You are to respond by composing a SOAP note. Write your SOAP note in layman’s terms, which means you will need to decipher the medical information in the progress note. You will need to include at least two items from each of the areas: History, Objective Findings, and Assessment.
In addition, you need to include a follow-up treatment plan after discharge to educate the patient on the diagnosis of toxic shock syndrome by explaining what toxic shock syndrome is, how she developed toxic shock syndrome , and how she can prevent getting toxic shock syndrome again.
