,Patient Information
Name: Bodhi Brown
Age: 18 years
Gender: Male
Chief Complaint: Passed out (syncope) 1 day ago
Setting: Primary care clinic (urgent care visit)
Date and Time: July 16, 2025, 12:11 PM EAT
Case Overview
This case study, designed for Week #7 of the i-Human platform for
NRNP 6512, focuses on an 18-year-old male, Bodhi Brown, presenting
to a primary care clinic with a history of passing out (syncope) 1 day
ago, requiring a complete clinical evaluation and management plan.
The objectives are to:
, Obtain a comprehensive history to characterize the onset,
duration, triggers, and associated symptoms of syncope,
considering lifestyle, environmental, and medical factors in a
young adult.
Perform a targeted cardiovascular, neurologic, and systemic
physical examination to identify potential causes of syncope and
rule out red flags (e.g., cardiac or neurologic pathology).
Formulate a broad differential diagnosis for syncope in an 18-
year-old, prioritizing common causes (e.g., vasovagal syncope,
dehydration) while considering life-threatening conditions (e.g.,
arrhythmia, seizure) using clinical findings and risk stratification.
Select and justify appropriate diagnostic tests to confirm the
diagnosis, rule out serious conditions, and guide management,
balancing clinical necessity with cost-effectiveness.
Develop an evidence-based, patient-centered management plan
addressing the cause of syncope, functional limitations, and
, patient education to prevent recurrence, tailored to the patient’s
active lifestyle and age-specific needs.
The case emphasizes distinguishing benign causes of syncope
(e.g., vasovagal) from serious conditions (e.g., cardiac arrhythmia,
seizures) in a young adult, integrating comprehensive assessment
skills, patient education, and preventive strategies.
