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 Guidelines 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. Neurologic Function Case Study Paper
