Keys are clarity, consistency, and structure with a positve tone.

Question 8

Yes: Varicella (chickenpox) can be diagnosed on exam by an experienced physician but it may have been mislabeled now or as a child.

Deserves a re-check: Without a hands on exam it is hard to speculate whether this is just her problem breaking up or worsening. Some kids that age with a bronchitis will cough for a month.
