Compare and contrast the risk of complication, comorbidity or mortality with the first element of medical decision making, the number of diagnosis(es) and/or management option(s). Be specific
What will be an ideal response?
The answer should include:
· A brief review of the definition for the number of diagnosis(es) and/or management option(s), which should identify…
i. The physician's familiarity with the presenting problem and
ii. Any potential (or current) management options for the treatment of this presenting problem.
· However, the risk of complications, comorbidity or mortality identifies just how much risk this presenting problem or management option poses to the health of the patient. This requires a higher level of specificity for, not only the identification of the presenting problem, but the clinical impact the presenting problem has had, is having, or will continue to have on the patient's health.
· The number of diagnosis(es) and/or management options simply identifies the possible, probable or rule out diagnosis, which leaves room for definitive clarification of the presenting problem.
· However, the risk of complications, comorbidity or mortality identifies the specific risk posed by this presenting problem, the diagnostic procedure ordered to diagnose definitively the presenting problem, and the management option selected to treat or manage the presenting problem.
