OBJECTIVE DATA:

Vital signs: Ht: 170 cm, Wt: 84 kg, BMI: 29, HR: 78, BP: 128/82, RR: 15,Temp: 99.0 F, Sp02: 99%

General: The patient appears generally healthy with no sign of distress. Alert and oriented in person, place, and time. Very cooperative and pleasant during the interview.

HEENT: Eyes: Moist conjunctiva, anicteric sclera; no lid lag; Mild retinopathy on the right eye. PERRLA bilaterally. Ears, Nose, Mouth & Throat: Clear oropharynx with moist mucous membranes. No signs of mucosal ulcerations. Full dentition with no signs of bleeding gums. Hard and soft palates were noted with no abnormalities.

Neck: Supple with no jugular vein distention. No rigidity. No masses or enlarged lymph nodes.

Chest/Lungs: Bilaterally clear to auscultation. Prolonged expiratory phase. No wheezing, rhonchi, or rales.

Heart/Peripheral Vascular: S1 and S2 noted. Systolic murmur, 2/6. Regular heart rate and rhythm. No gallop or rales were noted.

Abdomen: The patient had bowel sounds present, non-tender, non-distended, obese, soft, no CVA tenderness.

Genital/Rectal: Normal appearing female. No unusual excessive or smelly discharge. Displays mild erythematous area with slight breakdown, sacral or right buttock area.

Musculoskeletal: Full ROM for both the upper and lower extremities. No stiffness or joint pain.

Neurological: No focal neurological deficits. Full mentation and speech. Grossly intact Cranial nerves II through XII. Decreased sensation to monofilament in bilateral plantar surfaces.

Skin, Hair & Nails: Face with scattered pustules with upper lip facial hair. Posterior neck with acanthosis nigricans. No other nail or hair deformities.

Diagnostic results: Routine lab works include complete blood count (CBC), basic metabolic panel, thyroid function test, and kidney function test. Additional tests include cholesterol check, pap smear, breast, and cervical cancer screening. Imaging studies such as CT and X-rays may be done to assess the prognosis of PCOS (Sayer-Jones & Sherman, 2021).

 

ASSESSMENT: Based on the patient’s physical findings, her BMI is high showing that she is overweight.

1. The monofilament test results also show decreased sensation in both the patient’s feet, which is a sign of peripheral neuropathy secondary to diabetes (Callaghan et al., 2018).
2. Mild retinopathy was also noted on the right eye which indicates the early stages of diabetes (Nagda et al., 2021).
3. Acanthosis nigricans noted on the patient skin is usually associated with systemic diseases like diabetes and obesity due to insulin resistance (Mourad et al., 2021).
4. The facial hair on the upper lip may be associated with her previous diagnosis of PCOS (Sadeghi et al., 2022).

Generally, the patient’s care plan will depend on further evaluation of her overweight, diabetes, PCOS, and asthma.
