SOAP NOTE Differential Diagnosis for Skin Conditions

1. Assignment: You are going to write a SOAP note. Use the attached template for the SOAP note and SKIN GRAPHICS. The skin graphics. Choose one graphic to write up for a SOAP note. This is to be written as a SOAP note (NO NARRATIVES). As you write the SOAP note, you must address all sections. If you are not given the information, you will need to make it up. Make sure that you use medical terminology to describe the image. Include 5 differentials and identify which is the most likely diagnosis. I recommend that you use the SOAP exemplar as a guide for this assignment.

The Lab Assignment

• Choose one skin condition graphic (identify by number in your Chief Complaint) to document your assignment in the SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan) note format rather than the traditional narrative style.. Remember that not all comprehensive SOAP data are included in every patient case.

• Use clinical terminologies to explain the physical characteristics featured in the graphic. Formulate a differential diagnosis of three to five possible conditions for the skin graphic that you chose.

Determine which is most likely to be the correct diagnosis and explain your reasoning using at least three different references, one reference from current evidence-based literature from your search and two different references from this week’s Learning Resources.

Nursing Discuss Board Questions

In this DB, you will synthesize the four research articles about your topic discussed in Modules 1 & 2. A synthesis includes an analysis of the aggregate of articles, not the individual articles. e.g. clustering and interrelating ideas from the studies to form an overall representation of the conceptual definitions, descriptions, interventions, instruments, and strengths and weaknesses of the body of knowledge represented by the articles. See the examples in Chapter 7 (in particular, Synthesizing Sources and Discussion of Empirical Literature) and Chapter 18 related to
Quantitative Research in Gray, Grove, & Sutherland (2017). This is a discussion, not a paper! Be succinct and refer to the questions below.
Use the following questions to synthesize your four articles:
1. What are the conclusions drawn from the articles in relation to your topic?
2. Identify similarities and differences of the studies. These may include a discussion of the samples, research designs, and findings, for
example.
3. Are there conflicting findings among the articles?
