Medical Terminology Mod 2 Course Project

In this course project assignment, you are presented with clinical notes for two different patients. These progress notes have been recorded as SOAP notes. A SOAP note is a common method of documenting a patient’s visit with a healthcare provider. These notes are saved in a patient’s medical record and will be used for treatment, billing, and other activities to monitor the patient’s health over time.

SOAP is an acronym that stands for Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan. Each of these components is used to record a vital part of the patient’s visit.

  • Subjective: Includes the patient’s complaints and states the patient’s symptoms in his or her own words
  • Objective: Includes information that the provider can measure, such as vital signs, weight, or findings from a physical exam
  • Assessment: Includes a differential diagnosis or summary of signs and symptoms
  • Plan: Includes treatments performed, follow-up appointment information, referrals, or other orders

You will be exploring the medical terminology used in these SOAP notes and will be asked to interpret the meanings of various words and abbreviations.

  1. Download the clinical notes for the two patients:

 DIS 3

Topic 1  Because of the pain medication, Gladys Gwynn may not be able to speak for herself. Since she has no relatives to help, is it appropriate for Dr. Johnstone to make the decision about surgery for her? Under the circumstances, is it possible that when Gladys moved into Sunny Meadows they had her sign a Health Care Power of Attorney to someone at the facility?

Topic 2  Because the accident happened when Sheri Smith was helping Mrs. Gwynn, do you think Sheri should be held responsible for the accident? Given that Sheri is an employee of Sunny Meadows, should that facility be held responsible?

Topic 3  The recovery time for internal fixation surgery is shorter than that following a total hip replacement. The surgery is also less expensive and has a less strenuous recovery period; however, Mrs. Gwynn probably will not be able to walk again. Given the patient’s condition, and the limited dollars available for health care, which procedure should be performed?

Topic 4  Would you have answered Question 3 differently if Mrs. Gwynn were your mother?
