Question 4

"Fever of unknown origin" is a diagnosis known well to acute care providers. "Rash of unknown origin" is not an official diagnosis, but it is one that you will often encounter.

Imagine that during a shift a nurse calls you to the bedside to look at a "new rash" that a patient has developed over the past 4 hours.

Conduct research and locate a picture of a rash. Design a brief case study to describe the rash. Provide basic information that your classmates will need to problem-solve, diagnose, and treat the rash. Post the case study and associated picture for your classmates.
