HW - 4/17/13 and Micronutrient PBAT Overview

Tonight's homework is to study for the exam. I suggest making a chart/study guide from this week's notes. You can (but do not have to) continue working on the PBAT you started in class. 

Diagnosing a Dietary Disaster!

Introduction

You have just graduated medical school and are now beginning your residency. You and your team of other residents will be working together to help Dr. House (who is back from the “dead,” but can’t practice medicine) with some of his more straightforward cases (sorry, no Exploding Head Syndrome or hypertrichosis to solve this time). Your task is as follows:

1. Based on the reporting patient’s symptoms, make a claim and diagnose the dietary deficiency to the best of your ability. Support your conclusion with logical reasoning.

2. Recommend a treatment for the patient with an explanation of why you think this will work.

3. Produce a write-up for the patient’s medical files as well as a report to your supervisor. Your individual write-up will include the following:

a. The patient’s symptoms

b. Your diagnosis of the dietary deficiency and the reasoning/evidence behind it

c. Your recommendation for treatment supported by reasoning and evidence

d. A prognosis for the patient – Do you expect the patient to survive? Will he or she live a normal life and be able to maintain homeostasis? Explain.

e. An APA formatted bibliography
