This week you will complete a case study prompt and a reflection prompt.
Select one of the following case studies to address:
A 42-year-old patient is 3 days post-op from abdominal cholecystectomy. She is currently taking only antibiotics and hydrocodone. Today she complains of left calf pain just below the knee and states it is swollen, warm, and painful to touch. She denies other symptoms, significant history, or allergies.
A 66-year old woman complains of shortness of breath, numbness and heaviness of her arms when walking up the hill to her house. The pain subsides when she stops to rest.
