Review the interactive media      piece/branching exercise provided in the Learning Resources.
Reflect on the patient’s      symptoms and aspects of disorders that may be present in the interactive      media piece/branching exercise.
Consider how you might      assess, perform diagnostic tests, and recommend medications to treat      patients presenting with the symptoms in the interactive media      piece/branching exercise.
You will be asked to develop      a set of admission orders based on the patient in the branching      exercise. 

The Assignment
Using the Required Admission Orders Template, write a full set of admission orders for the patient in the branching exercise.

Be sure to address each      aspect of the order template
Write the orders as you      would in the patient’s chart
Make sure the order is      complete and applicable to the patient
Any rationale you feel the      need to supply should be done at the end of the order set – not included      with the order
Please do not write per      protocol. We do not know what your protocol is and you need to demonstrate      what is appropriate standard of care for this patient.
