Mr. Larson is a 42-year-old widowed father of two children, ages
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
4 and 11. He works in a
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
sales office to support his family. Recently he has injured his back
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
and you are thinking he
i,- i,- i,- i,-
would benefit from physical therapy, three times a week, for an
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
hour per session. What would
i,- i,- i,- i,-
be your next step?
i,- i,- i,-
A) Write the physical therapy prescription.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
B) Have your office staff explain directions to the physical therapy
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
center.
C) Discuss the plan with Mr. Larson.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
D) Tell Mr. Larson that he will be going to physical therapy three
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
times a week. C) Discuss the plan with Mr. Larson.
i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
,You should discuss your proposed plan with the patient before
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
implementing it. In this case, you and Mr. Larson will need to i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
weigh the benefit of physical therapy against the
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
ability to provide for his family. You may need to consider other
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
ways of helping the patient,
i,- i,- i,- i,-
perhaps through prescribed back exercises he can do at home. It
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
is a common mistake to
i,- i,- i,- i,-
implement a plan without coming to an agreement with the i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
patient first. i,-
You are seeing an elderly man with multiple complaints. He has
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
chronic arthritis, pain from an old war injury, and headaches.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
Today he complains of these pains, as well as dull chest pain
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
under his sternum. What would the order of priority be for your
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
problem list? i,-
A) Arthritis, war injury pain, headaches, chest pain
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
B) War injury pain, arthritis, headaches, chest pain
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
C) Headaches, arthritis, war injury pain, chest pain
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
D) Chest pain, headaches, arthritis, war injury pain
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- D) Chest i,- i,-
pain, headaches, arthritis, war injury pain
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
,The problem list should have the most active and serious
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
problem first. This new complaint of chest pain is almost certainly
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
a higher priority than his other, more chronic
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
problems.
You are excited about a positive test finding you have just noticed
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
on physical examination
i,- i,-
of your patient. You go on to do more examination, laboratory
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
work, and diagnostic tests, only
i,- i,- i,- i,-
to find that there is no sign of the disease you thought would
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
correlate with the finding. This i,- i,- i,- i,-
same experience happens several times. What should you
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
conclude?
A) Consider not doing this test routinely.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
B) Use this test when you have a higher suspicion for a certain
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
correlating condition. i,-
C) Continue using the test, perhaps doing less laboratory work
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
and diagnostics. i,-
D) Omit this test from future examinations.

the test, perhaps doing less laboratory work and diagnostics.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
, This is an example of a specific test that lacks sensitivity. With this
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
scenario,
when you finally find a positive, you might be very certain that a
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
given condition is present.

We generally develop our examinations to fit our clinical
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
experiences. Sensitive tests are i,- i,- i,-
performed routinely on the screening examination, while specific i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
tests are usually saved for the
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
detailed or "branched" examinations. Branched examinations are
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
further maneuvers we can i,- i,- i,-
perform to investigate positive findings on our screening
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
examinations. Save this type of i,- i,- i,- i,-
maneuver to confirm your hypothesis. i,- i,- i,- i,-
You have recently returned from a medical missions trip to sub-
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
Saharan Africa, where you i,- i,- i,-
learned a great deal about malaria. You decide to use some of the
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
same questions and i,- i,-
maneuvers in your "routine" when examining patients in the i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
midwestern United States. You i,- i,- i,-
are disappointed to find that despite getting some positive

answers and findings, on further i,- i,- i,- i,-
