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.
• Consider the abnormal physical characteristics you observe in the graphic you selected. How would you describe the characteristics using clinical terminologies?
• Formulate a differential diagnosis of three to 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 3 different references from current evidence based literature.
