QUALIFYING STATEMENTS<br />
The Department of Veterans Affairs (<strong>VA</strong>) and The Department of Defense (<strong>DoD</strong>) guidelines are based on<br />
the best information available at the time of publication. They are designed to provide information and<br />
assist in decision-making. They are not intended to define a standard of care and should not be construed<br />
as one. Also, they should not be interpreted as prescribing an exclusive course of management.<br />
Variations in practice will inevitably and appropriately occur when providers take into account the needs of<br />
individual patients, available resources, and limitations unique to an institution or type of practice. Every<br />
healthcare professional making use of these guidelines is responsible for evaluating the appropriateness of<br />
applying them in any particular clinical situation.<br />
