PBL Case Discussion: Behavioral Health and Cultural Diversity in Primary Care Part One
Setting: urban area, medium sized city
Family practice clinic near a college which employs nurse practitioners and physicians
Part 1: Your next patient is here with complaints of not feeling well.
This is the first visit for Ed, a 19-year-old student at the nearby college. You enter the room and introduce yourself to Ed. Ed is unshaven and not well groomed. He appears to be uncomfortable as he reaches forward to shake your outstretched hand and does not make eye contact.
CC: Ed states he is here because has been having difficulty getting up for class, feeling down and is not doing well in his courses. He says, “I just feel like I don’t enjoy the activities that I used to. So I go out at night with my friends same as always, but I just don’t have the energy to get up in the morning anymore. My friends can get up and they’re doing fine in class, so I think I must be sick.”
