To prepare:

• By Day 1 of this week, your Instructor will assign an i-Human Patients case for this Assignment. Note: Please see the Course Announcements section of the classroom for your i-Human Patients Assignment.
• Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide related to the cardiovascular system.
• Access and review the assigned i-Human Patients case study. Based on the provided patient information, think about the health history you would need to collect from the patient.
• Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be most appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s condition.
• Reflect on how the results would be used to make a diagnosis.
• Identify three to five (3–5) possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.
• Consider the patient’s diagnosis. Think about clinical guidelines that might support this diagnosis.
• Develop a treatment plan for the patient that includes health promotion and patient education strategies for patients with cardiovascular conditions.
