Students should also review the various causes of elevation of hepatic enzymes in detail using current journal articles pertinent to this topic. A “patient chart” will be posted in the Liver/Hepatitis content section in the course prior to the session.One student will be selected to be the designated spokesperson for the class. Students in class and online will interview the patient. The session will be recorded; therefore if a student is not able to be present in class or online, they are responsible for listening to the recorded session. After class is complete, as a group, students will have an on-line discussion in the discussion section under Liver PBL. Students need to discuss the mostly likely three differentials with rationale and references, with the mostly likely listed as number one. All students should submit their answers and a consensus will need to be decided. Include also the diagnostics, with rationale, that should be done at this visit. The results of the diagnostics requested by the spokesperson will be posted in the Liver/Hepatitis content section within 24 hours of the diagnostic request. (2.5points)After you have received the diagnostic results, individually, select your final diagnosis for today’s visit. Explain the rationale, references and the pathophysiology of the diagnosis. (2.5 points) Write your plan in detail. This should be written as if you are the NP writing the prescriptions and talking with the patient—everything that you would actually discuss in the office visit. Points will be deducted if this is not clear to the patient. (9 points)In your plan, address any other medical issues that are pertinent to this patient and changes in the medical plan, if any, which should be considered at today’s visit or at future visits. Please be specific. (9 points)Please save the final document as a word file. Save with your last name and case name (i.e. SmithRenalPBL). The document must use 12 point font.
