Instructor/Facilitator help:
1. One short paragraph on three differential diagnoses. Do not just say “symptoms are vague, no diagnoses possible, I will do further assessment.”

4. Discuss mechanism of action and key kinetics of these agents.

6. Long discussions/stories of no relevance to advanced pharmacology will carry no value with this project.
