Visit the online library and research for current scholarly evidence  (no older than 5 years) to support your nursing actions. In addition,  consider visiting government sites such as the CDC, WHO, AHRQ, Healthy  People 2020. Provide a detailed scientific rationale justifying the  inclusion of this evidence in your plan.

Reflect on what you have learned about care plans through  independent research and peer discussions and incorporate the knowledge  that you have gained into your patient’s care plan.  If the information  is not in the provided scenario please consider it normal for SOAP note  purposes, if it is abnormal please utilize what you know about the  disease process and write what you would expect in the subjective and  objective areas of your note.
