Use the Case Study Response Guide to format your assignment. In Section 4 of the response guide, address each of the following:

1. What diagnostic possibilities does Bill’s case present?
2. What have you read in the case history so far that presents these possibilities for you?
3. What kind of questions you might ask to evaluate each diagnostic possibility? You must consider at least two—but no more than three—diagnostic possibilities and develop a series of questions to interview for each possibility.
4. What possible answers would lead you toward or away from each of your possibilities?
