Case Study Assessment provided on the Assessments Tab for support in how to
\npresent this information in a table.
\n4. Research your answers and ensure you source supporting information from a minimum of four
\nadditional sources (in addition to the prescribed readings for the course). These sources can
\nbe any other reference textbooks, reputable websites, or peer reviewed research articles
\n(academic).
\n5. Check your Turnitin report after you have made your submission, rewrite any of your answers that
\nare highlighted in your own words to reduce similarity to resources or other students work. Headings,
\ncommon text, and referencing may be highlighted but this is not significant and can be ignored. If
\nyour answers to the questions are highlighted, please rephrase this content and then resubmit your
\nassignment before the submission deadline.
\n6. Extensions for this assessment must be submitted in writing to your Lecturer using the correct form
\nbefore the due date\/time deadline – use the Application Form for Extension of Written Assessment
\nItem – HE. If the due date\/time has passed, please submit a Special Consideration Application which
\ncan be found in College Forms.

\nQuestions: Answer the following questions in not more than 2000 words (+\/-10%). An Example
\nAssessment has been provided to help you to see how to address these questions, please check
\nthis before you begin.
\n1. What are the key clinical diagnostic features presented by this patient in the case? Identify
\nand list at least six (6) of the most relevant diagnostic features from the case. (3 marks)
\n2. What are the likely differential diagnoses for this patient? Identify and list three (3) primary
\ndisease conditions that could present with signs and symptoms similar to this patient. (3
\nmarks).
\n3. How will you make a diagnosis? For, the three conditions that you have chosen in Q2 compare
\nand contrast the conditions to identify the similarities and differences in clinical features signs
\nor symptoms, physical examination findings, vital signs or test findings e.g. pallor, headache in
\nmorning, high blood pressure or anaemia.

\nunique differential features which can be used to distinguish for each condition from the other
\ntwo (x3 per condition = 9) (9 marks). Check the Example Case Study Assessment for help in
\nhow to do this in a table format. (Total marks = 12 marks)
\n4. When taking a history how will you probe further to identify which of the differential diagnoses
\nis the most likely? Provide three (3) further questions you would like to ask the patient to
\nhelp you to narrow down the likely diagnosis and after each question explain briefly why you
\nhave selected these questions. Ensure you target your questions specifically to investigate
\nfurther the clinical presentation (signs and symptoms) which support your diagnoses. (6 marks)
\n5. What is the pathophysiology of the definitive diagnosis you have chosen? Choose one (1)
\ndefinitive diagnosis and describe the pathophysiology of this diagnosis. Include at least six well
\ndescribed aspects of the condition to get all the marks. (6 marks)
\n6. What investigative tests\/procedures would be useful to Help you in confirming your definitive
\ndiagnosis or ruling out your other diagnoses?
\na. Discuss three (3) investigative tests\/procedures that will help to confirm your
\nselection of definitive diagnosis and rule out the other two (3 marks).
\nb. Also, in your discussion explain what the expected findings would be of each test
\nthat would confirm your chosen definitive diagnosis (3 marks). (Total = 6 marks)
\n7. What are the most appropriate management options for your definitive diagnosis? Briefly
\ndescribe two (2) pharmacological and two (2) non-pharmacological management options
\nfor your chosen definitive diagnosis (4 marks).
\n8. What specific management options would be needed for your patient considering their
\npresentation, stage of disease or specific needs? Explain two (2) adjustments you need to
\nmake to the management for this specific patient (2 marks).
\nFollowing specific, academic writing and integrity guidelines (6 marks)

\nWord Count
\nWord count must be clearly displayed on the title page or cover sheet. Words more than 10% beyond
\nthe required word count will not be marked. Required word count includes in-text citations but
\nexcludes text appearing in tables, graphs, figures, footnotes, captions, and end-text references.
\nTables, graphs, and figures can enhance assignment presentation if used in moderation to convey
\ndirectly relevant information. However, if there are large numbers of tables, graphs and figures they
\nshould be included as Appendices at the end of your assignment with an interpretation of these in text.
\nTables, graphs, and figures are used to support your text and are not a substitute for your own synthesis
\nor interpretation of the material. Thus, as a guide, tables, graphs, or figures presented should not
\nconsist of more than 10% of the total assignment word count, whilst keeping in mind that any words
\nso included are not part of the required word count. If you have questions about this, please consult

\nAssessments must be handed in by the stated time. Students submitting an assessment after the due
\ndate and without an approved extension of time will lose 10% of the marks available for that
