Loading Nervous System Scenario

Introduction

As future nurse practitioners you will need to critically think through various pathways to establish differential diagnoses that ultimately leads to your final treatment plan.

A branching case scenario allows you the opportunity to choose various alternative answers to work through a case study. Selecting the correct answers will provide additional choices to advance you through the scenario. Choosing an incorrect answer will provide you the opportunity to learn by redirecting you to another path as you continue to work through the case study. The ultimate goal of the branching case scenario is to provide you with an interactive method of critical thinking needed to manage the needs of geriatric patients.

Let’s start with a quick nervous system scenario.
