Discussion part two:

Summarize the history and results of the physical exam for each patient in a SOAP note for each case study patient. List the primary diagnosis with ICD 10 code. Include your rationale for choosing the primary diagnosis. The diagnostic rationale in the assessment section should include your patients’ symptoms, exam findings and the interpretation of all presented lab findings. Include one evidence-based journal article or clinical guideline that supports your rationale for each patient. Develop a complete evidence-based treatment plan for each patient that includes medications, any additional diagnostic tests, patient education, possible referrals, and a plan for follow up with you, the PCP. Each step of the plan must include an EBP citation. The guidelines for SOAP note documentation is located under Course Resources and can assist you in writing this post and your SOAP note.
