ORDER HERE

• Choose one skin condition graphic (identify by number in your Chief Complaint) to document your assignment in the SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan) note format rather than the traditional narrative style. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and the Comprehensive SOAP Template in this week’s Learning Resources for guidance. Remember that not all comprehensive SOAP data are included in every patient case.
• Use clinical terminologies to explain the physical characteristics featured in the graphic. Formulate a differential diagnosis of five possible conditions for the skin graphic that you chose. Determine which is most likely to be the correct diagnosis and explain your reasoning using at least three different references, one reference from current evidence-based literature from your search and two different references from this week’s Learning Resources

Note : i will upload the picture of the skin and you will take the number 4 ( cellulitis )
I will upload the SOAP on blank and one with data that you can use as example. Please fill the note template with data that can correspond to a patient with cellulitis and you can fill the rest with normal finding. Skin Comprehensive SOAP Note Template Essay Discussion Paper
