This clinical reasoning case presents a patient with robert diaz / t2dm / admitted for pneumonia / glucose 387 on morning labs / on insulin drip in a endocrinology context. Learners work through a structured 10-phase simulation covering initial differential, history-taking, physical examination, labs and imaging, and management planning.
"Robert was admitted for pneumonia. This morning his glucose is 387 on an insulin drip protocol. He is eating a full diet. His home medications include glipizide. The physician orders sliding scale insulin in addition to the drip. What is the most dangerous element of this order — and what does your inpatient diabetes management education need to cover before discharge?"
How the Simulation Works
- Read the patient presentation and form your initial differential diagnosis
- Interview the AI patient to gather history and explore your hypotheses
- Perform a focused physical examination based on your differential
- Order appropriate labs and imaging, then interpret the results
- Revise your diagnosis and develop a management plan
- Receive personalized teaching feedback from your AI attending, Dr. Patel
What You'll Learn
This case builds skills in systematic clinical reasoning, hypothesis-driven history-taking, appropriate test ordering, and evidence-based management. It is designed for Nursing students and practicing clinicians seeking to sharpen diagnostic thinking in endocrinology.
