Common Gynecologic Conditions (Coursework Sample)

COMMON GYNECOLOGIC CONDITIONS, PART 2
Case studies provide the opportunity to simulate realistic scenarios involving patients presenting with various health problems or symptoms. Such case studies enable nurse learners to apply concepts, lessons, and critical thinking to interviewing, screening, diagnostic approaches, as well as to the development of treatment plans.
For this Case Study Discussion, you will develop a case study that demonstrates a gynecological disease process from your practicum experience or your professional practice that would be quite challenging for you as a clinician. You will then explor this case study to determine the diagnosis, diagnostic tests, and treatment options for the patient

 Review the Learning Resources for this week and specifically review the clinical guideline resources specific to your proposed case study.
 Use the Focused SOAP Note Template found in the Learning Resources to support your discussion. Complete a Focused SOAP note and critically analyze this and focus your attention on the diagnostic tests.
