Pleased fallow this instructions.
This is the criteria my instructor will use to grade me.
With this case study analyze and create a comprehensive plan of care for acute/chronic care, disease prevention, and health promotion for this patient and disorder for the patient in the clinical case. The care plan should be based on current best practices and supported with citations from current literature, such as systematic reviews, published practice guidelines, standards of care from specialty organizations, and other research based resources. In addition, you will provide a detailed scientific rationale that justifies the inclusion of this evidence in your plan. Your paper should adhere to APA format for title page, headings, citations, and references. The paper should be no more than 3 pages typed excluding title page and references.
Provide at least 3 differentials medical diagnosis and a plan of car for each.
Provide Journals and research articles 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, and 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.

3. Chlamydia ICD-10 code: A74.9
Plan of Care:
Urinary Tract Infection:
Pharmacologic Management: Prescribe antibiotics for acute treatment and management of symptoms, as per sensitivities pending. Provide a prescription for the patient to initiate the medicine before the results of the culture are available to prevent the progression of the infection. Educate the patient about how to complete the full course of medication and signs and symptoms of recurrent UTIs.
Non-Pharmacologic Management: Encourage the patient to drink plenty of fluids to promote urine flow. Instruct the patient on proper urinary hygiene such as wiping from front to back after using the bathroom. Encourage frequent urination to prevent bladder distension.
Gonorrhea:
Pharmacologic Management: Prescribe antibiotics based on susceptibility before test results return.
Non-Pharmacologic Management: Instruct the patient on safe sex practices, and provide education about Gonorrhea prevention. Advise J.J’s partner to undergo testing and treatment if positive.
Chlamydia:
Pharmacologic Management: Azithromycin (Zithromax) 1 gram oral dose is the preferred treatment.
Non-Pharmacologic Management: Educate the patient about safe sex practices using proper precautions such as condoms and antiviral medications to prevent transmitting the infection to others.
