Health Assessment (Including physical assessment)
Note – Look for current and previous treatment history and any illness.
- Macrolide Check – Check for antibiotics such as erythromycin, clarithromycin, azithromycin, fidaxomicin, and telithromycin that are used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. Such infections include pneumonia, pharyngitis, sinusitis, and bronchitis. additional infections that the patient could treat include gastrointestinal tract, ear, and skin infections, as well as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) – The symptoms in adults (the elderly) could be confusion, withdrawal, and/or agitation while in young patients it could be bed wetting. Other overall symptoms include;
- A strong urge to urinate
- A burning micturition – discharge of the urine from the bladder
- Oliguria – urinating less frequently or pee amounts of less than 400ml per day
- Pyuria – presence of at least 10 white blood cells in urine
- Hematuria – The presence of blood or red blood cells in urine
- Odynuria – Pain during urination especially from using a catheter
- Pelvic pain
- Costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness – Could indicate cystitis, when paired with symptoms like ever, chills, nausea, and vomiting it could be a case of pyelonephritis. it is also a kidney-related condition and may indicate STIs in young people.
- Assess;
- Eye, ear, walking, oral health, proper hygiene, and physical activity
- Regular checkups and follow ups
- Calorie intake via the 24hrs recall method
- Body Mass Index (BMI) – weight in Kgs divided by height in M2
- Immunization history
- Gynecological examination
- Cervical cancer
- Breast cancer
- History of acute respiratory infection and diarrhea
- Universal Health Coverage (UHC) index
- If high BMI check;
- Diabetes
Also, considering that Luciana Gonzalez is Hispanic:
The primary concerns for her as a patient will be monitoring of blood sugar and liver function or cirrhosis. These conditions could be associated with a history of alcoholism and smoking and so it would be wise to ask questions in this line as well. Weight and diet assessments are particularly important in such a patient. Tests on this part include checks for footsore as well as limited vascular and neurological examination. Liver function tests can be done to rule out any abnormalities in the liver while blood sugar tests would be suitable for determining the sugar levels in the patient’s blood. Mainly, the assessment is based on testing for risk of diabetes or liver disease as the chances for these conditions are 50% higher in Hispanics than non-Hispanics.
Interpretation or Diagnosis
Check all the above conditions as part of the health and wellness assessment and then offer a diagnosis for any abnormal conditions.
Treatment
Recommend a choice of treatment based on the diagnosis provided
