Send the exact assignment or rubric from your course of study and a custom sample written to it lands in 24 to 48 hours, the first one free. D117 is WGU’s Advanced Health Assessment for the Advanced Practice Nurse course. It centers on the full head to toe assessment and the documentation that carries it, from history taking through system examination to a reasoned differential. Searches like "d117 task 2 assignment example", "D117 sample paper", and "D117 task samples" land on this page.
What D117 is really about
Assessment is the prerequisite with a physical craft inside it, and that creates two separate demands. One is performed and observed: many versions ask you to demonstrate examination technique for a preceptor or on camera, and this library has nothing to offer there, because supervised and recorded evaluations are yours alone. The other is written, and that is what the shelf covers. The written performance assessment typically asks for documentation of a composite patient, a history organized so a stranger could follow it, objective findings recorded in examination language, and an assessment section that names differentials and defends them. Any clinical hours or preceptor paperwork attached to the course is your own record and is never drafted here.
Documentation has conventions, and evaluators notice them the way editors notice house style. Subjective material stays subjective, reported in the patient's account rather than translated into your conclusion. Objective material stays measurable and observed. The reasoning that connects them lives in its own section, where it can be argued rather than smuggled in. Composite patients only, invented for the exercise, with no real chart behind them and no line that a reader could mistake for advice about their own body. When an aspect returns unmet, it usually returns with a sentence telling you exactly which section thinned out, and rewriting that section is the whole of the response.
What D117’s tasks ask for
The written task generally wants a complete record and then an argument built on it. The record covers the reason for the visit in the patient's words, the history of the present illness with its timing and modifiers, relevant past and family history, a review of systems that matches the complaint, and an examination documented system by system in the language of findings rather than impressions. The argument follows: two or three differentials, each with the findings that support it and, just as important, the findings that argue against it. Developmental and cultural considerations usually carry their own aspect, so they need their own paragraph instead of a polite mention. Sources belong wherever a normal range or a technique is claimed.
Why D117 tasks come back for revision
The failure that shows up most often in assessment writing is a document at war with itself. The subjective half says the cough is dry and three days old; the objective half records coarse crackles and a fever that has clearly been running longer. Or the history describes a patient with no shortness of breath while the examination reports accessory muscle use. Nothing in either half is impossible, but together they describe two people, and an evaluator reading for internal consistency has to mark the reasoning aspect unmet even when both halves are well written. Build the composite in one sitting, decide what is wrong with them before you write a word, and let both halves report the same person.
The D117 drawers
D117 Task 1 example
In many versions the first half is a full documented history and examination of one composite patient. On request, free, 24-48h.
D117 Task 2 example
The second typically reasons from those findings to a defended differential and follow up plan. On request, free, 24-48h.

Using a D117 sample the right way
A sample is most useful here as a formatting teacher. Documentation is a genre with rules about where information goes, and reading two finished write-ups will teach you more about placement than a rulebook does: what belongs in the history of the present illness and what has been dragged in from the review of systems, how findings are phrased without a diagnosis hiding inside them. Then build your own composite from scratch. Send us the task instructions and rubric and the first custom sample is free within 24-48h, written to your version rather than a generic one.
How these samples are written
Every sample on this board is written the way the custom ones are: the rubric aspects decoded first, a subject-matched writer drafting each aspect visibly, format and originality checked before it ships. WGU revises courses and instruments; a custom request is always written to the aspects in YOUR portal, never from a stale template.
D117 questions, answered
What does it mean when an evaluator says my documentation is inconsistent?
It usually means the two halves of the record disagree. A history that reports no pain above an examination that documents guarding, or a timeline that does not fit the findings, reads as two patients in one file. Settle the composite's condition and stage first, then write the history and the examination from that single decision.
Do I have to explain why I ruled a diagnosis out?
Yes, and that is where the aspect is usually won. A differential named without the findings that support it is an opinion; a differential ruled out without the finding that excluded it is a gap. Two lines each, pointing at your own documented data, turns the list into the reasoning the rubric asks for.
The task asked for a focused write-up and I submitted a comprehensive one. Does that matter?
It can cost the aspect outright. Focused and comprehensive are different documents with different expected sections, and an instruction line naming one of them is a specification rather than a suggestion. Read the task through once with a highlighter on nouns, list every document part it names, and confirm your headings match before anything goes in.
