Medical Procedures
Imaging Results [HAI requires chest X-ray]
Current Issue After 4 days, patient 11 developed a severe cough and respiratory infection which progressed quickly and has become pneumonia, which was confirmed with a chest X-Ray.
History Patient 11 is a 70-year-old male who claims to have felt "poorly" for several weeks. He is severely dehydrated, reports feeling nauseous, and is vomiting. He is very tired, very thirsty all the time, and has a slight fruity odor on his breath. The ER nurse immediately starts an IV saline drip to help with the dehydration. Test results show he has extremely high blood glucose levels that have been maintained at a high level for some months. He may develop ketoacidosis if his glucose levels are not brought into check. He is admitted to the hospital and is expected to need care for 7–10 days.
