· Differential diagnoses

· Incidence

· Development and course

· Prognosis

· Considerations related to culture, gender, age

· Pharmacological treatments, including any side effects

· Pertinent patient education considerations

By Day 7 of Week 8

You will need to submit your Assignment to two places: the Week 8 Study Guide discussion forum as an attachment and the Week 8 Assignment submission link.
