Introduction

For the following branching scenario, you will be introduced to a patient experiencing a medical condition. Your goal is to link this patient’s condition with the result from the exams or laboratory tests presented to you: physical exam, basic metabolic panel, arterial blood gas panel, urinalysis, or complete blood cell count. 

On the next page, you will be provided information about your patient. You will then choose which exam or test to examine. You will ALWAYS have access to your patient's vital signs and medical history, however, based on this information, you'll have to decide which tests to order to further your understanding of your patient's condition (due to budgetary and time constraints, you'll only be able order two results). Once you’ve reviewed all the information, you'll move onto the next task by clicking the following link, “Confirm patient's condition”. AFTER CLICKING THIS LINK, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GO BACK, SO SAVE THE TEST RESULTS YOU CHOSE.
