Assessing Neurological Symptoms

CASE STUDY 1: Headaches 

A 20-year-old male complains of experiencing intermittent headaches. The headaches 

diffuse all over the head, but the greatest intensity and pressure occurs above the eyes 

and spreads through the nose, cheekbones, and jaw.  

The Case Study Assignment

Use the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template and create an episodic/focused note about the patient in the case study to which you were assigned using the episodic/focused note template provided in the Week 5 resources. Provide evidence from the literature to support diagnostic tests that would be appropriate for each case. List five different possible conditions for the patient's differential diagnosis, and justify why you selected each.
