Patient care

Discussion 5 homework help

Mason is a 55-year-old homeless man, who you are seeing today for the first time. He is a smoker and states that he has frequent colds and a routine morning cough. He used to be short of breath just walking up hills, but states that he now has difficulty breathing with everyday activities and is having trouble trying to find food because he cannot walk very far. He just wants medicine to help him survive on the streets. On examination, you find him using his accessory muscles to breath. His vital signs are 99°, 100 beats per minute, 28 respirations/min., blood pressure 140/90. Breath sounds are distant with end expiratory wheezes. He has a slight barrel chest and neck vein distention.

Discuss what hints you would ask the patient, what physical check elements you would include, what further testing you would want to have performed, differential and working diagnosis, treatment plan, including inclusion of complementary and OTC therapy, referrals and other team members needed to complete patient care
