Clinical narrative: Document Type: History and Physical   Document Subject: History & Physical Note  Inpatient, 03/26/23 -     * Final Report *        Chief Complaint   AMS  History of Present Illness/Subjective     Due to AMS, HPI is limited. 63 year old female with hx of liver cirrhosis s/p TIPS, HLD, hypothyroidism, presents to the bedford ED. Patient was recently discharged from Askanazy on the 18th. She is now at a nursing facility and this morning she woke up and started walking around which is atypical for her. Staff reports she did not fall or hit her head. The patient was then reported to sleep all throughout the day which is also atypical for her. The staff then reassessed the patient at 1600 so they could also give her her lactulose, however they noticed she was AMS. The staff reports that the patient is usually conversant, but was only responding to her name and not question.   In the ED her ammonia was elevated at 93, patient was unable to follow commands or take po medications, therefore an NG tube was placed for lactulose administration. Patient also had an AKI and worsened anemia. CT abd pelvis did not demonstrate any acute findings. Additionally, she was sedated further with 5mg haldol and 1mg of Ativan for the facilitation of the ng tube placement.
