Patient presents after a fall at home. EMS reports that the patient was garbled and he was hypotensive en route. He states that his speech is slurred secondary to dry mouth. Patient has abrasions to bilateral elbows, but denies any pain. He endorses generalized weakness. Denies hitting head, shortness of breath, cough, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.

Physical Exam/Objective  Vitals & Measurements most recent  T: 36.5 °C (Oral)  BP: 102/64  HR: 116 (Monitored)  RR: 20  SpO2: 100%  Oxygen Therapy: Room air  WT: 49.70 kg (WFC)  HT: 162.6 cm      General:  alert, no acute distress Skin:  warm, dry Head:  no trauma, normocephalic, mouth and oropharynx very dry Neck:  trachea midline, no adenopathy, no tenderness Eye:  normal conjunctiva, clearsclera Cardiovascular:  tachycardicrate and regular rhythm, normalperipheral perfusion Respiratory:  Lungs CTA, respirations non-labored Chest wall:  no deformity Gastrointestinal:  soft, non-distended, no tenderness , no guarding  Extremities:  no deformity, no trauma, abrasions and skin tears to bilateral elbows Neurological:  oriented x4  , LOC appropriate for age, CNII-XII intact, bilaterally  , no facial droop, motor function and sensation intact in all four extremities. Speech somewhat thick but easily understood Psychiatric:  Cooperative ,  appropriate for ageaffect  , normal  judgement,  normal psychiatric thoughts  Medical Decision Making     DDx: ischemic stroke, hemorrhage stroke, dehydration, UTI  History provided by: Patient Prior records reviewed: Internal medicine note from 5/25/2023 Social Determinants of Health: Previous CVA, medically complicated Interpretations (EKG, Imaging): CBC, BMP, coags, CK, troponin, lactate, EtOH, UA, CT head, CTA head/neck, chest x-ray  Rate: 117 bpm Rhythm: Sinus tachycardia Axis: normal Conduction: normal ST segments: no changes T waves: no changes Q waves: inferior Q waves Impression: Sinus tachycardia with likely old ischemic changes Comparison to old: Compared with previous from 2/15/23 Rate is faster, but otherwise unchanged  Treatments: IV fluids, Zosyn, vancomycin Advanced Monitoring required: No Admission considered: No Misc discussion: Patient does have a significant leukocytosis but it appears chronic, going back to 2/23. It is higher than before but may be due to hemoconcentration as patient appears clinically very dehydrated. After wetting his mouth with a swab, his speech is essentially back to normal, no slurring, clear and fluent.  05/28/23 05:02:34 On repeat, patient's WBC has actually gone up to 28.6, unclear etiology. CXR is clear, UA shows no signs of UTI. Patient does have chronic gangrene of his right great toe, scheduled for TMA on 6/1/23. Will obtain an x-ray of his right foot to assess for osteomyelitis, as well as a CT abdomen/pelvis to assess for intraabdominal infection. Patient denies any issues or complaints currently, no pain, no nausea. Consultations: 05/28/23 02:38:19 Contacted by radiologist who states there is a large, old infarct in the left parietal lobe but no obvious acute infarct, no hemorrhage. CTA shows likely chronic left PCA occlusion but no large vessel occlusion. Disposition: Pending Prescriptions: Pending    I have transitioned care of the patient to Dr, we have discussed the clinical presentation, work-up, and ED course thus far.
