Will change Azithro to doxy - CXR with patchy peripheral airspace opacities - Tested positive in ER 12/11.  - Symptom onset quite unclear; pt limited historian. He reports 7 days however would use 5 days to be more conservative - Started on Decadron in ER 12/21. Cont for 10 days.  - Hold on Remdesivir given current renal function. If GFR improves to >30, would consider giving. - Supplemental O2, wean as able.   - Supportive Care with PRN anti-emetics, anti-tussives, anti-pyretics. - Prone PRN - Trend CRP and check baseline ddimer. Daily CBC/CMP - Wean O2 as able.   Toxic metabolic encephalopathy - Friend tells me he is is a little "slow to respond/answer" at baseline - No focal deficits. Is A&Ox4 but slightly confused on situation.    DMII with hyperglycemia - Anticipate steroid induced hyperglycemia as well - Goal glucose < 180 while inpatient.  - Hold any oral hyperglycemic medications (glipizide a1c 7.0% in August). - Start Lantus 5 units and moderate scale. Titrate PRN   AKI on CKD III - Baseline Cr 1.7-1.8 - Avoid nephrotoxic medications as able. Avoid NSAIDS. Renal dosing of medications - Hold home ACEi   HTN - Cont Metoprolol 25mg BID - Hold Lisinopril 40   H/o SDH after fall  - Occurred 2015   DVT ppx - lovenox subq   Full code - I discussed code status with patient and he reports full code.    Of note, patient states he does not have a spouse, children or living brothers/sisters. He tells me he does have a cousin, however reports he would want his friend to be his DPOA if he were unable to make his medical decisions. He was able to report back to me the role of a DPOA, and I feel he is currently capable of appointing one. I was able to reach his friend, and she tells me she is the  Trustee of his step-father's trust (pays patient's bills). Friend tells me she has told patient that he needs to find someone to be his medical POA as she cannot because it would be conflict of interest. She tells me patient went to college but never held a job. She describes him as socially awkward. He has a group of friends that he plays Dungeons and Dragons and involved in church. She says he has a cousin who may be willing to be DPOA. Appreciate MSW/NCM with this situation.   Addendum 2030: Noted DDimer came back at 30,280. Due to current renal function, unable to send for CTA chest. Check doppler US upper and lower extremities and start empirically treat with heparin gtt for now.
