The purpose of the case study is for you to expand on the pathophysiological disease process by searching for evidence-based practice treatment and advanced practice nursing role implications related to the disease.
Part 1:
Compare and contrast the 3 conditions in one of the charts below:
PAIN SYNDROME

Migraine Headaches
Tension Headaches
Meningitis
Risk Factors
Pathophysiology
Clinical Manifestations
OR
NEUROLOGIC SYNDROME

Dementia
Depression
Anxiety
Risk Factors
Pathophysiology
Clinical Manifestations
Part 2:
Choose a pain or neurologic syndrome to explore. You can also choose a diagnosis not listed (that coincides with your advanced practice specialty) as long as it relates to the neurological function.
Present a hypothetical case that includes the following:
Vital information about a person who might be predisposed to this condition (I.e., a person who may have risk factors for this condition).
The pathophysiology of the disease, including clinical manifestations.
Which diagnostic tests you’d recommend and a rationale for the one(s) you choose.
How this condition compares to other differentials.
The evidence-based recommendations from the AHRQ GuidelinesLinks to an external site. or guidelines recommended from a professional organization. Based on these recommendations, discuss how to manage the condition best.
A patient safety issue that could be associated with the condition presented in this case.
Part 3:
Answer these reflection questions:
What information would a master’s prepared nurse gather from a patient with this condition?
How could the master’s prepared nurse use this information to design a patient education session for someone with this condition?
What was the most confusing or challenging information presented in this case?
Expectations:
Your paper should be 3–4 pages (excluding cover and reference pages).
Use medical terminology and appropriate graduate level writing.
Your resources must include research articles and reference to non-research evidence-based
AHRQ Guidelines.Links to an external site.
Use APA format to style your paper and to cite your sources. Your source(s) should be integrated into the paragraphs. Use internal citations pointing to evidence in the literature and supporting your ideas. You will need to include a reference page listing those sources. Cite a minimum of three resources.
Review the rubric for more information on how your assignment will be graded.
