Past majority of the history is obtained by chart review and previous records. Also obtained by wifeover the phone.  Patient has been to an outside hospital emergency department 2 times in the past 2 days, 1/3/22 and 1/4/22.  Each time, he was sent home.  Most recently, he was sent home with Keflex to treat a urinary tract infection and recommendations for home health care services.  However, his wife never picked up the Keflex.  Per chart review, the patient's wife states he has been experiencing increasingly worsening generalized weakness leading to difficulty holding his body up, ambulating with his walker, and multiple falls at home.  He is not hit his head or lost consciousness per his wife but does have some bruising on his buttock and extremities.  He has an indwelling catheter that was placed several months ago for chronic out obstruction.  He follows with a Urologist. The patient's wife called his Urology office yesterday stating that she had not seen any urine in his catheter bag since 3:00 a.m. the night before.  She was also noticing blood in his bag.  She does report that she noticed he tripped on his foley the other night, which might have caused some of the bleeding, but she isn't sure.  Reportedly, his catheter was replaced yesterday at Facility with return of urine. She does not feel she can adequately take care of him at home and is hoping he will go to a rehab facility to get stronger prior to returning home. She says that each time he falls, she has to call EMS and it takes 3 people to get him up and into a chair or bed.
