Requested office and hospital records, including the consult note from Dr. Martinez of Urology today. Three days before this admission he began to have burning with urination. His temperature was 102 degrees yesterday and he became very weak to the point that he could not stand, and his daughter brought him to Emergency Department. The burning urination has not been improving and his temperature was 100 degrees today. His other urologic history is per the urology consult note.

Is currently continuing to work as a consultant. He denies any smoking, alcohol, or drug history. He says he has a living will, but would be a full code in this situation. REVIEW OF SYSTEMS: Weak. Nauseous and had a decreased appetite, no vomiting. No abdominal pain. He has chronic constipation, with a bowel movement 2 days ago. No chest pain. No shortness of breath PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: GENERAL: He is quite pleasant, well appearing, and alert with normal affect. Patient in no acute distress. HEENT: Oral mucosa appropriately moist.

ABDOMEN: Obese, soft, nontender, nondistended, normoactive bowel sounds. No masses, rebounding, or guarding. No hepatosplenomegaly. EXTREMITIES: No pretibial edema or calf tenderness. Patient is too weak to examine gait and station. GENITOURINARY: Genitalia with circumcision normal. No masses, infection, no hernias. No pain felt with examination of the kidney area on both sides and with percussion. No CVA tenderness. LABORATORY DATA: Sodium is 120, potassium 3.9, chloride 89, CO2 20, BUN 28, creatinine is 1.77, and liver function tests remarkable for mildly low protein and albumin. White count 17.8, hemoglobin is 10, platelets are 141, MCV is 91.5. Urinalysis remarkable for 77 white cells, 2 red cells, leukocyte esterase 2+, urine nitrite is negative, and by way of comparison sodium was 131 in October 20XX, and hemoglobin was 12.8 in January 20XX. Other pertinent office labs included hemoglobin A1c of 6.8 on April 23 rd of last year and BMP on June 3 rd showed BUN 25 and creatinine 1.4. Sodium was 131 and PSA was normal at 1.14 on March 20, 20XX. TSH was 0.78, but this was in August 20XX, vitamin B12 level was above normal. Last EKG in the system was January 20XX, showing normal sinus rhythm and inferior Q-waves and old MI. CT abdomen and pelvis without contrast ordered today and shows evidence of enlarged prostate and heavily diseased abdominal aorta without dilations. IMPRESSION AND PLAN: 1. Complicated urinary tract infection with fever. Patient on Cipro. His fever was improving, but he has been seen by Urology while in the ER and was switched to cefepime. It will be important to get the culture result if it is available from the office. Cultures including blood cultures were repeated here and he has been put on normal saline IV. 2. Severe hyponatremia, with previous history of milder hyponatremia and chronic kidney disease, which is probably worse due to dehydration. He is getting hydrated with normal saline and I will consult Nephrology regarding this and repeat a TSH. 3. Hypertension and hypertensives have been ordered. EKG ordered. 4. History of coronary artery disease. We will not pursue this further, unless he might need an operation, which is doubtful. 5. Adult-onset diabetes, well controlled and will hold oral medications. Will put him on a sliding scale insulin. Electronically authenticated at end of document.

Morris Date of Service: January 5, 20XX MR # 300-2 Family Medicine History and Physical Mr. Morris is a 38-year-old patient followed at his group home by Dr. Moore and admitted this afternoon. He has a history of cerebral palsy with seizures related to anoxia during surgery at age 2. He was sent to the Emergency Department by his aide because of concerns about possible seizures. The Emergency Department physician doubted seizure activity based on his conversation with the aide. He was found to have an intestinal fecal impaction, which is a recurrent problem for him. I am familiar with this patient from previous admissions and follow-ups at his group home. History was obtained from his records and I had a discussion with the nurse coordinator at our practice. I read the Emergency Department documentation which indicated episodes of unresponsiveness today. PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Per the Emergency Department and the patient’s aide, the patient’s history was obtained. The aide denies any history of meningitis.
60 www.aapc.com CPT® copyright 2022 American Medical Association. All rights reserved. Chapter 3 MEDICATIONS: His only medication is a multivitamin daily and this was confirmed with the nurse. ALLERGIES: NKDA except baclofen side effects. REVIEW OF SYSTEMS: (FROM AIDE) CONSTITUTIONAL: Denies fever, recent chills, fatigue, decrease in appetite. NEUROMUSCULAR: Extremity and head movements, typical for his cerebral palsy DERMATOLOGY: Denies rash, abrasions, or lacerations. FAMILY HISTORY: Mother: Alive. Father: Unknown. SOCIAL HISTORY: No smoking, alcohol or drug use. He lives in a group home and has an aide with him 24/7 PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: GENERAL: Extremity and head movements, typical for his cerebral palsy. HEART: Normal rate, regular rhythm without murmurs. LUNGS: Clear. ABDOMEN: Non-tender and non-distended. EXTREMITIES: No pretibial edema. HEENT: TMs and oral mucosa are normal. An additional note regarding social history is that he goes outside the facility and does some sort of bowling program, which is hard to believe but confirmed with our nurse. LABORATORY DATA: Ordered today - CBC was normal. Comprehensive metabolic panel essentially unremarkable except total bilirubin 1.2. Lipase was normal. Chest X-ray today, no acute changes. CT of head without contrast, markedly motion degraded with no gross evidence of hemorrhage. CT abdomen and pelvis without contrast is severely limited by artifact but showing severe fecal impaction of the colon without evidence of stercoral colitis. Distention of the stomach and small bowel was felt to be secondary to fecal impaction. There was no free air. He has an intraspinal catheter. Nasogastric tube placement was to be considered. I was told by the Emergency Department that the NG tube would be placed but it was not done; I imagine because it had been difficult to place. He has an IV but no IV fluids were started. I talked to Emergency Department physician who was able to disimpact a small amount of stool, and then gave him an enema. He produced only a small amount of solid stool. An NG tube placement was attempted but not tolerated. It was noted that he was not vomiting. According to the nurse, his diet at the group home is normal. IMPRESSION AND PLAN: 1. Questionable episodes of unresponsiveness, which according to the Emergency Department physician are typical from previous episodes but not felt to be seizures. He had an EEG last year which was only mildly abnormal 2. Recurrent fecal impaction and our nurse says that his aide has been giving him senna, MiraLax, and Colace. I am not sure how consistently but we will go ahead and feed him clear liquids as tolerated. I ordered other laxatives including Dulcolax suppository and I am going to see if I can disimpact him any further this evening. I have consulted GI and I spoke with his mother who lives in Texas. She confirms that he would be full code. She wonders if some diet changes would be needed due to his constipation and certainly, we will address that.
