Clinical narrative: Document Type: History and Physical   Document Subject: History & Physical Note   Performed By: MD on November 05, 2023 05:09 EST   Verified By: MD on November 05, 2023 05:09 EST   Encounter Info: Hospital, Inpatient, 11/05/23 -     * Final Report *  Document Has Been Revised        Chief Complaint   Cough  History of Present Illness/Subjective     This is an 88-year-old female with advanced Parkinson's disease with dementia, history of CHF, chronic atrial fibrillation, chronic anticoagulation on Eliquis, stage III chronic disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, presents with complaint of cough and generalized malaise and myalgias over about the past 24 hours.  The daughter described the patient's cough as productive of clear sputum.  Also some diarrhea reportedly.  Episode of emesis earlier in the day, nonbloody and nonbilious.  Blood pressure elevated at 153/119 and heart rate up around 115-120 which concerned the daughter as well.  The daughter is from state but has been living with her mother lately to provide care as her Parkinson's disease advances.  Patient was treated for urinary tract infection last week with Keflex, today was to be the final dose.    White blood cell count normal,absent lymphocyte count 900.Creatinine 1.29, glucose 128, alkaline phosphatase 258, AST 311 and ALT 47.  BNP is 500, troponin 56 initially, 124 on repeat.Serum lactate 1.6.  Urine is bland.  COVID-19 positive.    Chest x-ray shows no acute cardiopulmonary abnormality.  Moderate hiatal hernia on CT but otherwise nothing acute.   Blood pressure labile, room systolic ranging from 86-1 59, likely some of that reactive, patient with dementia, her sleep-wake cycles of disturbed, is poor in the morning, etc.That being said, the patient does experience sleep disturbances as expected with Parkinson's disease, sometimes with insomnia, sometimes prolonged sleeping.  Incomplete voiding.  No history of significant constipation.  Chronic tremor.  The patient is pleasant and cooperative, however, the patient's daughter does describe progressive dementia.      Review of Systems     Unable to obtain outside of what was provided by the daughter as noted above.  Physical Exam/Objective Vitals & Measurements most recent past 24 hours   Hemodynamics   Neurologic   Patient Weight    Patient Height  None Reported     Constitutional:  No acute distress,  well-nourished Eyes:  PERRLA, normal conjunctiva ENMT:  Moist oral mucosa Neck:  Supple, non-tender, intact range of motion Respiratory:  Lungs CTAB, good airflow Cardiovascular:  Regular rate and rhythm no peripheral edema Gastrointestinal:  Soft, non-tender, non-distended Musculoskeletal:  No joint swelling, no deformity, intact ROM Integumentary:  Intact, warm, dry no rashes Neurologic: Alert, moves all extremities, chronic pill-rolling tremor and masked facies.       Assessment/Plan       1. COVID-19   U07.1   Chest x-ray clear.  Will check inflammatory markers, started on Dex and remdesivir as she is requiring supplemental oxygen.  Check procalcitonin levels, no antibiotics indicated at this time however.   2. Acute respiratory failure with hypoxia   J96.01   Mild, in fact, no lower than 89% in the emergency department.  This was in the middle of the night and she does have a history of sleep apnea, could be related to that.  RT and OT protocol, wean as able.   3. Atrial fibrillation   I48.91   Continue propranolol.  Monitor.  May need to add and/or titrate additional AV nodal blocking medication.  Monitor electrolytes.  Check thyroid function.   4. Elevated troponin   R79.89   No distress, not a great historian but does not appear to be in any discomfort of any kind.  Likely supply demand ischemia in the setting of tachycardia, COVID-19 infection, and delayed renal clearance.  Trend until stable and flat.   5. Elevated brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level   R79.89   Exacerbated most likely by kidney disease and chronic diastolic heart failure.  Continue the patient's home diuretic.   6. Elevated LFTs   R79.89   Uncertain what to make of this, isolated elevation of AST and minimal elevation of alkaline phosphatase with normal total bilirubin and prior cholecystectomy.  Suspect this is secondary to viral infection.  Monitor during hospitalization.   7. CAD (coronary artery disease)   I25.10   Continue aspirin and long-acting nitrate.   8. COPD mixed type   J44.9   Overall good airflow, does not appear to be on home respiratory medication, will add as needed nebulizers.   9. Urinary retention   R33.9   Monitor for retention   10. Stage 3a chronic kidney disease (CKD)   N18.31   At or near baseline, continue diuretic, monitor   11. Parkinson disease   G20   Continue carbidopa levodopa   12. Diastolic heart failure   I50.30   Continue home diuretic, monitor intake and output, low-sodium diet   13. Hx of long-term (current) use of anticoagulants   Z92.29   Age-adjusted Eliquis   14.
