Consider the knowledge you have gained from this week’s lecture.

Use your lecture materials to determine three priority Social Determinants of Health (SDH) to assess for in the patient represented in the SOAP note. NOTE:  Priority may refer to a strength in an SDH category necessary for the individual to attain/maintain health OR the priority may be a challenge in an SDH category identified as needing support or intervention for the individual to attain/maintain health. 

In paragraph form, construct a discussion that identifies those priority SDHs using data from the objective and subjective data sets where appropriate to support your discussion.

Responses need to address all components of the question, demonstrate critical thinking and analysis and include peer-reviewed journal evidence to support the student’s position.

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with in-text citations and corresponding references in APA format.

Please review the rubric to ensure that your response meets the criteria.

Please respond to at least 2 of your peer’s posts with substantive comments using the following steps:

Construct a response – ideally, one who identified the same 3 priority SDHs that you did and one who did not.

Substantive comments add to the discussion and provide your fellow students with information that will enhance the learning environment.

References and citations should conform to APA standards.

Remember: Please respect the opinions of others, even if their views differ. In other words, disagree professionally and respectfully.

Plagiarism is never acceptable – give credit when credit is due – cite your sources.
