Bаsed оn the fоcused physicаl exаminatiоn you performed, the following findings were obtained: Maria is alert, oriented, and in no acute distress. Vital signs remain stable. The abdomen is soft and nondistended with mild suprapubic tenderness to palpation. No rebound tenderness, guarding, or rigidity is noted. Bowel sounds are normoactive in all quadrants. No costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness is present bilaterally. Examination of the external genitalia reveals normal female anatomy without lesions, ulcers, vesicles, erythema, edema, or excoriations. Speculum examination reveals a moderate amount of yellow-green mucopurulent discharge originating from the cervical os. The cervix appears erythematous and friable, with light contact bleeding noted during specimen collection (see picture below). The vaginal walls are pink and moist without lesions or significant inflammation. Bimanual examination demonstrates mild cervical motion tenderness. The uterus is normal in size, mobile, and nontender. No adnexal masses or adnexal tenderness are appreciated bilaterally. No inguinal lymphadenopathy is noted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Written Response Question Based on Maria Lopez’s history and physical examination findings obtained throughout this case, identify your top three differential diagnoses in order of priority. In your response: Identify three appropriate differential diagnoses and rank them in order of priority. Explain the subjective and objective assessment findings that support each differential diagnosis. Describe how the patient’s history, risk factors, and physical examination findings contribute to your clinical reasoning. Directions Respond in 3–4 well-developed paragraphs using evidence-based clinical reasoning and appropriate medical terminology. Provide in-text citations to support your rationale when appropriate. Course textbook(s), course lecture notes, and course content are the only resources permitted for this assignment. A reference page is not required. Your response should demonstrate advanced clinical reasoning based on the patient’s focused gynecologic history, sexual health history, review of systems, and physical examination findings, including interpretation of the abdominal examination, external genital examination, speculum findings, and bimanual pelvic examination findings. Please see the attached rubric.
