Diagnostic Approach to Fatigue in Primary Care

Fatigue is a tricky clinical topic that can seem overwhelming in a primary care visit - sometimes even for the seasoned NP. Having a game plan can help with the stress of these visits and increase your confidence when you see these patients.
In this week’s episode, let’s talk about what you need to know to be prepared for the patient with fatigue.
✅ Strategies to approaching diagnosis
✅ How to get the history you need
✅ The body systems you MUST assess
✅ Chronic causes to rule in/out
✅ Top questions to ask to be both comprehensive and efficient in the visit
✅ Which labs to order
