Discussion: Patients with anterograde amnesiaDiscussion: Patients with anterograde
amnesiamagine not being able to form new memories. This is the reality patients with
anterograde amnesia face. Although this form of amnesia is rare, it can result from severe
brain trauma. Anterograde amnesia demonstrates just how impactful brain disorders can be
to a patient’s quality of living. Accurately assessing neurological symptoms is a complex
process that involves the analysis of many factors.In this Case Study Assignment, you will
consider case studies that describe abnormal findings in patients seen in a clinical
setting.To PrepareBy Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to a specific case study for this
Case Study Assignment. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom
for your assignment from your Instructor.Also, your Case Study Assignment should be in the
Episodic/Focused SOAP Note format rather than the traditional narrative style format.
Refer to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template in the
Week 5 Learning Resources for guidance. Remember that all Episodic/Focused SOAP notes
have specific data included in every patient case.With regard to the case study you were
assigned:Review this week’s Learning Resources, and consider the insights they provide
about the case study.Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient
in the case study you were assigned.Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests
would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s condition. How would
the results be used to make a diagnosis?Identifyat least fivepossible conditions that may be
considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.The Case Study AssignmentUse the
Episodic/Focused SOAP Template and create an episodic/focused note about the patient in
the case study to which you were assigned using the episodic/focused note template
provided in the Week 5 resources. Provide evidence from the literature to support
diagnostic tests that would be appropriate for each case. List five different possible
conditions for the patient’s differential diagnosis, and justify why you selected
each.Attached is the episodic template to be usedTHE CASE STUDYA 33-year-old female

welORDER NOW FOR ORIGINAL, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your
paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker;
failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to
suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will
be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and

2. make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your
paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected
mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or
compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is
better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress
it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing,
increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any
other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable,
wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must be neatly formatted,
double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When
submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to
read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
