Reflect on personal and professional growth toward achieving competence as a family nurse practitioner.
Requirements
For Week 4 of the course there is no case study given to you by the faculty. Instead you will choose from one of systems identified on your
APEA predictor exam where you obtained the lowest score. You will research that area of content in relation to complaints and disorders that
commonly occur in family practice. You will work up a case study that begins with a chief complaint commonly seen in primary care based on
that system. The case should be clear and include all elements of a normal case that might be presented in class (subjective, objective,
assessment, and full 5 point plan). Your eLogs will be helpful for this process, or notes you have taken in clinical regarding cases. The case
needs to be clear, organized, and meet the following guidelines:
