making a differential diagnosis 1

For this assignment, you will create a differential diagnosis for the

patient in your chosen case. This assignment continues the work you

started in the Weeks One and Two discussion forums and the Week Three

assignment. Be sure to follow the instructions in Chapter 1:

Differential Diagnosis Step by Step when creating your differential

diagnosis. Your assignment must include the following:

• Recommend a diagnosis based on the patient’s symptoms, presenting problems, and history.
• Assess the validity of your diagnosis using a sociocultural perspective.
• Compare at least one evidence-based and one non-evidence-based treatment option for the diagnosis. Research a minimum of two peer-reviewed sources to support your choices.
• Propose and provide an explanation for a minimum of two historical perspectives and two theoretical orientations that are inappropriate alternates for the conceptualizations in this case.
