I do not of course need the recording because I can do that on my own. But everything else I would need.
Assignment Prompt:
Signature Assignment Description/Directions: Develop a SOAP note and accompanying oral presentation. Choose a memorable, interesting, or challenging patient encounter during this clinical rotation that you have not previously presented to your class or submitted for a SOAP note. Do not use simple cases such as URI or UTI symptoms, ear pain, sore throat, follow-ups, or runny nose. Ask your instructor if you are in doubt whether or not your case is challenging or interesting.
Directions:
Submit a written SOAP note for this case, with an assessment and plan that demonstrate critical thinking skills and application of evidence based practice.
Support your clinical decision making with at least two (2) peer-reviewed references other than required course textbooks.
After writing your SOAP note, record an oral presentation to accompany the note to describe the case to your instructor and classmates.
Engage your audience and explain why the case was a meaningful learning opportunity. Spend more time on the sections discussing why the case was meaningful, your critical thinking process, and your holistic approach and caring science, since the written portion will elaborate on the medical aspects of the case. Keep the oral presentation of the facts of the case brief.
Explain which resources you used and which portions of the history or physical led you to the chosen diagnosis and include the evidence that supported your decision making and treatment plan.
In the presentation, include how you incorporated a holistic approach and how you applied one of Jean Watson’s ten carative factors into your care of this patient.
