Question

PLEASE HELP ME ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

1. Give your conclusions about the present situation. Words like "might be" or "could be."

are helpful. A diagnosis is not necessary. (i.e., Patient’s tongue swelling might be from side effects from ACE drugs)

 

2. If the situation is unclear at least try to indicate what body system might be involved.

 

3. State how severe the problem seems to be. (Patient is having a severe chest pain from ischemia to cardiac vessels)

 

4. If appropriate, state the problem could be life threatening such as medication adverse effect.

(Pt is experiencing Red Man Syndrome from a severe reaction to Vancomycin infused too rapidly)

she has made a lot of friends in the apartment building that she lives in, and her
neighbor has called her and let her know that she will take care of her cats. Because
