Study Guide for Final Exam: NURS 6800 General topics include, but are not limited to: Well child examination: Well visits including months 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12, 15, 18, 24, SOAP notes: Meanings of SOAP: S: what the parent reports O: your assessment A: your diagnosis P: the plan This is the first heading of the SOAP note.
