6 - Processes Scenario Consider a guideline for how to deal with a patient admitted to the hospital with high fever. First, the physician orders lab tests to determine the cause. While waiting for the results, the physician prescribes tylenol to reduce the fever, to be given every 4 hours until the fever is gone. If the lab test shows a bacterial infection, then the physician prescribes an anitbiotic to be given twice a day until the infection is gone. If the cause is viral, no antibiotic is given.
Problems Represent the guideline as a procedure using conceptual graphs.
Define any necessary intermediate events and states. Consider alternative flows, repeating loops and concurrent events. Show a possible history for a patient with bacterial infection. Make appropriate assumptions about starting and stopping times of events, and durations of states.
