Depending on your practice area, this could be a patient issue or problem or it could be a healthcare system issue or situation.

They experienced frequent bouts of  bronchitis and missed many days of work and school].
  2. Think about the concept in the situation but do not provide it since your peers will try to see if they have the correct one. In this case, the concept I am thinking of is adherence to medications, but you may think of the following: health maintenance, or chronic illnesses. You will not post the concept that you are thinking of.
  3. detailedobjective narrative of this issue or clinical situation should be provided so that the readers (instructor and peers) can picture themselves in the situation and are able to identify the concept.
  4. Do not draw conclusions or try to solve the situation in this narrative.
