I-HUMAN PATIENTS CASE STUDY: EVALUATING AND MANAGING INTEGUMENTARY CONDITIONS
This course will require you to complete a series of case studies using the i-Human Patients software application. The i-Human Patients (IHP) Case Player enables you to interact with virtual patients for the purpose of learning patient-assessment and diagnostic-reasoning skills. With IHP, you will be able to independently interview, examine, diagnose, and treat virtual patients and receive expert feedback on your performance.
The integumentary system is susceptible to a variety of diseases, conditions, and injuries, ranging from the bothersome but relatively innocuous bacterial or fungal infections and categorized as disorders, to skin cancer and severe burns, which can be life threatening.
For this NURS 6512 week 4 ihuman – 36 y/o 5′ 0″ (152 cm) 144.0 lb (65.5 kg) with Itchy rash Assignment, you will examine an i-Human Patients case study. You will then work with an i-Human patient with an integumentary condition.
