The Case Study Assignment should be in the Episodic/Focused SOAP Note format rather than the traditional narrative style format. (attached)
- Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient in the case study you were assigned.
- Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s condition. How would the results be used to make a diagnosis?
- Identify at least five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.
- Use APA format and validate the diagnosis with references (updated on the last 5 years)
