Complete the SOAP documentation.
Describe 3 of the most plausible differential diagnosis. Rule-in and Rule-out each diagnosis.  Example: If a patient presents with a painful knee and your top differentials are osteoarthritis, ACL, and Fracture, you would find peer-reviewed Evidence to prove that each of those are possible diagnosis.  For osteoarthritis: Rule in:  What signs and symptoms match what the patient has.  Give the evidence (from peer reviewed based information) to show that the symptoms match.  Then rule out: What is lacking to show this is the actual diagnosis?  You must demonstrate your thoughts with peer reviewed evidence.
