Choose one skin condition graphic (identify by number in your Chief Complaint)
to document your assignment in the SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and
Plan) note format, rather than the traditional narrative style. Refer to Chapter 2 of the
Sullivan text and the Comprehensive SOAP Template in this week's Learning
Resources for guidance. Remember that not all comprehensive SOAP data are
included in every patient case.
• Use clinical terminologies to explain the physical characteristics featured in the
graphic. Formulate a differential diagnosis of three to five possible conditions for the
skin graphic that you chose. Determine which is most likely to be the correct diagnosis
and explain your reasoning using at least 3 different references from current evidence
based literature.
