Managing Specific Medical Emergencies in Primary Care

Create an age appropriate, evidence based plan of care for a client that might present to a primary care setting with one of the specific emergencies listed below. Be sure that you:

Group A: Address Burns/Chemical Exposure for an infant less than 1 year of age
• Discuss the importance of being proficient in managing medical emergencies in a primary care setting
• Discuss how an evidence based plan of care is beneficial in an emergency situation
• Discuss appropriate subjective and objective information that you may find in this emergency
• Develop appropriate differential diagnoses, choose correct diagnostic exams, and develop an evidence based management plan for this patient.
Remember when creating a plan that this is an emergency situation so base your plan accordingly.
