Assignment Prompt

Select a client from your past or current FNP clinical rotations with an acute health problem or complaint which required at least two visits.

Based on this client's condition, conduct a literature search for two research articles that discuss various approaches to the treatment of this condition. Peer reviewed articles must address the standardized procedure or guidelines for this diagnosis. The research articles must be original research contributions (no review articles or meta-analysis) and must have been published within the last five years. Incorporate the research findings into the decision-making for this client's treatment.

Attach the initial visit/comprehensive SOAP note and follow-up visit /focused SOAP note as appendices. You may include SOAP notes that have already been submitted in your clinical courses. If you are at a clinical site that does not see follow-ups (Urgent Care, ER, minute-clinic, etc) you may create a fictitious follow-up SOAP note addressing the issue with attention to items you would need to assess in the history and physical during the visit. The discussion on relating research to practice should be approximately 3-4 pages and the total paper should be no longer than 10 pages, excluding references and appendices.
