A case-based workbook for primary care practice

Organized by chief complaint, this workbook takes clinical scenarios through the stages of patient care, from reviewing a history and examination findings to considering diagnoses, tests, and management. Its templated cases and critical-thinking questions make the clinical reasoning process explicit, while topics such as bedside communication, patient education, documentation, and interprofessional collaboration broaden the focus beyond diagnosis. Cases span organ systems and age groups, including pediatric, adolescent, adult, and geriatric patients. An online student supplement provides answers, case outcomes, and contributors’ reflections on management; the book can be used independently or in classroom settings.

  • Primary care clinicians and trainees who want to work through patient scenarios and clinical reasoning questions
  • Instructors seeking case material organized by chief complaint, diagnosis, patient population, and organ system

Book overview

Real-life primary care case studies* from more than 50 primary care providers, including physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and physicians!

101 Primary Care Case Studies offers real-life patient scenarios and critical thinking exercises to help you work through a patient's chief complaint. Through narrative case studies, you will determine how best to diagnose, treat, and manage your patient based on the history of present illness, review of systems, relevant history, and physical examination findings. This workbook will ask probing questions to help you determine differential and most likely diagnoses, diagnostic tests to order, and appropriate patient management strategies using relevant and timely references to support your decisions. The organization of each case study simulates the patient care journey from chief complaint to outcome.

Serving as a virtual clinical preceptor, this workbook can be used independently or in a classroom setting. It is accompanied by a robust online student supplement that provides answers to all questions, real outcomes of the cases, and valuable personal insights from the authors on how the patient was successfully managed. Not only will this workbook help you work through patient cases clinically, it will also share important, but often overlooked, bedside manner skills needed to successfully communicate with and care for your patients.

Covering conditions across all organ systems and across the lifespan, this workbook is organized by chief complaint, providing an authentic perspective on what to expect in the patient care environment. It even includes information on pathophysiology and how to use ICD-10 and CPT (E/M) codes in your documentation. The book uniquely weaves together both the science and art of medicine by including personal insights into quality and compassionate care.
