Assessment

My differentials include acute viral rhinopharyngitis. strep throat, allergic rhinitis, acute otitis media, allergies and asthma

My differentials include cold, strep throat, rhinitis, allergies and asthma based on abnormal findings affecting the ears, upper respiratory tract and lymphatic region.

Plan

Danny will receive a strep throat culture to rule out strep throat.

10 day dose of antibiotics for treatment of acute otitis media.

Refer for allergy tesing and pulmonary function test.

Encourage Danny to increase intake of water and other fluids and educate on frequent handwashing.

Recommend antitussive treatment at night to help with his sleep.

Danny should be referred for an allergy test to rule out allergies as well as a lung function test to rule out asthma. He should receive a strep culture to rule out strep throat. I recommend antitussive treatment at night to help with his sleep in addition to bed rest.

Comments

Rebecca Hall (14 Oct 2019, 10:17 AM CDT): Great interview, very thorough and flowed well. Documentation-you did a great job on your documentation-only comment I have is to include right and left on the exam-document negative findings for left ear and neck as well as pertinent negatives for all systems examined-I know Shadow does not do this but I want you to. include supporting positive or negatives for your differential diagnoses If you have not done so I highly recommend you view the recording of the soap documentation conference. There is much information on accurate and appropriate soap
