Case and Discussion: Headache

A 35-year-old woman comes to your office to discuss her “bad
headaches,” which started after having her first child 2 years ago. The
headaches sometimes awaken her from sleep and at times can be disabling and

severe and frequent, prompting her visit today.

What additional questions would you ask to learn more about
her headaches?

How do you classify headaches?

How can you determine if this is an old headache or a new
headache/s? Is this a chronic or episodic condition?

Can you make a definite diagnosis through an open-ended
history followed by focused questions?

How can you use the patient history to distinguish between
benign headaches and serious ones that require urgent attention?

What diagnostic tests do you want to include to help you
with your diagnosis?

Create a differential diagnosis flow sheet for this patient
for this patient and include the diagnostics related to the differentials.

Unit 10 Assignment

Final Clinical Evaluation — 300 points

This unit will contain the mandatory preceptor final
evaluation in Rx Preceptor. Your preceptors will receive an automatic email
from the Rx Preceptor system during week 8 and then weekly until week 9 to
complete evaluations. Grading will follow the scale below and will be a
collaboration between your faculty and preceptor. Any area of assessment with a
score of 2.4 or below will receive an entire evaluation score of 0 points as
failure in any area of assessment constitutes a failing evaluation. Any element
of the evaluation that states the student is not safe or is unsafe will result
in a “0” for the final evaluation and failure of the course.

Final evaluation will be worth 300 points and will follow
the grading rubric below:

Score of 4 to 5 all 300 points awarded

Score of 3 to 3.9 = 240/300 points awarded

Score of 2.5 to 2.9 = 210/300 points awarded

Score of 2.4 and below = 0

Students must also complete both the evaluation of their
preceptor and site for credit. The evaluations provide faculty an overview of your
clinical performance and experiences with your preceptor and clinical location.
The final clinical evaluation is required to pass the course.

Failure to complete all clinical hours or all associated Rx
Preceptor documentation (clinical time log, patient encounter log, preceptor
evaluation of student, and student evaluation of preceptor) will result in
