the Lifespan Practicum | Chamberlain
Advanced Clinical Diagnosis and Practice Across the Lifespan Practicum - Chamberlain
Week 1 focuses on foundational diagnostic skills, including chief complaint (CC), subjective
vs. objective data, neurological assessment basics, and common differentials like headaches
(migraine vs. tension), vertigo (BPPV vs. Meniere's), dementia vs. delirium, and post-concussive
syndrome vs. TBI.
Key Concepts: Subjective vs. Objective Data
1. The chief complaint (CC) is located in which section of the SOAP note?
SubjectiveRationale: CC is the patient's own words describing the main reason for the
visit.
2. Which of the following is considered subjective data? Patient reports "I have a throbbing
headache on one side"Rationale: Subjective = symptoms reported by patient (what they
feel/say).
3. Which of the following is objective data? Blood pressure 140/90 mmHg, photophobia on
examRationale: Objective = measurable/observable findings by provider.
4. In history taking, the OLDCARTS acronym helps explore: Subjective symptoms (Onset,
Location, Duration, Characteristics, Aggravating/Alleviating, Related symptoms,
Treatments, Severity)Rationale: Structures detailed HPI.
Neurological Assessment Basics
5. Minimum neurologic exam for headache evaluation includes: Cranial nerves III-VII, limb
strength, coordination, gaitRationale: Screens for focal deficits indicating serious cause.
