Assessment:
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) ICD10- N73.9): The patient presents with symptoms consistent with PID, like burning and pain sensation when voiding, foul-smelling brown vaginal discharge, and lower abdominal pain. She has a history of Gonorrhea and Chlamydia infections, which probably ascended to the upper genital tract causing inflammation and PID. Her sexual history of multiple sexual partners puts her at risk of PID (Brun et al., 2019). In addition, physical exam findings consistent with PID in the patient include mild fever at 99.7F, abdominal tenderness, suprapubic tenderness, adnexal and cervical motion tenderness, and foul-smelling vaginal discharge. Furthermore, Positive monoclonal A.B. for Chlamydia suggests PID secondary to infection by Chlamydia trachomatis (Brun et al., 2019).
Cervicitis (ICD10- O86.11): The patient’s history of gonorrhea and chlamydia and multiple sexual partners increases her risk of cervicitis. The infection ascends the genital tract, causing cervix inflammation and resultant cervicitis (Bansal et al., 2022). The positive monoclonal A.B. for Chlamydia suggests cervicitis caused by Chlamydia infection. The patient presents with clinical features of cervicitis like pain when urinating, urinary frequency, foul-smelling increased vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain, suprapubic tenderness, cervical motion tenderness, and adnexal tenderness (Bansal et al., 2022).
Cystitis (IKCD 10- N30. 90): The clinical manifestations of cystitis include dysuria, urinary frequency, urgency, small volumes of urine, low back pain, suprapubic pain, and nocturia. The patient presents with positive findings of cystitis, like burning sensation and pain during urination, increased urinary frequency, and suprapubic tenderness (Frazier & Huppmann, 2020). B Besides, lab results support cystitis like straw-colored urine, high leukocytes on UA, numerous Bacteria, and the presence of Gram-negative rods.
Plan of Care:
1. PID
Pharmacologic treatment: The indicated first-line treatment for uncomplicated PID includes a combination of:
i. Ceftriaxone 1g STAT dose IM or IV route
ii. Doxycycline 100mg BID orally for 14 days
iii. Metronidazole 500mg BID oral for 14 days (Yusuf & Trent, 2023).
Health education & counseling: Health education on medication adherence to prevent re-infection. Counseling on safe sexual practices like using condoms and limiting the number of sexual partners. The patient will be advised to abstain from sexual practices until after the completion of the dose and the infection has abated (Yusuf & Trent, 2023).
2. Cervicitis
Pharmacologic treatment: The recommended treatment for cervicitis secondary to Chlamydia infection is:
Azithromycin 1 g orally OD or Doxycycline 100 mg orally BD for 7 days (Bansal et al., 2022).
Health education & counseling: The patient will be advised to have her sex partners tested and treated simultaneously since the cause of the cervicitis is a bacterial STI. She will be advised to abstain from sexual intercourse until the infection is eliminated from her and all her sex partners (Bansal et al., 2022). Health education on safe sexual practices, including using barrier protective methods to protect herself from STIs.
3. Cystitis
Pharmacologic treatment: The first-line treatment of uncomplicated cystitis is:
Nitrofurantoin 100 mg orally BD for 5 days (Frazier & Huppmann, 2020).
Health education & counseling: The patient has had three UTIs this year.
She will be educated on preventive measures for UTI, including: Increasing fluid intake, avoiding the use of spermicides and diaphragm, avoiding delaying urination, wiping front to back after defecation, urinating immediately after sexual intercourse, and avoiding douching (Jelly et al., 2022).

SOAP Note Assignment
Download and analyze the case study for this week. Create a SOAP note for disease prevention, health promotion, and acute care of the patient in the clinical case. Your care plan should be based on current evidence and nursing standards of care.
Visit the online library and research for current scholarly evidence (no older than 5 years) to support your nursing actions. In addition, consider visiting government sites such as the CDC, WHO, AHRQ, Healthy People 2020. Provide a detailed scientific rationale justifying the inclusion of this evidence in your plan.
Next determine the ICD-10 classification (diagnoses). The International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) is the official system used in the United States to classify and assign codes to health conditions and related information.
Download the access codes.
Download the SOAP template to help you design a holistic patient care plan. Utilize the SOAP guidelines to assist you in creating your SOAP note and building your plan of care. You are expected to develop a comprehensive SOAP note based on the given assessment, diagnosis, and advanced nursing interventions. Reflect on what you have learned about care plans through independent research and peer discussions and incorporate the knowledge that you have gained into your patient’s care plan. If the information is not in the provided scenario please consider it normal for SOAP note purposes, if it is abnormal please utilize what you know about the disease process and write what you would expect in the subjective and objective areas of your note.
