Copy-paste from websites or textbooks will not be accepted or tolerated and will receive a grade of 0 (zero) with no resubmissions allowed. Please see College Handbook regarding Academic Misconduct Statement.

Must use the sample templates for your soap note. Keep this template for when you start clinicals. The use of templates is okay with regards to Turn it in, but the Patient History, CC, HPI, Assessment, and Plan should be of your own work and individualized to your made-up patient. Please see attached the sample to do it.

Paper For Above instruction

The purpose of a comprehensive adult wellness check-up is to assess the overall health status of the individual and to identify any risk factors that could impact their well-being. An effective SOAP note documentation ensures accurate communication among healthcare providers, facilitates proper assessment and planning, and supports patient-centered care (Baldwin & Plumlee, 2017). This paper illustrates a detailed SOAP note for a hypothetical adult patient undergoing a routine wellness assessment, fulfilling academic requirements, and adhering to the specified rubric and formatting instructions.

Subjective

Chief Complaint (CC): “Just here for my annual check-up.” The patient, a 45-year-old male, reports feeling generally healthy with no specific complaints. He mentions occasional mild fatigue and occasional headaches but attributes these to work-related stress. No history of chest pain, shortness of breath, or gastrointestinal disturbances. The patient denies recent illnesses, surgeries, or hospitalizations.

History of Present Illness (HPI): The patient describes the fatigue as intermittent, occurring mostly in the late afternoon, improved with rest. Headaches are described as mild, throbbing, located around the temples, often in the mornings. No dizziness or visual disturbances are noted. The patient reports maintaining a balanced diet, exercising three times per week, and abstains from smoking; occasional alcohol use. No recent travel or exposure to infectious illnesses.

Objective

Vital signs: Blood Pressure 122/78 mmHg, Heart Rate 72 bpm, Respiratory Rate 16/min, Temperature 98.6°F, BMI 24.5 kg/m². Physical examination reveals no abnormalities. Cardiovascular and respiratory exams are normal. Abdomen soft, non-tender, no hepatosplenomegaly. Neurological assessment is within normal limits. Skin is clear, and ENT examination shows no issues.

Assessment

This 45-year-old adult male presents for routine annual wellness examination with no significant acute complaints. The findings suggest a generally healthy individual with mild, non-specific symptoms possibly related to stress or lifestyle factors. Differential diagnoses for fatigue and headaches include stress-related tension headaches, dehydration, or low-grade anemia; however, physical exam and history do not support significant pathology at this time.

Plan

• Laboratory tests: Complete blood count (CBC), fasting blood glucose, lipid profile to assess cardiovascular risk.
• Health promotion: Emphasize the importance of regular exercise, balanced diet, adequate sleep, and stress management techniques.
• Preventive care: Recommend age-appropriate immunizations including influenza, Tdap, and pneumococcal vaccines as per CDC guidelines.
• Screenings: Schedule screening mammogram for women over 40, colonoscopy as indicated based on family history. For this male patient, discuss prostate health screening options.
• Patient education: Discuss maintaining hydration, managing stress, and recognizing warning signs for emergent conditions.
• Follow-up: Return visit in one year for routine check-up, or sooner if symptoms worsen or new issues develop.

The above SOAP note exemplifies a comprehensive approach for adult wellness assessment, indicating individualized patient information, detailed clinical findings, and personalized care plan consistent with best practices and scholarly standards. Proper documentation using the SOAP format enhances clinical communication and supports ongoing management, improved health outcomes, and patient engagement.
