This assignment includes both the written SOAP note and the medication analysis presentation. Currently working on an Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner program and doing clinicals in a SNF/LTC setting.

The SOAP is a formal SOAP note with full history information as noted in the template provided. Please refer to the sample/template as an example of the level of documentation expected. This is NOT a copy of the clinic/office record, but an expanded note to demonstrate clinical reasoning skills. Each SOAP note should follow the template provided.

The SOAP should include a section of reflection titled Personal Progress Note answering the following questions:

1. What went well with this encounter?

2. What would you do differently if you could redo this encounter?

3. What else did you learn from this encounter?

4. What helped you prepare for this encounter?

MAP in PowerPoint: The student will populate the power point template provided on and address the questions accordingly. For this assignment patient must be taking AT LEAST 5 MEDICATIONS*(Prescription and/or over the counter). Students must integrate at least 3 peer-reviewed journal article references into their presentation and may utilize textbooks and drug references. The students optimization plans must integrate the information from the 3 peer-reviewed sources. Clinical practice guidelines (e.g., ADA guidelines for DM, JNC 8, etc.) are preferred; if a CPG is not available, use of the next highest possible level of evidence is advised.

Medication Analysis Presentations will first present the patient scenario in an abbreviated SOAP format presentation (much like a verbal SOAP) AND will address the following questions regarding their patients medication regimen:

1. Medication Overview in Table Format (see Power Point Template)
2. Identify the major Goals of Therapy/Care and list which medications are effective or ineffective for the patient*.
3. What safety issues related to the patients medications would the provider identify as being the most relevant at this visit? Include any potential adverse effects, current adverse effects and any drug-drug concerns found within the current medication list/regimen. (Note that omission of significant safety concerns may result in assignment failure (consider potential interactions, adverse effects, etc.)
4. How knowledgeable is the patient about his/her medications?
5. What additional medication education could support the patients adherence and/or empowerment?
6. Given the patients comorbidities and goals of care, are there any ways that his/her medication list could be optimized* (e.g., changes in dose, medication additions, medication removals, adjustments to time or manner of administration, etc.)?
7. *(Integrate at least 3 primary sources such as clinical practice guidelines or peer reviewed journal articles in your rationale)

References: (this list should include references from the grid and the analysis) Three primary sources are required in the section about optimizing the patients medication regimen. It is acceptable to re-use sources from the grid. Finally, a reference page must be completed in APA format with references from the grid and analysis.
