Week 6 Discussion – Diagnosis and Management of Respiratory,
Cardiovascular and Genetic Disorders Case Study 1:
HPI: A 14-month-old brought Native American boy by his mom
due to cough, low grade fever and runny nose for the past 2 days.
This morning, the mother noted that her son was breathing
quickly and “it sounds like she has rice cereal popping in her
throat.” Mom is worried because her son seems to have a lot of
‘bouts of colds”. Per mom, his oral intake is decreased. He didn’t
want to eat this morning.
PE: Smiling, alert Caucasian boy.
