Fever         HPI & Medical Decision Making     HPI:   Patient is a 71 y.o. male presenting to the ED with fever and mild confusion.  Patient is really unable to report why he is here, is alert to himself and place.  Recently had a right foot biopsy on October 1 out of concern for osteomyelitis, biopsy negative, continued on amoxicillin clavulanate for 3 weeks as an outpatient in consultation with infectious disease and podiatry.  Conversation with wife over the phone notes that patient had been feeling fine night before presentation, awoke with a fever and confusion per daughter, who recommended EMS be called.       MDM: This is a 71-year-old male presenting with fever and confusion per family.  Hemodynamically stable on arrival on exam, transient dip to the mid 90s systolic that has stabilized with liter of crystalloid.  Undifferentiated 71-year-old with fever will work broadly up for sepsis, the wound on his right heel appears to be healing adequately with no signs of infection.  Confusion may also be seen by electrolyte abnormalities, which will be assessed for on his sepsis work-up.   Work-up broadly negative for changes from baseline, with a stable hemoglobin of 10.9, stable creatinine of 1.27, and a bland urinalysis with a normal lactate.  He is COVID-19 positive, which likely explains his temperature.  Spoke with daughter, who notes patient was having some issues with short-term memory and following commands this morning, which were not present on exam or during my interview.   Patient passed his pulse oximetry ambulation test, staying above 95%.  Given that he is COVID-19 positive without hypoxia, will plan on sending patient home with reminder to self isolate and to follow-up with his primary care physician, which patient and his wife who is in the room is amenable to.  Findings of the emergency department visit outlined to patient and wife, who expressed understanding, as well as expressing understanding of the return precautions and follow-up instructions.
