The goal of this assignment is to introduce the SOAP note format. A SOAP template has been provided below for your use. You will read the Mixed-up Soap Note Scenario. You will identify the Subjective components in the narrative. You will take that data that you’ve been given, and you will enter the data in the appropriate area on the Soap note, you will want to abbreviate the content and complete a Review of Systems.
There is limited objective data (so those objective date areas of the SOAP will be blank).
You will then contemplate the information that you’ve been given, and from this information, you will create a diagnosis and a plan (80% of your visit diagnosis will come from your history). You will complete the SOAP note sections with an ICD 10, Diagnosis with Differentials, Plan, patho, and rationale.
What you will see is that you can do the majority of your Diagnosis with an excellent history. Focus your diagnoses on what you see. Often as a provider, you start your diagnoses based on a physical finding or a complaint, and then you will fine-tune it based on your examination or other tests. For example, a patient presents with a cough based on history; you may then determine the patient is having respiratory distress through observation, you will then continue to fine-tune your diagnosis to Wheezing with your examination, and then once you have finished you have narrowed it down to Mild intermittent Asthma with exacerbation. This process will start with a vague diagnosis and become more specific as you gather more specific data.
Subtitle or Section:
Read the rest of the case study below and then complete the blank Soap Note attached to the scenario.
Use only the information provided.
Decide what is pertinent and then place the components in the correct sections of subjective and objective components
Use appropriate abbreviations and concise terminology if appropriate
If you are lacking pertinent information supply the questions that you would ask the patient (pretend you are completing the visit, how would you phrase the questions)

What type of history will you obtain for this visit? (the SOAP note Template is a Template used in multiple courses, some of the boxes may not be applicable to your assignment)
What additional history would you obtain from the family that is significant to the situation? Use italics or colored font to add questions in the SOAP. Present the Questions as you would pose them to the patient
