Mixed Up Soap Note (20%, CO 1, 3/ MO 2)
The goal of this assignment is to introduce to the SOAP note format. A SOAP template has been provided below for your use. You will read the Mixed-up Soap Note Scenario. You will identify the Subjective components in the narrative. You will take that data that you’ve been given, and you will enter the data in the appropriate area on the Soap note, you will want to abbreviate the content and complete a Review of Systems. There is limited objective data. You will then contemplate the information that you’ve been given, and from this information, you will create a diagnosis and a plan. You will complete the SOAP note, and you can utilize the second document to present your rationales and research. What you will see is that you can do the majority of your Diagnosis with an excellent history. Focus your diagnoses on what you “see.” Often as a provider, you start your diagnoses based on a physical finding or a complaint and then you will fine tune it based on your examination or other tests. For example, a patient presents with a cough based on history; you may then determine the patient is having respiratory distress through observation, you will then continue to fine tune your diagnosis to Wheezing with your examination and then once you have finished you have narrowed it down to Mild intermittent Asthma with exacerbation. This process will start with a vague diagnosis and become more specific as you gather more specific data. MIXED UP SOAP NOTE – Nurs 5220 Advanced Health Assessment

A.J. is a 15-year-old female, student. A.J. participates competitively in Gymnastics. She recently (3 days ago) had an injury to her left leg when she landed in an awkward position with a dismount from the uneven bars. She has previously had an injury to her left knee, so the family put a brace on and started crutch use, but has not sought medical care. The family knew that they had this upcoming appointment, so they chose to wait to seek care. The left leg pain is isolated to the front lateral aspect of the left knee; It is not improved with their interventions, the mother states that she has given A.J. Motrin 600 mg 3-4 times a day since the injury. The injury is painful at night and worse when she is up at night with pain. A.J. states that she is having trouble bending her knee when the brace is off.

Muscle or tendon injury
Medial tibial stress syndrome
Stress fracture,
Exertional compartment syndrome
Nerve entrapment
For each of the following:
Medical Diagnosis: Muscle or tendon injury:
Pathophysiology
Muscle strain occurs from overstretched muscles and is common among sporting people. Symptoms include leg pain and mobility difficulties among others.
Muscle strains cause excessive fiber stretching due to exertion of tensile force at the muscle. The pathophysiological process is characterized by destruction, repair and remodeling. Destruction involves tearing and myofibrils necrosis, creation of hematoma and division of inflammatory cells (Bengtsson, Ekstrand, Waldén & Hägglund, 2017). Repair and remodeling phases involve necrotic tissue phagocytosis, myofibrils regeneration and concomitant development of connective scar tissue, neoformation of vessels and growth of neurons also occur (Hamilton et al., 2020) MIXED UP SOAP NOTE – Nurs 5220 Advanced Health Assessment
ICD 10 code: ICD-10-CM Code S86
Diagnosis 2: Medial tibial stress syndrome
Pathophysiology:
Clinical exercise induced pain caused by repetitive loading stress during running and jumping and triggered on palpation over a length of ≥5consecutive centimeters. It occurs along the posteromedial tibial border.
Foot inversion by dorsiflexes of the tibialis anterior is followed by extension of the great toe. Other toes extend causing pain and dysfuctions.
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S83.132A
Differential diagnosis, 3-5 Differentials
Stress fracture
Tiny cracks in bones caused by repetitive force, often from overuse — such as repeatedly jumping up and down or running long distances. Stress fractures can also develop from normal use of a bone that’s weakened by a condition such as osteoporosis.
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M84.35
Exertional compartment syndrome
It is associated with pain and pressure on the leg due to failure of muscle expansion on the affected tissues. It causes inflammation, pain and disability of arms and legs. It is nerve condition or exercise induced.
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M79.A22 (ICD10data, 2018).
Nerve entrapment
It is characterized by pain, tingling, numbness and muscle weakness. It is a medical condition resulting from direct exertion of pressure on the nerves (Black, Brindle & Honaker, 2016). Localized structural changes and microvascular function interferences cause dysfunction of peripheral-nerves (Kastenschmidt, Mannaa, Muñoz & Villalta, 2019).
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S84.02XD
Pertinent positives
muscle injury;
pain
Pertinent negatives
Broken bone
