Case Overview

John Carter, a 60-year-old retired factory worker, presents to the acute
care clinic with a three-day history of a painful, unilateral rash on his
left chest and back. The i-Human simulation for NRNP 6560 (Week 8) is
designed to develop advanced assessment and critical thinking skills in
acute care settings, requiring learners to conduct a thorough history,
perform a focused dermatologic and neurological exam, formulate an
evidence-based differential diagnosis, order targeted diagnostic tests,
and develop a patient-centered management plan. The case
emphasizes rapid identification of acute conditions, differentiation of
benign (e.g., contact dermatitis) from serious etiologies (e.g., herpes
zoster, Stevens-Johnson syndrome), and integration of 2025 healthcare
technologies (e.g., AI-driven skin analysis, telehealth) to optimize care.
