Assessment of the Skin, Hair, and Nails

The Lab Assignment

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 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 three different references, one reference from current evidence-based literature from your search and two different references from this week’s Learning Resources.

PowerPoint presentation

Create a PowerPoint presentation that addresses each of the following points/questions. Be sure to completely answer all the questions for each bullet point. Use clear headings that allow your professor to know which bullet you are addressing on the slides in your presentation. Support your content with at least three (3) outside sources and the textbook using APA citations throughout your presentation.

Follow best practices for PowerPoint presentations related to text size, color, images, effects, wordiness, and multimedia enhancements. Review the rubric criteria for this assignment.

This week you will create a two-part PowerPoint to discuss the following:

Part one: Peplau was the first nursing theorist to identify the nurse-patient relationship as central to all nursing care. Peplau valued knowledge, believing that the nurse must possess extensive knowledge about the potential problems that emerge during a nurse-patient interaction. Peplau’s theoretical work on the nurse-patient relationship continues to be essential to nursing practice.
Describe the phases of the Nurse-Patient relationship as defined by Peplau. Align your presentation regarding using Peplau’s theory with a current nursing practice example.

Part two: Provide a discussion of Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Theory. Identify and explain the three related parts. Identify a current nursing practice example where Orem’s theory would be relevant. Use at least one evidence-based research article to support your practice example.

Identify an teaching strategy to impact behavioral changes in diverse populations. Describe how this strategy impacts change. Provide an example of the strategy chosen.

Teaching Strategies to Impact Behavioral Changes in Diverse Populations

The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) prepared nurse will lead in challenging times. One of the important roles of the DNP is to educate patients, peers, and the healthcare community.

For this activity, the class will divide into three self-selected groups and develop a visual and auditory PowerPoint (PPT) presentation

Suggestion: Keep the same groups from the previous online activity

Identify an teaching strategy to impact behavioral changes in diverse populations (think of the clinical problem).

Describe how this strategy impacts change.

Provide an example of the strategy chosen.
