Differential Selection : 1 of 1 (100.0%)
In this activity, you were asked to identify which differential diagnoses were essential to
investigate to ensure patient safety. You were automatically evaluated by the simulation
on whether or not you identified the appropriate list of Do-Not-Miss diagnoses.
Review the list of most appropriate Do-Not-Miss diagnoses below. Correct selections
have been marked with a , while selections you missed have been marked with a .

You were asked to select other potential differential diagnoses that you thought were
applicable to the case. Review the list of differential diagnoses below and compare your
answers to Diana's list. Your selections in this section are not automatically scored by
the simulation, but your instructor may choose to grade this list.
