NSG 6435 Week 7 Discussion latest 2018
General Guidelines for Comprehensive Case Study – Week 7 Project
Your case study should not be just a SOAP note of a patient encounter—it should be a comprehensive evaluation of an iHuman patient case.
You will complete a Comprehensive SOAP note on the approved Pediatric SOAP Note template based on the findings of the iHuman case – then major research and discussion of the disease process are presented.
This case study should be a summative evaluation supported by a minimum of 5 evidence-based articles.
Evaluation of the case study should be no more than 3-4 substantive paragraphs. A minimum of five evidence-based sources (in addition to your text) should be used for your case study.
Course texts will not count as a scholarly source; if using data from websites you must go back to the literature source for the information-no secondary sources are allowed, ie, Medscape, UptoDate, etc.
This week, complete the iHuman case titled “Tommy Acker V3”.
Please submit your Comprehensive SOAP Note and Growth Chart in the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.
Name your SOAP note document SU_NSG6435_W7_A1_lastname_firstinitial.doc

The discussion assignment provides a forum for discussing relevant topics for this week on the basis of the course competencies covered.
For this assignment, make sure you post your initial response to the Discussion Area by the due date assigned.
To support your work, use your course and textbook readings and the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.
Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ initial postings. Participate in the discussion by asking a question, providing a statement of clarification, providing a point of view with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a relationship between two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Cite sources in your responses to your classmates. Complete your participation for this assignment by the end of the week.
Using your course and textbook readings and the South University Online Library, perform research on the following:
Assessment, diagnostic testing, and management of infectious conditions in a pediatric patient
Differential diagnoses for presentation of symptoms involving infectious diseases in pediatric patients
After completing your research, consider this scenario:
An eighteen-month-old child, well-known to your practice, presents with a seven-day history of fever ranging from 101 to 104.7 degrees Fahrenheit. On the fourth day of the fever, the emergency department had performed the following tests:
A blood and urine culture
A complete blood count
A comprehensive metabolic panel
The culture reports were found to be negative.
Today, the vitals of the child are the following:
Temperature: 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit
Heart rate: 120 beats/minute
Respiratory rate: 20 breaths/minute
Blood pressure: 90/40
Physical examination of the child indicates the following positive findings:
Injected conjunctiva
Palmar redness
Magenta-colored lips
Red macula
Excoriating rashes in the diaper area
On the basis of the above information, respond to the following:
What will be your differential diagnoses for this patient?
What specific physical exam findings support these differential diagnoses?
Of the differential diagnoses you listed, which would be the most concerning?
What additional diagnostic tests will you recommend? Why?
What would be your focus for caregiver education?

For this assignment, you will complete an iHuman case study based on the course objectives and weekly content. iHuman cases emphasize core learning objectives for an evidence-based primary care curriculum. Throughout your nurse practitioner program, you will use the iHuman case studies to promote the development of clinical reasoning through the use of ongoing assessments and diagnostic skills and to develop patient care plans that are grounded in the latest clinical guidelines and evidence-based practice.
The iHuman assignments are highly interactive and a dynamic way to enhance your learning. Material from the iHuman cases may be present in the quizzes, the midterm exam, and the final exam.
Click here for information on how to access and navigate iHuman.
This week, complete the iHuman case titled “Angela Cotez V3.1 PC”.
Apply information from the iHuman Case Study to answer the following questions:
Describe the evaluation tool and explain why this tool is essential in the care of the adolescent patient population.
Apply the findings of the scholarly research articles to the use of this evaluation tool and describe its validity and reliability.
Apply this evaluation tool to a patient situation and summarize your opinion of the results.
Describe a plan of care for the patient, depending upon the results.
