Quiz 5 Flashcards
SOAP Method
subjective
objective
assessment
plan
subjective
client observations
opinions, concerns, requests
what their impressions are
objective
relevant history
physical exam
just facts, put down what you find
assessment
differential diagnosis (at least 5)
interpret results
plan
actions (tests) and activities (treatments)
diet, fluids, follow up care
when to come back for recheck/ progress assessment
problem-oriented approach
structural way of evaluating animals
POMR
problem-oriented medical record
encourages sound logic to evaluate patients
POA
problem oriented approach
diseases alters anatomy/physiology of animal to cause clinical signs (“problems”)
identify problems to determine why they are occurring
perform rule outs
only necessary diagnostic tests performed to eliminate the rule outs
4 steps to POA
data base collection
problem identification
plan formulation
assessment and follow up
DAMNIT-V
Degenerative
Anomaly
Metabolic
neoplastic; nutritional
inflammatory; infections; immune related
trauma; toxicity
vascular
data base collection
identify all problems will necessary information
A. complete history
most important procedure to allow correct medical problem solving
determine chief complaint
techniques of history taken
B. physical exam-takes 5-8 min
most important part of data base
diagnostic tests used to clarify P.E and move forward, use lab tests in conjuction
profile, cbc, urinalysis gives a lot of useful info
problem identification
report what you find
number problems consecutively (MPL)
problem
any abnormality requiring medical/surgical management or that interferes with quality of life
MPL
master problem list
table of contents, on front of medical chart
plan formation
problems identified, MPL is done, devise a plan
3 different components, use plan to treat the problem
diagnostic plan
formulated and written for each problem
prioritize MPL, worst problems to top
rule outs listed under each problem
diagnostic tests chosen to eliminate rule out
therapeutic plan
therapy must be initiated to resolve identified problems
as much time spent evaluating treatment as in diagnosing the underlying disease
client/ owner education
as important/ more important than what you do for the animal
give clients info about animals problems, general condition, treatment, diagnosis and prognosis
assessment/ follow up
logical approach to interpretation of other 3 steps
through written form addressing each specific problem
pyrexia
fever/ elevation of body temperature
pathologic or physiologic
normal temp from 101-102
intermittent
temp falls to normal and rises each day
remittent
temp varies but always is high
relapsing
high one day, normal >1 day then repeats
septic
large variations in temp during the day
hypothalamus is
thermoregulatory center
heat is primarily generated by
liver’s oxidation of nutrients
the muscles exercise (physical activity)
heat is dissipated through the body via
radiation
vaporization=panting
convection= transfer of energy through the skin (not common)
