Study Notes
Health History and SOAP Documentation
- SOAP stands for subjective, objective, assessment, and plan
- Old carts: onset, location, duration, characteristics, alleviating factors, aggravating factors, radiation or relieving pain, timing, and severity
- HPI: history of present illness
- PQRST: precipitation, quality, radiation, severity, timing
- Client outcomes: character, location, impact, expectation, neglect, timing, other, understanding/beliefs, treatment, complementary, options, modulating, exposure, and spirituality
- SOAP notes: subjective data from the patient, including ROS, and objective data from the practitioner's assessment. Past medical history is not relevant to the current visit.
Common Geriatric Skin Lesions
- Xerosis: abnormal epidermal cell turnover, causing dryness and itching in the elderly
- Stasis dermatitis: dry, itchy, lower extremity skin, often with superficial varicose veins, causing edema and pressure. Inflamed skin may be ulcerated.
Common Geriatric Skin Tumors
- Seborrheic keratosis: stuck-on appearance, varying color, waxy or pebbly surface. May be mistaken for other skin cancers.
- Cherry angiomas (senile angiomas): smooth, firm, reddish spots, increasing with age.
- Acrochordon (skin tags): soft, compressible, pedunculated or projectile.
Eye Exam
- Eye assessment: "RSVP" (redness, sensitivity to light, vision loss, pain) questions. Any sudden vision loss is a medical emergency.
- Pupils: Arcus senilis (ring of white or gray at corneal margin) in older adults, potentially due to fat deposits. Pterygium, a wedge-shaped growth of conjunctiva.
- Eyelids: Endotropion and Exotropion may be observed.
Cranial Nerves
- Cranial nerve III, IV, and VI are responsible for eye movements.
- Vertical or horizontal diplopia may suggest issues with cranial nerve IV or VI respectively.
- Ocular emergencies include sudden vision loss and significant eye pain.
Ear Exam
- Outer ear includes the pinna and ear canal. Ear canal direction varies with age.
- Middle ear includes the tympanic membrane, which transmits sound.
- Inner ear consists of organs for hearing and balance.
- Otalgia (ear pain) may be primary or secondary (e.g., dental or TMJ issues).
- Hearing loss can be chronic or sudden.
- Tympanic membrane light reflex should be seen in the anterior inferior quadrant, on the left at 7 and right at 5 o'clock.
- Otitis media can sometimes be indicated by air bubbles behind tympanic membrane or yellow-tinged fluid.
Hearing Tests
- Rinne test: comparing air conduction to bone conduction to check for conductive or sensorineural hearing loss.
- Weber test: evaluates bone conduction differences between ears.
- Whisper test: assessing hearing acuity at a distance.
Presbycusis and Other Hearing Issues
- Presbycusis: gradual hearing loss due to nerve degeneration, it's common in adults.
- Cerumen impaction: a possible cause of hearing loss.
