Assignment: Focused SOAP Note for Schizophrenia Spectrum, Other Psychotic, and Medication-Induced Movement Disorders
For this Assignment, you will complete a focused SOAP note for a patient in a case study who has either a schizophrenia spectrum, other psychotic, or medication-induced movement disorder.
To Prepare
- Review this week’s Learning Resources. Consider the insights they provide about assessing, diagnosing, and treating schizophrenia spectrum, other psychotic, and medication-induced movement disorders.
- Review the Focused SOAP Note template, which you will use to complete this Assignment. There is also a Focused SOAP Note Exemplar provided as a guide for Assignment expectations.
- Review the video, Case Study: Sherman Tremaine. You will use this case as the basis of this Assignment. In this video, a Walden faculty member is assessing a mock patient. The patient will be represented onscreen as an avatar.
- Consider what history would be necessary to collect from this patient.
- Consider what interview questions you would need to ask this patient.
The Assignment
Develop a focused SOAP note, including your differential diagnosis and critical-thinking process to formulate a primary diagnosis. Incorporate the following into your responses in the template:
- Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?
- Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?
- Assessment: Discuss the patient’s mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses with supporting evidence, and list them in order from highest priority to lowest priority. Compare the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria for each differential diagnosis and explain what DSM-5-TR criteria rules out the differential diagnosis to find an accurate diagnosis. Explain the critical-thinking process that led you to the primary diagnosis you selected. Include pertinent positives and pertinent negatives for the specific patient case.
- Plan: What is your plan for psychotherapy? What is your plan for treatment and management, including alternative therapies? Include pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments, alternative therapies, and follow-up parameters, as well as a rationale for this treatment and management plan. Also incorporate one health promotion activity and one patient education strategy.
- Reflection notes: What would you do differently with this patient if you could conduct the session again? Discuss what your next intervention would be if you were able to follow up with this patient. Also include in your reflection a discussion related to legal/ethical considerations (demonstrate critical thinking beyond confidentiality and consent for treatment!), health promotion, and disease prevention, taking into consideration patient factors (such as age, ethnic group, etc.), PMH, and other risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic, cultural background, etc.).
- Provide at least three evidence-based, peer-reviewed journal articles or evidenced-based guidelines that relate to this case to support your diagnostics and differential diagnoses. Be sure they are current (no more than 5 years old).
Medication Review
Evaluate how missing components might have been addressed.
The the state of Texas
In the environmental health arena, a number of environmental principles or philosophies may guide the work of those who are charged with the creation of policy (including formal and informal policy actors, policy researchers, and policy analysts). In particular, you should be aware of the precautionary principle and be able to apply it in a number of contexts. This discussion is unique in that your Guided Response to your peers actually carries the greater points allocation than the initial posting.
In your initial post to this discussion, look online at credible sources for a local situation in which environmental policy has been overtly (openly) or covertly (behind the scenes) influenced by the precautionary principle. If you cannot find local examples after a diligent search, you may cast your search statewide. For help with identifying credible resources, review the What is CRAAP? (Links to an external site.) and Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) guides from the UAGC library. Once you identify a case, create a discussion post that briefly (approximately 100 words) summarizes the situation, including the details that led you to this conclusion, then give a link to the source. DO NOT specifically identify what you believe to be the precautionary principle indicators.
Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ posts and respond to a minimum of two of your peers. In your post, follow the link provided by your peer to the source document and identify the area(s) where you believe the precautionary principle comes into play. Identify as many of the four central components as you can, and describe which, if any, of the components are missing. Lastly, if any of the four central components are missing,
· Evaluate how that affected the actual outcome.
· Evaluate how missing components might have been addressed.
· Conjecture how the story might change if they had been correctly addressed.

What was the role of the Black Death in the decline of serfdom between the early 1300s and late 1400s?
Preliminary Annotated Bibliography
1.
List your primary sources for your topic (that is, sources written close to the time of what
you are studying) for this topic. Ideally about a third of your sources (at least three or four) will be primary sources.
2.List your secondary sources (late 20th -century or early 21st-century books or articles). At
least half of your secondary sources should be journal articles (such as you found in the
Database assignment) or works which look into the topic in similar detail and w
ith similar documentation of sources. You should have at least 6 or 7 secondary sources.
3.Try to avoid using tertiary (third-hand sources) such as textbooks and reference works. If
you feel the need to do so, note that these should be IN ADDITION to your
10 primary and secondary sources.
4.For each source in your Bibliography briefly indicate what the source will add to your understanding of the topic what biases or weaknesses might make it difficult to evaluate.
Thesis Statement
1.State the topic for your final paper. Be sure to be specific as to (a) time, (b) place, (c)
general topic. (For example, “The effects of the Black Death on the labor force in western Europe in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.”)
2. What scholarly problem surrounds the topic? That is, what do modern scholars
studying this topic disagree about among themselves? (For example, “Scholars disagree
About whether Black Death caused significant economic change in the long run.”)
3. Give at least two views reached by modern scholars (secondary sources)
on this issue. (For example, “At one time, historians wrote as if the Black Death was
Largely responsible for European changes in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. More recently, some historians have revised this view to suggest that the economy was already changing before the Black Death. They note that towns had been growing and serfdom declining before the Black Death, and that the economy rebounded fairly quickly immediately after the first outbreak in 1348.”)
4. Based on the debate in #2-3, what question do you hope to answer about the topic?
(For example, “What was the role of the Black Death in the decline of serfdom between the early 1300s and late 1400s?”)
5.Sum up your answer to this question in one complete sentence. (For example,
“Although the Black Death was not the only crisis affecting the European population, its
initial severity and regular recurrences (every couple of decades) increased the pace of
change in the labor market in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.”)
What challenges are present in the scenario, and what are some steps that can be taken to address them?
Scenario 1: One of the physicians on staff is telling you about a study that he is doing on his patients. He hopes to have the study published and to receive a grant to expand his research. He offers to hire you to help him with the data collection during your off hours. You accept and begin helping him. You start collecting data. When you access the file the next day, you realize that he has removed a number of patients from the study. You suspect that they were removed intentionally, but you cannot be sure. You put your suspicions aside and proceed with your work and add more patients to the database. A few days later, more patients have been removed from the database. When you do some investigation, you discover that the patients who were removed were sicker and/or had a poor outcome. This is a problem and may prevent the rewarding of the grant money to this project.
Scenario 2: You are traveling with your work laptop to a conference and leave it for five minutes at the airport terminal as you go to the bathroom. You asked your colleague to keep an eye on it, but when you return, your colleague has boarded the plane and taken your belongings. As you look through, you realize your laptop is missing. When you confront your colleague, she says it was just there a moment ago and she is certain she brought it on board with her. Your laptop contains secure information regarding your organization and has remote access to your clinical information system. The policy at your organization for a data breach is to call tech support immediately and report the breach. You think it may just be misplaced and begin looking.
Choose one of the scenarios above and answer the following:
- What challenges are present in the scenario, and what are some steps that can be taken to address them?
- What is the relationship between ethics and policy? Do they always match up with one another?
- If individual ethics do not align with organizational policy, what might be the end result?
Support your answer with relevant resources.
