Discussion
Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments
Using the South University Online Library, the Internet and your textbook, research the causes, symptoms, recommended diagnostic tests, possible treatments, and expected outcomes for disorders in the following systems:
- Head and neck
- Oropharynx
- Eye and the visual system
Scenario 1
A 50-year-old woman is admitted with chief complaints of headache and decreased range of motion in her neck. She also complains of vertigo, hearing loss in one ear, profuse sweating, and uncontrollable eye movements. Her past medical history indicates that she was in a motor vehicle accident three days before her admission.
- What are the possible causes of these symptoms?
- What specific diagnostic testing would you recommend? Why?
- What conditions should be ruled out? Why?
- How would you distinguish between these conditions?
Hypothesis Testing
Provide two different examples of how research uses hypothesis testing, and describe the criteria for rejecting the null hypothesis. Discuss why this is important in your practice and with patient interactions.(In nursing)
