Assignment 1: Practicum – Week 3 SOAP Note
In addition to journal entries, SOAP Note submissions are a way to reflect on your practicum experiences and connect these experiences to your classroom experience.
SOAP Notes, such as the ones required in this course, are often used in clinical settings to document patient care. Refer to this week’s Learning Resources for guidance
on writing SOAP Notes.
Select a geriatric patient that you examined during the last 3 weeks. The patient you select should be currently taking at least five prescription and/or over-the-counter
drugs. With this patient in mind, address the following in a SOAP Note:
Subjective: What was the patient’s subjective complaint? What details did the patient provide regarding his or her personal and medical history? Include a list of
prescription and over-the-counter drugs the patient is currently taking. Compare this list with the Beers Criteria and consider alternative drugs if appropriate.
Objective: What observations did you make during the physical assessment? What functional assessments were used?
Assessment: What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses. List them from top priority to least priority.
Plan: What was your plan for diagnostics and primary diagnosis? What was your plan for treatment and management including alternative therapies? What is your care
plan for the patient? How would you offer caregiver support?
Reflection notes: What would you do differently in a similar patient evaluation? How might you improve your assessment, diagnosis, and/or plan through interprofessional
collaboration?
Refer to this week’s Learning Resources for guidance on writing SOAP Notes.

Assignment 1: Application – PICO Analysis of Dementia, Delirium, and Depression
A PICO analysis is used to pose a focused clinical question to which you find appropriate evidence-based answers. The PICO question should include the patient or
population (P), anticipated intervention (I), comparison group or current standard (C), and outcome desired (O). In this Assignment, you develop a question related to
dementia, delirium, or depression. Through your PICO analysis, you explore various resources and examine current evidence to answer the question you develop.

Consider the resources you will use, search terms and criteria, and Boolean search strings as indicated in Part II: Search Strategy.
Using the Walden Library and other appropriate databases, locate five articles related to your PICO question. At least one article must be a systematic review. All of the
articles should be primary sources.
Reflect on the five articles you selected as indicated in Part III: Analysis of Literature. Consider the conceptual framework/theory, main finding, research method,
strengths of study, weaknesses, and level of evidence for each article.
Consider how to use the summaries in Part III to create an evidence table. Use this evidence table to determine appropriate treatment options for patients who present
with the disorder you selected as your topic.
To complete:
Formulate a question around the disorder you selected as indicated in Part I: PICO Analysis of Research Topic.
Identify the resources you will use, search terms and criteria, and Boolean search strings as indicated in Part II: Search Strategy.
Summarize the five articles you selected as indicated in Part III: Analysis of Literature. Describe the conceptual framework/theory, main finding, research method,
strengths of study, weaknesses, and level of evidence for each article.

Assignment 1: Application – Diagnosing and Treating Skin Wounds
Skin wounds are sometimes challenging for health care providers to diagnose and treat as many have similar presentations. For advanced practice nurses, being able to
identify various types of skin wounds, including whether a wound is a colonization or an infection, is critical because it impacts recommended patient care. In your role,
you must be able to evaluate skin wounds, determine the diagnosis, and develop an appropriate treatment and management plan according to current evidence-based
guidelines.
To prepare:
Review Chapter 45 of the Flaherty and Resnick text, as well as the Burr article in this week’s Learning Resources.
Consider how to properly diagnose skin wounds in frail elders, including how to distinguish between a colonization and infection.
Select a type of skin wound, such as bumps, bruises, shingles, herpes, bullous pemphigoid, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, etc. Research the guidelines for treatment of
the skin wound you selected. Reflect on how you would treat and/or dress this wound.
Think about factors that might contribute to the development of the skin wound you selected. Consider strategies for the prevention and improvement of this type of
wound.
To complete:
Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:
Explain how to properly diagnose skin wounds in frail elders, including how to distinguish between a colonization and infection.
Describe the type of skin wound you selected.
Explain how you would treat and/or dress this wound based on guidelines for treatment.
