Electronically signed on Dec-27-2021 1001 I have seen and examined the patient on this date and agree with the note as documented above and I have discussed the plan of care. Changes and additional information, if any, are documented below. I have reviewed and agree with the chief complaint, history present illness, and review of systems as documented by the resident.  Today when I am seeing the patient she is not interacting with the environment but she will try to push my hand away when I try to interact with her even do a physical exam. She is not eating, not drinking water, and as mentioned is not interactive with the environment I have reviewed and agree with the vital signs, physical exam, laboratory data as documented by the resident I have reviewed and agree with the assessment and plan of care and discussed the plan of care with the resident. I have spoken with the patient's son, who is her durable power of attorney, and he I have discussed her current condition and prognosis. He agrees that her quality of life has suffered especially after her diagnosis of COVID-19. He states that her ability to eat and drink and her mental status has rapidly decline but that she did not have good quality life before that. Him and his sister as well as his mother have all agreed that they would not want PEG tube feeding. I explained that her prognosis is grim especially since she is not interacting with the environment and not eating and drinking. He is agreeable to discharge back to the nursing home tomorrow with comfort measures and pleasure feedings if she did happen wake up. I did explain that even pleasure feedings could lead to aspiration. He understands this. Will plan for discharge tomorrow. Electronically signed
