Activity Learning Outcomes
Through this discussion, the student will demonstrate the ability to:
1. Interpret subjective and objective data to develop appropriate diagnoses and evidence based management plans for patients and families with complex or multiple diagnoses across the lifespan. (CO 1)
2. Develop management plans based on current scientific evidence and national guidelines. (CO 4)
Requirements:
