NURSING ASSESSMENT & NOTES 5/24 Nursing Note: Client recently diagnosed and treated for unstable angina. Client 1005 reports struggling to lose weight in the past, so he has not kept to a consistent diet and exercise plan. Client states he gets fatigued quickly, so he is unsure how an exercise plan will work, especially after being in the hospital recently. Client arrived 5 minutes late to the scheduled appointment. Client stated, "it was a longer walk than I anticipated from the client drop-off area. I had to rush." 5/24 General Assessment: 55-year-old male, alert and in no acute distress. Client 1010 presents with clear, coherent speech. Symmetric facial features. Dress, demeanor, and verbal responses consistent with situation. Client lying on exam table at 45- degree angle. No involuntary movements. Centripetal fat distribution. Maintains eye contact. Reports intermittent, sharp pain in legs as 4/10. Client stated, "they hurt more when I was walking into the building." 5/24 Focused Assessment: 1015 Precordium: Inspection of chest reveals visible and slightly palpable pulsations present at the fifth intercostal space at the left midclavicular line spanning about 1 cm in diameter. S1 and S2 heart sounds auscultated with regular rate (98) and rhythm. No extra heart sounds. Denies any chest pain since leaving hospital a few weeks ago. Extremities: Skin pale, cool to touch. Capillary refill response is less than 3 seconds. +2 pulses bilaterally in all extremities except for +1 pedal pulses bilaterally. +1 pedal edema noted bilaterally. Client reports pain in the lower extremities is sharp, increases at night and when ambulating, but gets better when the client sits down in a chair.
