Assessing neurological symptoms

Case Study Assignment: Assessing Neurological Symptoms

CASE STUDY: Numbness and Pain A 47-year-old obese female complains of pain in her right wrist, with tingling and numbness in the thumb and index and middle fingers for the past 2 weeks. She has been frustrated because the pain causes her to drop her hair-styling tools. 

Case Study Assignment should be in the Episodic/Focused SOAP Note format 

Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient in the case study you were assigned.

Consider      what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather      more information about the patient’s condition. How would the results be      used to make a diagnosis? Provide evidence from the literature to support      diagnostic tests that would be appropriate for each case.

Identify at      least five possible conditions that may be considered in a      differential diagnosis for the patient.
