- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2024
- You have a patient who has been coughing for weeks, maybe even a couple of months. You’ve already ruled out COVID; where do you turn next?
This week, let’s talk about chronic cough - what it is, how it differs from acute cough, when to refer the patient, and more:
✅ Common causes - things like GERD, asthma, allergies
✅ The special history questions to ask and how they will help with your differentials
✅ What to watch for in the physical exam
✅ Labs and other tests to order
✅ Red flags
Coughs are common in primary care, and you will see them frequently. Knowing whether you are seeing a more common presentation or something more unusual will help you to create the best plan to take care of your patients in the most appropriate setting.

Hello Liz,
I am a new NP how long did it take before you started practicing on your own?
Usually within 3-6 months of practice with some support from your clinic most New NP's start practicing on their own.
@@RealWorldNP Thanks so much! I just started and this really gives me a good timeframe. I think that I have been dealing with imposter syndrome.
I wish she would speak more clearly. So difficult to listen to that one.
