details of your “aha” moment in identifying the patient’s disorder

Practicum – Journal Entry week 6 (At least 200 words)

Reflect on a patient who presented with an eye, ear, nose, or throat disorder during your Practicum experience. (3 yr old with strep or 3 yr old with bilateral ear infections) Describe your experience in assessing and managing the patient and his or her family. Include details of your “aha” moment in identifying the patient’s disorder. Then, explain how the experience connected your classroom studies to the real-world clinical setting. If you did not have an opportunity to evaluate a patient with this background during the last 6 weeks, you may select a related case study from a reputable source or reflect on previous clinical experiences.
