1.1 Discussion: Writing a Case Study<\/p>\n
Getting Started<\/p>\n
This discussion is designed to guide you through the process of preparing a case evaluation using the SOAP format.\u00a0 The activities in this forum will form the framework for all the case studies that will be graded each week and many of the discussion topics.<\/p>\n
Upon successful completion of the course material, you will be able to:<\/p>\n
Start thinking about medications as a prescriber as opposed to a nurse.<\/p>\n
Confidently complete case studies in subsequent workshops.<\/p>\n
Resources<\/p>\n
Textbook:\u00a0Pharmacotherapeutics for Advanced Practice Nurses and Physicians\u00a0Assistants<\/p>\n
Lexi-Comp (available via Up-to-Date) or other suitable drug\/disease reference.<\/p>\n
Suggested treatment guidelines\/recommendations for this workshop<\/p>\n
Workshop One Case Study<\/p>\n
Background Information<\/p>\n
This activity is broken down into three separate parts:\u00a0 identifying problems, supporting problems with subjective\/objective (S\/O) information, and planning a course of care (A\/P).\u00a0 Your post should include all three elements to receive full credit.<\/p>\n
Writing a Case Study: Part One\u2014Identifying Problems<\/p>\n
In analyzing your patients that are presented in this class, we will use the problem-oriented approach.\u00a0 The first step is to create a problem list.\u00a0 Problems may be a patient concern, a healthcare professional’s concern, or both.\u00a0 Not all problems are diagnoses. Also, not all items listed in the past medical history need to be addressed as current problems. \u00a0 Problems may be symptoms, abnormal laboratory results, compliance issues, and so on. The problem list may include only one problem, or it may include ten or more.\u00a0Every patient is different.\u00a0Each student should try to identify\u00a0ONE\u00a0unique problem with patient HG in the\u00a0case study\u00a0provided.\u00a0 Although some problems will likely be duplicated, please try to cover all problems.<\/p>\n
Instructions<\/p>\n
Review the rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning your grade.<\/p>\n
Navigate to the\u00a0Writing a Case Study\u00a0threaded discussion below and make an initial posting by the end of day five of this workshop.\u00a0 If there are no other problems to identify, select a problem that is already completed, but try to identify an alternate therapy.\u00a0 For this assignment, grading will focus on your ability to include all the necessary information as opposed to selecting the “best” therapeutic option.\u00a0 For case studies in future workshops, more emphasis will be placed on appropriate medication selection.<\/p>\n
The format that you choose to present your information is completely up to you.\u00a0 One that has suited many students well is the chart format, which might look something like the example below.<\/p>\n
Initial posts are due by the end of day five of the workshop. Respond to at least one of your peer’s postings by the end of day seven of this workshop.<\/p>\n
