FIND ONE (1) QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH ARTICLE

WRITE A FOUR PARAGRAPH SYNTHESIS OF THE ARTICLE (4 SENTENCES PER PARAGRAPH!)

PARAGRAPH 1: WHAT WAS THE ISSUE OR PROBLEM?

PARAGRAPH 2: WHAT DID THE RESEARCHERS DO? (I.E. WHAT QUANTITATIVE METHODS DID THEY EMPLOY?)

PARAGRAPH 3: WHAT DID THEY FIND? OR WHAT WERE THEIR RESULTS?

PARAGRAPH 4: WHAT DOES THIS MEANT TO NURSING

Please make a soap note based on a pediatric problem focused visit

Over the course of the semester you will choose 6 patient encounters to document a clinical diagnostic reasoning SOAP note for.

It is expected that you vary the primary focus of each note to ensure you are receiving quality feedback for several types of patient encounters to include acute, chronic and wellness encounters. You are not to utilize the same type of encounter, acute/chronic health condition or wellness exam, more than once unless you have received approval to do so from your clinical faculty person.

Each SOAP note carries a 60-point value.

SOAP notes will be evaluated using a standardized rubric. Please review the evaluation criterion to ensure that your SOAP notes are constructed to address the required elements and desired level of achievement.

For planned weekly clinical experiences submission of the 6 SOAP notes would be accomplished by submitting one SOAP note bi-weekly for weeks 3 through week 13.

Objective

Identify appropriate expected outcomes for your project.

Identify the strategies to implement your project.

Deliverables

Write a 3-4 page (not including the title and reference pages).

APA formatted paper with an introduction and conclusion.

APA headings for each section of the paper.

At least 5 peer-reviewed references.

Step 1: Capstone Project

Please make a soap note on a women’s health focused issue

Over the course of the semester you will choose 6 patient encounters to document a clinical diagnostic reasoning SOAP note for.

It is expected that you vary the primary focus of each note to ensure you are receiving quality feedback for several types of patient encounters to include acute, chronic and wellness encounters. You are not to utilize the same type of encounter, acute/chronic health condition or wellness exam, more than once unless you have received approval to do so from your clinical faculty person.

Each SOAP note carries a 60-point value.

SOAP notes will be evaluated using a standardized rubric. Please review the evaluation criterion to ensure that your SOAP notes are constructed to address the required elements and desired level of achievement.

For planned weekly clinical experiences submission of the 6 SOAP notes would be accomplished by submitting one SOAP note bi-weekly for weeks 3 through week 13.

For planned and instructor-approved condensed, compressed or alternate clinical schedules, the timing of the submission of the 6 SOAP notes will be dependent on the approved clinical schedule. Your clinical faculty will give you a new SOAP note assignment schedule and your grade will remain a ‘0’ in the Grade Center as a placeholder until you have submitted the required assignment according to your instructor-assigned due date. This only applies to approved alternate schedules in communication with faculty. If students are not on an approved altered clinical schedule, students MUST submit SOAP notes according to the mandated due date or the grade will remain a ‘0.’

Preparing the Collaboration Caf Follow these guidelines when completing each component of the Collaboration Caf. Contact your course faculty if you have questions. Include the following sections: Application of Course Knowledge: Answer all questions/criteria with explanations and detail. Look back at your initial post and respond to peers and faculty that have commented. Reflect on your learning experience in this course. Which concepts stood out to you and made an impact? How do you envision using these concepts in your future nursing practice as a masters prepared nurse? Describe how course learning activities and assignments will help you achieve Program Outcome 1: Provide high-quality, safe, patient-centered care grounded in holistic health principles. Describe how course assignments or activities will help you achieve ONE of the sub-competencies from the advanced-level nursing education competencies from AACN Essentials Competency 1.3 Demonstrate clinical judgment founded on a broad knowledge base. 1.3d Integrate foundational and advanced specialty knowledge into clinical reasoning. 1.3e Synthesize current and emerging evidence to influence practice. 1.3f Analyze decision models from nursing and other knowledge domains to improve clinical judgment.
