MSE:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two approaches were made where the child was observed in various settings and secondly during the interview session. The History given by the father about the child\u2019s symptoms helped the clinician to set up the clinical situations for assessment. While in the waiting area, the child could be heard talking; she was shouting or making sounds loudly as she moved chairs while running to and fro. Efforts by the father to make BK remain still and be quiet were fruitless. She only stopped momentarily. When both were invited into the interview room, the child rushes in and appears to have difficulties waiting or keeping behind. (Comprehensive ADHD sOAP note-nursing paper example)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once in the room, she jumps into a chair while in its twists, turns, wiggles, and slides both forward and backwards. When the father is asked a question, BK replies before him. She responds to questions about school before the questions are complete. She frequently interrupted the father when it was his turn to respond to questions. (Comprehensive ADHD sOAP note-nursing paper example)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After some minutes, the child\u2019s fear of the clinical setting disappears, and she quickly appeared bored. As time progressed, the child began to lose interest and became inattentive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Father has the capacity to articulate needs, is motivated for compliance and adherence to the medication regimen. The parent is also willing to involve his wife and participate in behavioral therapy treatment, disposition, and care planning. (Comprehensive ADHD sOAP note-nursing paper example)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   Assessment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

DSM5 Diagnosis: with ICD-10 codes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dx: 1-    ADHD, combined type (F90.2<\/strong>)- Confirmed <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The child was diagnosed with ADHD because upon assessment for hyperactivity and impulsivity, and she should be heard and seen talking, shouting, and making sounds loudly. Her moving chairs and running to and from were persistent despite her father insisting she remains still and be quiet. Impulsivity was evident as the child had challenges waiting for her turn (Belanger et al., 2018). While it is more difficult to assess for the inattentiveness, the child seemed to lose interest with the interview questions within 20 minutes into the interview session, although she kept interrupting her father sometimes throughout the interview. The physical exam and lab results helped to rule out organic or physiological causes for any of the symptoms she exhibited. (Comprehensive ADHD sOAP note-nursing paper example)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dx2: – Social Anxiety Disorder (DSM-5 Code of 300.23(F40.10)- Refuted<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Symptoms of ADHD<\/a> may overlap with those of SAD. Some of the manifestations of SAD are increased anxiety if the child is separated from a parent and maybe accompanied with panic experience reaction like shaking, sweating or shortness of breath (Vallance & Fernandez, 2016). The pediatric patient did not exhibit any of these symptoms or even tantrums and crying; hence it was considered highly unlikely. (Comprehensive ADHD sOAP note-nursing paper example)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dx3: – Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) \u2013F84.0 \u2013Refuted <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASD is a condition that affects the development of the brain in childhood, as does ADHD. Children with either or both conditions can focus on one thing, but the presence of ASD is identifiable in that the child tends to avoid eye contact and may not want to play with other children (Parmeggiani et al., 2016). Other symptoms that helped rule out ASD id that according to the Chief Informant(father), BK had not experienced difficulties is any development milestone speech inclusive. As such, this disorder was also refuted. (Comprehensive ADHD sOAP note-nursing paper example)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
