QUESTION
Some clinicians may find it difficult to explain the logic behind their clinical thinking. As you gain experience, your clinical reasoning will begin at the outset of the patient encounter, not at the end. Reflect on the clinical reasoning you used during this virtual patient encounter. Describe the steps taken to identify and interpret the key findings in this case. What are some “lessons learned” within the assessment that you can apply to your professional practice as a provider? Include the following components:
i. type 150-300 words in a Microsoft Word document
ii. demonstrate clinical judgment appropriate to the virtual patient scenario
iii. cite at least one relevant scholarly source as defined by program expectations
iv. communicate with minimal errors in English grammar, spelling, syntax, and punctuation
