Clinical narrative: Document Type: History and Physical   Document Subject: History & Physical Note   Performed By: MD on November 29, 2022 17:01   Verified By: MD on November 29, 2022 17:57   Encounter Info: Inpatient, 11/29/22 -     * Final Report *          History of Present Illness/Subjective      Chief Complaint: weakness HPI: Patient is an 80-year-old female presented to Emergency Department via EMS complaining of back pain that started 2 days ago additionally have been having some vomiting since yesterday oxygen saturation in 80s when EMS arrived at scene.  Patient is now on 4 L oxygen and saturating in high 90s  Patient's confused HPI is limited due to the altered mental state. Patient presented with a temperature of 101.5 heart rate monitor to respirations in high 20s to low 30s presenting blood pressure 219/88.  Briefly she was given nicardipine in the emergency room and her blood pressure gradually improved temperature dropped to 99.7 and respirations continue to be high.  Laboratory data was unremarkable except patient's troponin was 68 BNP 820 urinalysis showing moderate amount of hemoglobin rapid influenza positive: Negative.  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 and oriented, No Acute distress Eye: Pupils are equal, round and reactive to light HEENT: Normocephalic, atraumatic Neck: Supple, normal range of motion Oropharynx: No erythema or drainage. Respiratory: Lungs are clear to auscultation. basilar crackles Cardiovascular: Normal rate, Regular rhythm. s1 s2 positive Gastrointestinal: Soft, Non-tender. BS present all 4 quadrants Musculoskeletal: Normal range of motion, No focal tenderness Integumentary: Warm, Dry, No rash Neurologic: No focal weakness. Sensation intact. Normal mood and affect. cranial nerves grossly intact    Assessment/Plan       1. Sepsis   A41.9   Patient meets sepsis criteria secondary to high temperature tachycardia tachypnea and chest x-ray showing pneumonia.  -Patient has been started on broad-spectrum antibiotics  -We will gently hydrate the patient since patient's BNP is elevated to almost 1000.  -Monitor for fluid overload.   2. Pneumonia   J18.9   Follow-up on culture data, procalcitonin.  -If procalcitonin level is less than 0.25 discontinue antibiotics she is likely having influenza pneumonia.   3. Altered mental state   R41.82   See problem 1 and 2   4. Influenza   J11.1   Patient will be given Tamiflu twice daily for 5 days.  -Keep in droplet isolation.   5. Hypertensive urgency   I16.0  Patient was briefly on nicardipine drip bp improved.  will give metoprolol pushes if needed on the floor otherwise start home meds.   6. Elevated brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level   R79.89   Patient does not appear to be fluid overloaded but her BNP is sufficiently elevated.  -Obtain 2D echocardiogram   7. Elevated troponin   R77.8   Likely demand related.  -Repeat troponin.   8. Lacunar infarction   I63.81   This appears to be an old infarct but I am not certain since patient is having altered mental state I would like to get an MRI of her brain to rule out any acute problems.   9. Ascending aortic aneurysm   I71.21   This is also quite large chest at the verge and patient might need repair.  -We will refer this to primary care doctor for outpatient follow-up.   10. Hypokalemia   E87.6   This will be monitored daily patient is mildly hypokalemic.  -We will replace.   11. DM (diabetes mellitus), type 2   E11.9   Diabetes appears to be fairly well controlled.  -No need for Lantus.  -Continue with sliding scale insulin and low-carb diet.  -Hypoglycemia protocol.   12. Hyperlipidemia   E78.5   Resume statins   13. Morbid obesity   E66.01   Counseling will be provided once patient is more alert and awake.    Due to a high probability of clinically significant, life threatening deterioration, the patient required my highest level of preparedness to intervene emergently and I personally spent 52 minutes of critical care time directly and personally managing the patient. This critical care time included obtaining a history, examining the patient, pulse oximetry, ordering and reviewing the studies, arranging urgent treatment with development of a management plan, evaluation of the patient?s response to treatment, frequent reassessment, and discussions with other clinicians. The critical care time was performed to assess and manage the high probability of imminent, life-threatening deterioration that could result in multi-organ failure. It was exclusive of separately billable procedures and treating other patients and teaching time. Please see the MDM section and the rest of this note for further information on patient assessment and treatment.
