Differential Diagnosis in the Older Adult (APRN)

Von Stephen Holt, MD, MS, Kimberly Posey, AGPCNP-BC, DNP, PhD, GS-C

Differential diagnosis in older adults presents unique challenges due to atypical disease presentations, multiple coexisting conditions, and age-related physiological changes. This knowledge is essential for healthcare providers, as accurate diagnosis forms the foundation for appropriate treatment selection and optimal patient outcomes in geriatric care.

This course connects fundamental knowledge of pathophysiology with clinical reasoning skills necessary for geriatric assessment. Students will build upon their understanding of normal aging processes to develop advanced diagnostic skills specific to older adults. Prior knowledge of health assessment and pathophysiology across body systems is required to fully engage with the complexities of geriatric diagnosis.

Very good lecture. I would include central vs peripheral approach.
von Vera K. am 31. August 2024 für Differential Diagnosis: Approach to a Patient with Vertigo

This is a very important lecture. “Dizziness” is one of the main presenting complaint in the stroke clinics. I think it would be useful a central vs peripheral approach, and to explain in more detail the physical examination findings that suggest central causes vs peripheral. If this was included in the lecture, I would have rated as 5 stars, as it has been very useful lecture and well presented lecture. Thank you very much.
