NU671 Clinical Decision-Making

Unit 9 Discussion

Clinical Experience

You have been reviewing SOAP or partial SOAP notes in prior units.

For the patient encounter from your last week clinical experience construct a SOAP note.

Use your ‘model’ thinking as you construct each element of the SOAP note to ensure that each element of the note is consistent/congruent with the other sections and that you have adequate subjective and objective data that support your ‘assessment’.

Elements of the ‘plan’ need to reflect current EBP and CPGs. Be sure to include appropriately constructed in-text citations.

Responses need to address all components of the question, demonstrate critical thinking and analysis and include peer-reviewed journal evidence to support the student’s position.

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with in-text citations and corresponding references in APA format.

Please review the rubric to ensure that your response meets the criteria.

Estimated time to complete:  2 hours

Please respond to at least 2 of your peer’s posts with substantive comments using the following steps:

Construct a response to your peers commenting on the adequacy and accuracy of the elements of their SOAP note.  For example, if you note the presence of objective data in the ‘S’ or subjective data in the ‘O’ discuss this with your peers. 

For each colleague that you respond to list at least one subjective piece of data and/or one objective piece of data that supports the ‘A’ demonstrated in the note – or comment if there is no data/insufficient data to support the ‘A’.

Substantive comments add to the discussion and provide your fellow students with information that will enhance the learning environment.

References and citations should conform to APA standards.

Remember: Please respect the opinions of others, even if their views differ. In other words, disagree professionally and respectfully.

Plagiarism is never acceptable – give credit when credit is due - cite your sources.

Responses need to address all components of the question, demonstrate critical thinking and analysis and include peer-reviewed journal evidence to support the student’s position.
