Part 3 (see your document)
1. Look at your notes and flowchart you created. Notice similarities and differences before you move on to the next step.
2. Once you have created your flow chart, I will assign you a medical team and patient with a mystery illness through email. Communicate with your team to investigate the patient's diagnosis.
Also, use Activities 8.1.1 and 8.1.2 to review Vital Signs to help you diagnose your patient. Let me know if you do not have your copy.
3. Utilize your flow chart to identify which pathogen has infected your patient. Use the listed Internet sources in your 8.1.4 to research a treatment plan.
4. Once you have identified the pathogen:
A. Create a case file of your patient with no more than 6 slides
B. Create two professional letter:
i. to a specialist referring the patient using
the following information:
◦ Patient history
◦ Vital signs
◦ Probable pathogen (include an
image and mode of infection)
◦ Request treatment advice
ii. to the patient using the following
information:
◦ Patient history
◦ Vital signs
◦ Probable pathogen
◦ Is the pathogen contagious or
infectious?
◦ How does the pathogen enter the
body? Ingested, inhaled, absorbed,
etc.
◦ Precautions to take to avoid spread,
◦ Common treatment plan (Medication)
◦ Prevention
