Presumptive Diagnosis o         1- Herpes zoster without mention of complication (053.9)
 
 

Plan/Therapeutics

                        o    Plan:
§  Diagnois: Herpes zoster without mention of complication (053.9)
§  Further testing: None
§  Medication:  Valtrex 1000 mg PO q8h X 7 days
§  Education: Continue using Tylenol 650 mg PO to manage pain. Limit Tylenol to less than 4 g per day. May also place a cool compress to area to ease pain. Vesicles may burst and then crust over. Thepain should ease within two to three days. It may take up to six weeks for the raash to completely heal. Monitor for s/s of infection (increased redness, fever, pain, or purulent, fould smelling drainage). Advise that a person sho has never had chicken pox may contract chicken pos by exposure to the shingles rash. Avoid contact with infants, children, pregnant women, and adults who have never had chicken pox, until blisters are completely dry. It is also important to avoid people with weakened immune systems. It is possible to have shingles flair up again in the future. Stress and a lowered immune system may precipitate a flair up. You can protect your immune system with a healthy lifestyle, and keeping your stress at manageable levels can reduce your chances of getting shingles and other

illnesses.
§  Non-medication treatments: Maintain adequate hydratin b continuing to drink 68 glasses of water a day. Continue participating in workout regimen.
§  Return to clinic: RTC in one week if pain persists or s/s of infection occur. Overwise, PRN.

Please note that your SOAP note has several areas that have required information.  The HPI is one of them.  The HPI must include:
History of Present Illness:  “O-P-Q-R-S-T” questions
Onset and circumstances of Occurrence of symptom(s)
Provocative and Palliative factors
Quality and/or Quantity of symptom
Region of body andRadiation to other areas
Severity of symptom (0 to 10 scale, if applicable) and associated Symptoms
Time (duration) and Temporal associations (what is going on when symptom occurs
In addition, “normal” is not acceptable you must describe what you are seeing.  I know that normal is used in charting–but you are learning and so you are required to do the ideal and the ideal is describing what you see and completing a total ROS on every patient.

Diagnosis: Hernia inguinal K40 (“ICD-10 Code Lookup”, 2016) Evidenced by Inguinal or scrotal nonreducible mass with severe pain, vomiting, and constipation and scrotal ultrasound result (Fischbach & Dunning, 2014). Differential diagnosis Testicular torsion: sudden onset of pain which is exquisite tenderness; and a high-riding, horizontally displaced testis (Goolsby & Grubbs, 2015). Epididymitis: fever, Swelling and tenderness of the scrotum (usually located on one side), patient may get relief with elevation of scrotum, which is positive Prehn’s sign. The other symptoms include urethral discharge, dysuria, hematuria (Cash, 2014) Kidney Stone: Add Ct scan to determine the stone size, if the test of urine positive for renal calculi. Treatment of kidney stone includes: pain management such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), Zofran 4mg every 6 hours as needed for controlling nausea/vomiting, helping with passing the stone by using Tamsulosin (Flomax) 0.4mg daily to ease urination (Buttaro, Trybulski & Bailey, 2013). Jack Baldwin VE iHuman Episodic SOAP Note and Differential Diagnoses Examples Plan of Care: Cancer-screening modalities for gender/age: prostate exam (Buttaro, Trybulski & Bailey, 2013). Recommend smoking cessation – patient not ready (Buttaro, Trybulski & Bailey, 2013). Fitness: encouraging increasing exercise (Buttaro, Trybulski & Bailey, 2013). Nutrition: recommending better choices when eats out (Buttaro, Trybulski & Bailey, 2013). Truss can be used to groin hernias. Educate patient to avoid heavy lifting, and gently reduce a groin hernia when the individual lies supine with hips flexed to relax the abdominal muscles (Cash, 2014). Surgery is an effective treatment, laparoscopy or through an open procedure or mesh repair depending the size of the hernia, and the onset of strangulation. It should be surgical intervention if patient get strangulated hernias (Cash, 2014). Schedule the patient to return to the office if fever, severe pain, or strangulation happens. Postoperative evaluation for hernia recurrences as needed (Cash, 2014).     References Buttaro, T., Trybulski, J., Bailey,P., & Sandberg-Cook, J. (2013).
