A SOAP note is a standardized format for clinical documentation that ensures clear, organized, and concise communication between healthcare
providers. It stands for:
S (Subjective): The patient's reported symptoms, medical history, and relevant information from their perspective.
O (Objective): Measurable data including vital signs, physical exam findings, and diagnostic test results.
A (Assessment): The clinician’s analysis of the patient’s condition, including differential diagnoses and final diagnosis.
P (Plan): The treatment and management plan, including medications, follow-up, and patient education.
SOAP notes are an essential component of clinical practice, promoting accurate documentation, continuity of care, and critical thinking. This
assignment will help you refine your clinical reasoning and documentation skills during your clinical rotation.

At the end of each clinical rotation, the preceptor will complete an evaluation of the FNP student, assessing clinical skills, professionalism,
communication, and overall competency. The Department of Nursing (DON) will email the evaluation to the preceptor, who must complete it before
the student receives credit for the rotation. Students will be notified once the evaluation is submitted and are encouraged to emphasize to their preceptor the importance of timely completion.
