Clinical narrative: Document Type: History and Physical   Document Subject: History & Physical Note   Performed By: MD on February 02, 2023 04:22   Verified By: MD on February 02, 2023 04:22   Encounter Info: Hospital, Inpatient, 02/02/23 -     * Final Report *  Document Has Been Revised        Chief Complaint   AMS  History of Present Illness/Subjective     History of Present Illness/Subjective  This is an 83-year-old woman with past medical history of atrial fibrillation and DVT on anticoagulation, diabetes mellitus, fibromyalgia, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, hypothyroidism, osteoarthritis, dementia, anemia, stable chronic anemia, and chronic congestive heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.   The patient presents from nursing home this evening, initial work-up showing elevated BNP, peripheral edema, and chest radiograph suggestive of low-grade pulmonary edema in addition to findings consistent with urinary tract infection.  I called the patient emergency department, she is awake, pleasant, alert, not a great historian but in no distress.   Discharge back to nursing facility the emergency department, however, the nursing facility promptly return the patient back to his department.  Troponin 36, BNP 1383, creatinine 2.75, not too far from baseline.  She was hospitalized in July 2020 due to COVID and severe acute kidney injury superimposed on chronic kidney disease, at that time it appears at her baseline renal function has declined from creatinine now 2.5-2.75 range.    Echocardiogram 7/27/2022 showing normal LVEF and right atrial and pulmonary arterial pressures.  She is atrial fibrillation with a rate of 95, no acute ischemic change, no QRS.   The patient is negative for alert but has had problems with encephalopathy and hallucination on prior admission to the hospital.  Based on discussion with the ER provider and chart review, it appears that the patient was directed to the emergency department due to altered mentation.  At this point, I suspect she is not far from baseline.  He has lower extremity edema that was wrapped in gauze presentation of the knee.  Does not look like cellulitis.   Based on chart review, he does appear to be of 15 to 20 g from her prior baseline weight.     Review of Systems     Remaining 10 point review systems negative as noted above, however, limited reliability.  Physical Exam/Objective  Vital Signs (most recent and range for last 24 hours)  None reported this timeframe     Patient Weight    Patient Height  None Reported     Constitutional:  No acute distress,  well-nourished Eyes:  PERRLA,  EOMI,  normal conjunctiva,  no scleral icterus ENMT:  MM are dry Neck:  Supple, non-tender, intact range of motion, no jugular venous distention noted Respiratory:  Lungs CTAB Cardiovascular: Normal rate, irregularly irregular rhythm.  Lower extremity peripheral edema Gastrointestinal:  Soft, non-tender, non-distended Musculoskeletal:  No joint swelling, no deformity, intact ROM Integumentary:  Intact, warm, dry no rashes Neurologic: Pleasantly mildly confused but cooperative and alert.  Moves all extremities. Psychiatric:  Cooperative, appropriate mood and affect    Assessment/Plan       1. Acute lower UTI   N39.0  Ceftriaxone 1 g every 24 hours, follow culture results.  Monitor for urinary retention, history of   2. Severe sepsis without septic shock   R65.20  Present on admission, adequate capillary refill/perfusing pressure on repeat examination, imaging negative for infiltrate, at low risk for hemodynamic and respiratory instability, placing in med/surg status with low threshold to transfer to to ICU.  Blood cultures pending, urinalysis appears positive at this time, serum lactate within normal limits continue empiric coverage with roecphin.  De-escalate therapy as appropriate.  Meets SIRS criteria with leukocytosis and confusion/end-organ injury.  Febrile but only 100.2    1 g Rocephin, 40 milligrams Lasix in the emergency department   Chronic kidney disease exacerbates her volume issues and with urinary tract infection and possible impending sepsis physiology, would approach continued diuresis gingerly.   ADDENDUM: Initial blood cultures growing gram-positive cocci, appears to be 1 out of 2 bottles, clusters.  Could be contaminant, expand coverage, vancomycin and rocephin, follow cxs.      3. Acute encephalopathy   G93.40  UTI, most likely, nothing suggesting stroke and I'm not sure that she is far from baseline at this time.  Monitor clinicall.   4. Acute kidney injury superimposed on CKD   N17.9  Advanced progressively worsening kidney disease with superimposed CHF makes a complicated picture in regards to volume status.  Avoid nephrotoxins.  No IV contrast.  No NSAIDs.  Will diuresis x1 IV Lasix, monitor.  If we have issues with blood pressure or urine output, may need to replace volume.  She presently 97% on room air.  Chronic, uncontrolled disease.   Significant fluid retention, weight gain, diastolic chf with chronic kidney disease, however, some concern for developing sepsis physiology.  We will again attempt diuresis but need to monitor closely.   5. Chronic atrial fibrillation   I48.20  Continue beta-blocker and anticoagulation   6. Acute on chronic diastolic CHF (congestive heart failure)   I50.33  Significant limitation, daily, intake and output   7. Diabetes   E11.9  Basal insulin with sliding scale correction   8.
