Discussion: Unit 2, Due Wednesday by 11:59 pm CT
New Patient Encounter
Instructions:
It is anticipated that the initial discussion post should be in
the range of 250-300 words. Response posts to peers have no minimum word
requirement but must demonstrate topic knowledge and scholarly engagement with
peers. Substantive content is imperative for all posts. All discussion prompt
elements for the topic must be addressed. Please proofread your response
carefully for grammar and spelling. Do not upload any attachments unless
specified in the instructions. All posts should be supported by a minimum of
one scholarly resource, ideally within the last 5 years. Journals and websites
must be cited appropriately. Citations and references must adhere to APA
format.
Classroom Participation:
Students are expected to address the initial discussion question
by Wednesday of each week. Participation in the discussion forum requires a
minimum of three (3) substantive postings (this includes your initial post and
posting to two peers) on three (3) different days. Substantive means that you
add something new to the discussion supported with citation(s) and
reference(s), you are not just agreeing. This is also a time to ask questions
or offer information surrounding the topic addressed by your peers. Personal
experience is appropriate for a substantive discussion, however, should be
correlated to the literature.
All discussion boards will be evaluated utilizing rubric
criteria inclusive of content, analysis, collaboration, writing, and APA. If
you fail to post an initial discussion or initial discussion is late, you will
not receive points for content and analysis, you may however post to your peers
for partial credit following the guidelines above.

Review the SOAP note accessed through this link. For

points for a) diagnoses/management options, b) amount/complexity of data
reviewed, and c) level of risk for complications, morbidity, mortality
