Use your lecture materials to determine three priority Social Determinants of Health (SDH) to assess for in the patient represented in the SOAP note. 
NOTE:  Priority may refer to a strength in an SDH category necessary for the individual to attain/maintain health OR the priority may be a challenge in an SDH category identified as needing support or intervention for the individual to attain/maintain health.  

· In paragraph form, construct a discussion that identifies those priority SDHs using data from the objective and subjective data sets where appropriate to support your discussion.

· Include in your discussion some strategies you might utilize to address challenges with or support strengths identified in those three priority SDH.

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.
