What should the assessment section of an NP SOAP note contain?
Your leading diagnosis, the reasoning that got you there from the subjective and objective findings, and why the main alternatives are less likely. It is the analytical section, and writing it as a restatement of findings is the most common way to lose the points it carries.
This comes up on Nurse Practitioner Coursework, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
