To prepare:

 

•Review the Skin Conditions document provided in this week’s Learning Resources, and select two conditions to closely examine for this Discussion.

 

•Consider the abnormal physical characteristics you observe in the graphics you selected. How would you describe the characteristics using clinical terminologies?

 

•Explore different conditions that could be the cause of the skin abnormalities in the graphics you selected.

 

•Consider which of the conditions is most likely to be the correct diagnosis, and why.

 

IMPORTANT  NOTE: Your Discussion post should be in the SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan) note format, rather than the traditional narrative style Discussion posting format. . Remember that not all comprehensive SOAP data are included in every patient case.

 

POST 1 TO 2 PAGE DISCUSSION PAPER ON : A description of the two graphics you selected (identify each graphic by number). Use clinical terminologies to explain the physical characteristics featured in each graphic. Formulate a differential diagnosis of three to five possible conditions for each. Determine which is most likely to be the correct diagnosis, and explain your reasoning.
