Hospital Course Patient is a 91 yr old male who presented to the ED from Nursing home today for general weakness. PMH includes anemia, BPH, chronic urinary retention, indwelling urinary catheter, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, BPH, history of cardiac arrest 2 months ago, and history of TIA. The patient was diagnosed with COVID-19 on 10/08/2022 prior to admission. The patient was originally admitted to the Nursing Home for rehabilitation to home following an MI and cardiac arrest 2 months ago. The patient was found to have left lobar pneumonia with with possible patchy infiltrate superimposed, patient has community-acquired pneumonia and patchy infiltrate is either evidence of recent COVID or continued active COVID. He was treated as active COVID while hospitalized. The patient was originally treated with 3 days of Zosyn and is being discharged with 2 days of Augmentin and doxycycline, sputum cultures were negative we are treating based on empiric guidelines. The patient's hospital stay was significant for acute respiratory failure, received supplemental oxygen for 3 days. A yeast urinary tract infection indwelling catheter associated, which is being treated for urinary tract infection. The patient had persistent low magnesium likely due to low dietary intake and PPI use this was replaced via IV magnesium. The patient continued to improve throughout his hospital stay and the patient was deemed ready to be discharged today to the Nursing Home.

We are discharging the patient on amoxicillin clavulanic acid 875  p.o. b.i.d.  and doxycycline 100 mg p.o. b.i.d. for 2 days to finish out a 5 day course of treatment for his community-acquired pneumonia. The patient received 3 days of Zosyn while hospitalized. COVID-19 is likely a secondary infection but not the primary source of his pneumonia.  Patient is being discharged with 13 days of fluconazole for yeast UTI  associated with his indwelling Foley.   I called Nursing Home today to confirm that the patient does require indwelling Foley for the diagnosis of urinary retention and those were added to his assessment last. patient is being discharged with a Foley that was placed while he was hospitalized.   We are continuing all other home medications without alteration. Follow-up will be done within 7 days by Dr. at the nursing home.    The patient was seen by attending Dr. and the plan of care discussed with this resident.    Primary Care Provider DO  Electronically signed by DO on Oct-24-2022 1116
