Clinical Reasoning and the Physical Assessment (graded)

Using course materials, textbooks, and the SOAP Note Format document provided in the Course Resource area of the course, choose a friend, colleague, or family member and perform a complete history on your “patient” that presents for a history and physical examination.  This is the kind of history you might obtain from a new patient, or during an annual well visit exam. You should devise a chief complaint so that you may document the OLDCART (HPI) data.  You must use the chief complaint of fatigue, fever, or muscles aches.

Share these findings in this discussion.
