Case Study Assignment should be in the Episodic/Focused SOAP Note format rather than the traditional narrative style format. Remember that all Episodic/Focused SOAP notes have specific data included in every patient case.

With regard to the case study you were assigned:
•
Review this week’s Learning Resources, and consider the insights they provide about the case study.

•
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?
