Follow-up: She is already scheduled with Dr. for follow-up on Thursday 6/23/2022 with CBC, BMP, and DDAC labs ordered. Per request of Dr. we have ordered an MRI brain to be done outpatient to evaluate for possible metastasis which could have contributed to her hyponatremia.  She is scheduled to follow-up with her PCP, NP on Friday 06/24/2022 at 10:00 a.m..  Today is day 10 after symptom onset regarding her COVID-19 positive status. After today patient will no longer need to quarantine.  DO  Primary Care Provider NP  Electronically signed on Jun-17-2022 1311 I have seen and physically examined the patient on 6/17/2022 and agree with the documentation of Dr. I have also discussed my findings and plan of care with Dr. Any changes and additional information are listed below.  Patient in good spirits and excited to be discharged. Explained our discharge recommendations of continuing 1500 cc fluid restriction. If she starts feeling lightheaded or feels unsteady on her feet she needs to be evaluated. Was going to order an outpatient BMP for next week to make sure she remains stable in her home environment from a sodium perspective but she already has outpatient labs that include electrolytes scheduled for her appointment with Dr., confirmed with the clinic. I have written an order for an outpatient MRI to evaluate for possible metastatic disease with results to be CC'd to Dr. for review. Centralized Scheduling to schedule with patient. Patient to complete course of paxlovid for the completion of 5 days. She has shown no signs of disease progression which is encouraging and in fact she should be out of isolation status by the end of the weekend. Follow up with PCP in 1 week. follow up with Oncology on Thursday at scheduled appointment. We have written for single drug lisinopril to replace her HCTZ as well as amlodipine at HS as she responded well to starting that to maintain normotension.  44 minutes spent coordinating dishcarge Electronically signed by DO on Jun-18-2022 1853
