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 and prioritization of the differential diagnoses. Directions Respond in 3–4 well-developed paragraphs using evidence-based clinical reasoning and appropriate medical terminology. Support your rationale with in-text citations when appropriate.
