Assignment: Lab Assignment: Assessing the Genitalia and Rectum

Patients are frequently uncomfortable discussing with healthcare professional’s issues that involve the genitalia and rectum; however, gathering an adequate history and properly conducting a physical exam are vital. Examining case studies of genital and rectal abnormalities can help prepare advanced practice nurses to accurately assess patients with problems in these areas.
In this Lab Assignment, you will analyze an Episodic note case study that describes abnormal findings in patients seen in a clinical setting. You will consider what history should be collected from the patients, as well as which physical exams and diagnostic tests should be conducted. You will also formulate a differential diagnosis with several possible conditions.

To Prepare
  • Review the Episodic note case study your instructor provides you for this week’s Assignment. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your Episodic note case study.
  • Based on the Episodic note case study:
    • Review this week’s Learning Resources, and consider the insights they provide about the case study. Refer to Chapter 3 of the Sullivan resource to guide you as you complete your Lab Assignment.
    • Search the Walden library or the Internet for evidence-based resources to support your answers to the questions provided.
    • Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient in the case study.
    • Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s condition. How would the results be used to make a diagnosis?
    • Identify at least five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.
The Lab Assignment

Using evidence-based resources from your search, answer the following questions and support your answers using current evidence from the literature.

  • Analyze the subjective portion of the note. List additional information that should be included in the documentation.
  • Analyze the objective portion of the note. List additional information that should be included in the documentation.
  • Is the assessment supported by the subjective and objective information? Why or why not?
  • Would diagnostics be appropriate for this case, and how would the results be used to make a diagnosis?
  • Would you reject/accept the current diagnosis? Why or why not? Identify three possible conditions that may be considered as a differential diagnosis for this patient. Explain your reasoning using at least three different references from current evidence-based literature.

ASSESSMENT: Primary Diagnosis:
Syphilis: Chancre Differential Diagnoses:
Chlamydia, Human Papilloma Virus, Herpes Simplex Virus, Gonorrhea, Contact Dermatitis
Additional Subjective Information
The subjective information is missing any detailed information about the patient’s sexual
practices and current use of contraceptives which is imperative to assess risk factors for
certain sexual-transmitted diseases. Providers should also interview the patient on
potential allergies and irritants. More subjective information is also needed on the
patient’s lifestyle choices and sexual/reproductive history to get a clearer picture of the
patient’s medical history to avoid ordering unnecessary tests.
Additional Objective Information

The objective data should contain details about the review of each body system in order
to appropriate diagnose a patient and to rule out potential differential diagnosis. It is
important to know a patient’s general health state, to assess the lymph nodes for
swelling, throat and mouth for any other sores and lesions. The provider should assess
the patient’s respiratory system more detailed since there is a history of asthma.
Healthcare providers should also assess the patients bowl and bladder habits for any
changes or symptoms.
Assessment Support
The objective and subjective assessment has supported the provider to make the
primary diagnosis. However, the provider should include a head-to-toe assessment and
gather more details on the patient’s sexual history and practices to rule out differential
diagnoses. Also, the provider should be more precise about the genital lesions including
information about the borders, color, and size.
Current Diagnosis and Differential Diagnoses
The current diagnosis of the patient scenario is chancre. Chancre is also known
as the medical condition of a painless lesion or sore commonly found in the genital
area. With the patient’s current symptoms, risk factors, and unsafe sexually practices
this diagnosis may be warranted. However, a healthcare professional will need more
details and diagnostics done to confirm the primary diagnosis.
Chlamydia: The patient has a history of chlamydia which raises the highest
suspicion for reinfection of chlamydia along with the risk factors of being 21 years old,

having more than one sexual partner, and not using barrier methods of contraception
(Dains, Baumann & Scheibel, 2016). Chlamydia can be asymptomatic but vaginal
discharge or bleeding may be another indicator in the later stages of the disease
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017). However, chlamydia is not
associated with genital lesions but a chlamydia infection with syphilis infection is
possible.
Human Papilloma Virus (HPV): Genital warts are very commonly caused by the
human papillomavirus. Patients usually have few symptoms unless lesions become
larger, patients may experience bleeding, discharge, itching, and pain (Dains, Baumann
& Scheibel, 2016).
Herpes simplex virus infection: Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted
disease. Affected patients often do not experience any symptoms or very mild
symptoms. Herpes sores appear as one or more blisters on or around the genital,
rectum, or mouth which are often mistaken as ingrowing hair or pimples (Center for
Disease Control and Prevention, 2017).
Gonorrhea: Patients with this sexually-transmitted disease experience purulent
discharge, dysuria, and pain during urination, painful intercourse and/or abdominal pain
(Mayo Clinic, 2018). More detailed sexual history and symptoms must be detected in
the health interview to determine if the patient is at risk for this type of STD.
Contact Dermatitis: A genital rash is referred to a spread of lesions or bumps.
Symptoms may include sores, bumps, blister, and lesions, irritation or inflammation,
itching or burning, discharge genitals, and pelvic pain (Ball, Baumann & Scheibel,

2016). Furthermore, allergic irritants such lubricants and condoms may cause to
develop genital lesions.
Diagnostic Testing
The case study reveals that only a Herpes Simplex Virus sample was obtained.
To confirm the primary diagnosis, healthcare providers must collect a syphilis serologic
blood test to confirm the presence of antibodies. The diagnostic of syphilis also includes
a detailed health assessment interview including the onset of the chancre and the
examination of the chancre. It is common in syphilis to experience painless ulcerations
in the anogenital area which typically appears 9 to 90 days after exposure (Epocrates,
2018). Gonorrhea is detected with a recommended (Epocrates, 2018). Nucleic acid
amplification test (NAAT) Since the sexual history reveals multiple sexual partners and
no barrier protection, healthcare providers may want to utilize a speculum exam of the
cervix and vagina while collecting a clinician vaginal and endocervical swab along with a
urine sample to detect gonorrhea. Genital herpes can be detected with an HSV test
which was already obtained. Furthermore, type-specific serologic testing may be the
best diagnostic approach to detect HSV (Epocrates, 2018). To confirm a human
papilloma virus infection provider will collect a pap smear sample and DNA test for
laboratory testing (Mayo Clinic, 2018). Acute genital dermatitis is manifested by itching,
genital redness, and burning sensation. Diagnosis is made by history, physical exam,
and patch testing to detect irritants and contact sensitivity such as reaction to latex
condoms (Ljubojević et al., 2009).
