History was obtained from daughter who was at bedside and this history is from emergency room chart due to patient's altered mental state which is quite altered from his baseline dementia.  Patient was apparently recently discharged from our facility on January 28 where he had been treated for flu.  At that time patient was septic septic from influenza a.  As per the reports from family patient has gotten progressively worse since and has been out of it for past 3 days.  Patient also complains of having cough which is blamed on influenza A infection recently.  Patient has never used oxygen at home and apparently was having low oxygen today when he presented to the emergency room as low as 87% on room air.  Upon evaluation in the emergency room laboratory data was fairly benign with normal white count normal kidney function glucose elevated at 120 normal liver enzymes troponin at 27 BNP 45 lactate 1.6 urinalysis showing large amount of hemoglobin positive nitrites many bacteria flu negative COVID-positive patient was not COVID-positive at his last hospitalization.  A chest x-ray was obtained that failed to show any pneumonia and CT abdomen pelvis was done that showed no acute findings in the abdomen or pelvis chronic findings which remain unchanged CT head without IV contrast shows advanced microvascular ischemic changes and generalized atrophy if clinical suspicion for acute ischemia persists consider further evaluation with brain MRI no CT evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage.  Patient is full code which has been confirmed with the family by emergency room doctor.  Since patient was requiring oxygen it was decided to bring inpatient for treatment of COVID.  Review of Systems     All 13 point review of systems were reviewed with the patient and are negative except as specified in the HPI  Physical Exam/Objective  Vital Signs (most recent and range for last 24 hours)  None reported this timeframe     Patient Weight    Patient Height  None Reported     General: Alert but not oriented Eye: Pupils are equal, round and reactive to light HEENT: Normocephalic Neck: Supple, normal range of motion Oropharynx: No erythema or drainage. Respiratory: Lungs are clear to auscultation. Cardiovascular: Normal rate, Regular rhythm. Gastrointestinal: Soft, Non-tender. Musculoskeletal: Normal range of motion, No focal tenderness Integumentary: Warm, Dry, No rash Neurologic: No focal weakness. Sensation intact. Normal mood and affect       Assessment/Plan       1. COVID   U07.1   New diagnosis of COVID 19 likely acquired from nursing home.  -We will start patient on remdesivir since symptoms are fairly new and patient is requiring oxygen.  -Dexamethasone 6 mg IV daily  -Check procalcitonin levels and other appropriate labs as ordered in order set.  -Oxygen as needed.  -Keep patient isolated.   2. Hypoxia   R09.02   Oxygen as above  -Hypoxia resulting from COVID-19 infection.   3. Altered mental state   R41.82   Altered mental status likely due to current infection by COVID-19 and hypoxia.  -Oxygen as needed.  -Monitor for falls.   4. Dementia   F03.90   Noted.   5. Recurrent UTI   N39.0   Patient will be given ceftriaxone for his urinary tract infection and we will look for cultures and if cultures are negative we will discontinue antibiotics.  He may just be having colonization due to having recurrent urinary tract infections and incomplete bladder emptying.  Urine cultures from last visit were negative but 1 urine cultures from January 14 showed ESBL positive E. coli.  -We will treat with cefepime   6. Atrial fibrillation   I48.91   Patient is rate controlled on atenolol.  -I do not see any anticoagulation for this patient likely due to advanced age and risk of falls.  -Continue to monitor for now.   7. BPH with obstruction/lower urinary tract symptoms   N40.1   Noted resume home medications   8. GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease)   K21.9   Patient will be on Protonix.   9.
