• Management Plan: Create a pertinent comprehensive evidence-based management plan for AORTIC STENOSIS. If a specific component of the management plan is not warranted (i.e., no referrals are appropriate for the virtual patient) document that no intervention is warranted. Include the following components:
  • diagnostic tests
  • medications: write a specific prescription for each medication, including over-the-counter medications
  • suggested consults/referrals
  • client education
  • follow-up, including time interval and specific symptomatology to prompt a sooner return
  • cite at least one relevant scholarly source as defined by program expectationsLinks to an external site.
• Reflection: Address the following questions:
  • Which diagnostic tests did you select for this client? Using the estimated national average cost for each diagnostic test from a website such as MD save Links to an external site., calculate the total cost for diagnostic testing for this client if she was uninsured and did not meet age requirements for Medicare. How might this information change your decision to order diagnostic tests for the client? Would lack of insurance change your management plan? Why or why not?
    • The client in this encounter would likely benefit from community and health care support services. Which services might you recommend? What is available in your community? What is the process of referral in your area?
  • Include the following components:
    • write 150-300 words in a Microsoft Word document
    • demonstrate clinical judgment appropriate to the virtual patient scenario
