Please generate at least 5 differential diagnoses for a cough. Describe how the FNP would clinically manage and follow up this patient based on each differential diagnosis.
Cough is one of the most common symptom in primary practice. Subacute cough is defined as cough persisting for 3-8 weeks, and chronic cough as that persisting for more than 8 weeks in adults. The difficulty is in determining the cause of cough, because some “etiologies” are syndromes without accurate diagnostic tests. The cause is determined instead by typical historical features, elimination of alternative causes, and response to targeted therapies. Some differential diagnosis for cough include: upper airway cough syndrome (UACS; postnasal drip); asthma; gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); nonasthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis (NAEB); angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor); and chronic bronchitis/COPD.
