Week 3 – Case Study Discussion – Gynecologic Health

Complete the Gynecologic SOAP Note: (Attached)

ASSESSMENT:

Differential Diagnoses (list a minimum of 3 differential diagnoses). Your primary or presumptive diagnosis should be at the top of the list. For each diagnosis, provide supportive documentation with evidence-based guidelines. Explain what the DD is, use references to explain and tell how you ruled in or ruled out the DD. Include a reference citation for the DD.

Primary diagnosis: Bacterial Vaginosis

Differential diagnosis: Candidiasis and Chlamydia.

PLAN:

Includes documentation of diagnostics studies that will be obtained, referrals, therapeutic interventions (pharmacological & non-pharmacological), disposition/follow up instructions, and education. 

Each diagnosis or condition documented in the assessment should be addressed in the plan. The details of the plan should follow an orderly manner. Also included in this section is the reflection. The student should reflect on this case and discuss whether or not they agree with their preceptor’s treatment of the patient and why or why not. What did they learn from this case? What would they do differently?

Also include in your reflection a discussion related to health promotion and disease prevention, taking into consideration patient factors (e.g., age, ethnic group), PMH, and other risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic, cultural background).

References:

You are required to include at least three evidence-based, peer-reviewed journal articles or evidenced-based guidelines that relate to this case to support your diagnostics and differentials diagnoses. Be sure to use correct APA 7th edition formatting.
