Discuss what pathological changes to cells, tissues, organs, and/or organ systems occurred due to this injury or illness.

Introduce injury (pt was concussed via sled accident, head first into a tree, feel free to leave this part a little short as I can fill in the relevant case details after) – discuss the clinical presentation of the injury or illness, including symptoms, pain
descriptors (LOTAARP or OPQRST) and relevant physical signs
– discuss what methods and testing procedures determined a definitive diagnosis and
what the results of those test procedures were
– discuss what is/was the prognosis and the forecasted clinical course of treatment with this injury or illness

Pathophysiology of the injury and its effects on homeostasis (most important section!) – provide an overview of the normal anatomy and physiology that relates to the area of
injury
– discuss what pathological changes to cells, tissues, organs, and/or organ systems
occurred due to this injury or illness
– explain how homeostasis to other organs and body systems is upset as a result of the
injury

Define the injury and describe its treatment – describe the clinical and diagnostic key features that define the injury
– provide an overview of three differential diagnoses that are similar and describe how
these three differentials are ruled out
– describe what treatment may be given including the modalities,
procedures, and medicinal approaches
– describe the medications used to treat this injury, including the mechanism of
action from a pharmacodynamic perspective
– discuss any setbacks and/or consequences from the injury and treatment
