Analysis (Analyzing Cues) Which client conditions are consistent with the cues? Do the cues support a particular client condition? What cues are a cause for concern? What other information would help to establish the significance of a cue? Hello, can you please help me with this cuestion about the next case? The patient is a 35 year -old female with AIDS brought to the emergency room with a fever of 39oC and a three month history of copious diarrhea.

Cardiac exam demonstrated an S1 and S2 without S3, S4 or murmur. Lungs were clear to auscultation and percussion. The abdomen was supple and minimally tender to palpation. Bowel sounds were hyperactive. Stool was guiac negative. Extremities were without cyanosis, clubbing or edema. Neurological exam was intact.
