Written H&P Rubric :

The H&P Case Study must focus on a Primary Care patient (Make up a patient case). The case must include the following: a complete history about your patient’s background, a complete review of systems, and a complete physical exam.

Include THREE differential diagnoses. Write a diagnostic summary regarding how each diagnosis was ruled in/out based on the CC/HPI, PMH/PSH, ROS, PE and the most current evidence-based practice. A brief overview on the pathophysiology of each of the diagnoses should be included. Submit ONE current evidence-based protocol or national guideline to support the plan of care and ONE pertinent research study article (peer reviewed nursing or related discipline). Summarize the research article and protocol/guideline and discuss whether or not the plan of care for the patient followed the recommended protocol/guideline and the article, with an explanation of why/why not.  The plan of care must be based on standards of practice for nurse practitioners; current references (less than 5, within the past 5 years) must be cited in APA format and a reference list must be attached, as well as a copy of the research article and protocol/guideline. In addition, each student will answer any questions about the case study raised by faculty or fellow students.
