how do you determine the X factor

history

BCS,

current medical condition

what dose SOAP mean

subjective- Hx from owner basic observation of the pet

objective- record your PE findings.

Assessment- list the problems of the patient- this includes rule outs no diagnoses

Plan- list the diagnostics tests to be run and what the plan of attack is over the next 24 hours

what goes under subjective

start with signalment- breed, species, age, reproductive status.

what goes under objective

body weight. body condition score

BW in both LBS and Kgs.

pain assessment- on a scale of 0-4

PE- general appearance, temperature, pulse rate, and quality mention pulse deficits if present, RR,

CRT- report it in seconds less than 2 seconds is good,

MM- color ( pink, blue bright red) and hydration status moist tacky or dry

eye- look for vision as well as discharge, PLRs menace and palpebral response also visualize the lens for abnormalities,

ears- hearing as well as debris redness, swelling pruritus irritation, erythema

LN- describe the firmness size if the painful

integumentary system- healthy coat, erythema, dander, alopecia, smell, small cysts/nodules

musculoskeletal- wt bearing normal, atrophy muscles, BCS, gait, swelling, join pain broken bones

circulatory- murmurs, arrhythmia, equal pulse quality on both limbs, respiratory system- clear, no crackles or wheezing

urinary system - vulvar or prepucial discharge, urintating normally

reproductive- mammary glands firm soft red swollen, testicles- are they both descended are the symmetrical are the painful

normal TPR in canines
