STARTING WITH CASE #3:
Incorporate at least TWO additional secondary/co-morbid conditions in your case study. Select any two conditions from other units from this semester. Be sure to discuss any past or ongoing treatments, relationship to the main condition, discuss the risks and symptoms and whether they are under control with the stated treatment, describe if/how these conditions make the patient a higher risk for mortality or more complicated to care for. You may add a slide for secondary/co-morbid conditions, or you may integrate them into the existing slides, whichever makes the most sense for your patient’s story.

Please do not critique or discuss the quality of the cases or the PowerPoint design; however, if you find a case study particularly engaging or interesting, you are welcome to give it alike.
The discussion will remain open for one week following the due date for the case posting. The discussion portion of this assignment will be graded based on the content of your postings and the level of quality and participation in the interactive discussion. Each subsequent posting should include an open‐ended, thought-provoking question in order to promote further in-depth and meaningful discussion.
Interactive discussion participation requirements are as follows:
Minimum Participation Expectation – full participation includes interactive discussion on a minimum of THREE (3) different CLINICAL TOPICS in addition to responding to postings for your topic.
Participation is interactive – there is evidence of reading and responding appropriately to peers in a conversational manner (i.e., there is a give and take exchange of information and ideas with conversations have a clear line of thought), postings take place early and often and occur on a minimum of 3 different days.
Postings are value-added – postings serve to contribute to learning and advance the discussion by posing thought-provoking questions or positions, adding insight to the conversation, injecting personal opinion of the topic being discussed, challenging status quo, etc. Postings such as “interesting” and “nice job” do not meet this requirement and will be excluded when grading the level of participation. Postings that violate WCTC civility guidelines will be excluded from grading and could result in disciplinary action.
