Discussion BoardsLet us practice again using your new vocabulary to create a SOAP note in a patient chart. SOAP is an acronym that stands for Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan. You will be only using the first two letters, S and O. The subjective is the signs and symptoms that the patient will give you, such as: “I am having pain when urinating” and “I get up many times during the night to urinate” and “my urine is brown.”The objective is what you observe, such as: Temperature: 98.6, Pulse: 62, Respiration: 16, Weight: 155, Height 5’ 5”.  Using either or both chapters (6 and/or 7) create a SOAP note using five medical words discussed in this week’s reading.Your classmates will translate your medical terms into laymen’s terms – you can help them as they try.Example:

06/01/09: Pt states having urinary retention during the day and nocturia intermittently X (2) wkly. Previous renal calculus 2 yrs ago and previous UTI 6 mos ago. Vasectomy performed 6 yrs ago with no follow-up visit.  T: 99.8, P: 64, R: 16, W: 162, H: 5’ 9” Pt is alert and responsive--------------------CH, CMA (AAMA)
