Partial <strong>ASAM</strong> Scenario<br />

• Janet Johnson reports she has several medical problems.<br />

She was diagnosed as diabetic about ten years ago. She<br />

takes oral insulin and watches her diet carefully. She says<br />

<strong>the</strong> diabetes does not cause her any current problems. She<br />

also was recently diagnosed with arthritis. This causes her<br />

some periodic stiffness in her hands. Her doctor has at this<br />

point only told her to take Advil and to apply heat. She<br />

denies any o<strong>the</strong>r medical problems and, on <strong>the</strong> ASI, said<br />

she needed no additional medical care.<br />

Based solely on this information, at which level would you<br />

place this client on <strong>the</strong> Biomedical Conditions and<br />

Complications dimension<br />
