What This Document Is
This is a Unit Seven Journal assignment, presented as a SOAP note (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan), completed by a student named India Beverly for the NP I - Primary Care of Women's Health (MN576) course at Purdue University Global. It represents a practice exercise in documenting a patient encounter focused on prenatal care.
Why This Document Matters

It’s used to demonstrate competency in gathering and recording patient information, a core skill for nurse practitioners. The SOAP note format is a standard method for organizing and communicating patient data in clinical settings.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This document is a student work and does not represent a complete or finalized patient care plan. It’s a learning tool and should not be used for actual medical decision-making. It reflects a single point in time and lacks the ongoing assessment and adjustments characteristic of real-world patient care.
What This Document Provides
The document includes a partially completed SOAP note detailing a new prenatal patient’s initial presentation. Specifically, it contains: subjective data gathered from the patient (chief complaint, history of present illness, medications, allergies, past medical history, family history, social history, and review of systems), and objective data from a physical exam (vital signs, general appearance, and findings from examinations of various body systems). The assessment and plan sections are not included in this preview.
