Comprehensive i-Human Case Study: 28-Year-Old Male Presenting with Cough and Fatigue (Week #7, Class 6512)

This comprehensive i-Human case study focuses on a 28-year-old male presenting with cough and fatigue, emphasizing advanced clinical reasoning, diagnostic decision-making, and patient-centered care. Designed for graduate-level nursing and healthcare students, this Week 7 case (Class 6512) integrates subjective and objective data, differential diagnosis formulation, and evidence-based management planning.

The activity guides learners through the complete clinical encounter, including history taking, physical assessment, diagnostic interpretation, and creation of a safe, effective plan of care. Students apply knowledge of pathophysiology, pharmacology, and clinical practice guidelines to identify potential causes such as respiratory infection, pneumonia, asthma, or other systemic conditions contributing to the patient’s symptoms.
