Differential diagnoses are developed by a clinician upon learning of the chief complaint. One must begin to develop the possibility of potential diagnoses mentally to guide the care provided to the patient. These potential diagnoses are developed by the care provider and are often based on one’s past clinical experiences, awareness of the illness and a clear understanding of the patient’s complaint (Goolsby & Grubbs, 2014). The care provider with experience may develop these diagnoses independently and others with less experience may utilize evidence-based resources and clinical guidelines to aid in this process (Goolsby & Grubbs, 2014). The process for reaching a final diagnosis requires further investigation and use of physical assessment

A person who has a cough, has cough up mucus, or has a hard time breathing would seek professional help from a doctor. The doctor would ask the patient question about him or her health. After the questions, the doctor would listen to the patient chest with his or her stethoscope to hear how the air passes in and out of the lungs.

Dizziness, fatigue, lightheadedness, and ringing in the ear are all examples of symptoms. There is no way to verify these symptoms by examining a patient. Signs that can be observed include paleness, sweating, and rash. Signs that can be measured include vital signs such as heart rate, temperature, blood pressure, and breathing rate. Sometimes signs and symptoms can be connected. One example would be a nausea

Although the movie never specifies what Teddy’s diagnosis was, Dissociative Identity Disorder is the primary disorder that he should be diagnosed with and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder should be secondary. Dissociative Identity Disorder is characterized by the presence of two or more distinct personality states. The multiple personalities differ in many areas including affect, behavior, memory, perception, cognition, and sensory and motor function. The disorder causes great distress and/or impairment in the individual who suffers from it. In the movie Shutter Island, Teddy suffers from identities. His main personality, or host, is discovered at the end of the movie to be Laeddis. His secondary personality, or alter, is the personality of Teddy. These are the only two personalities that he switches between. When the character was Teddy, he did not remember anything about Laeddis. In fact, he thought Laeddis was an entirely different person. Dissociative Identity Disorder often occurs as the result of a traumatic event. In Teddy’s case it was the result of his wife drowning his children. and then him subsequently shooting her.

Finally, the patient is acting confused and disoriented, which can be the direct result of a lack of oxygenation to the brain. All of these symptoms point to pneumonia (Torres, 1999).
