| Scenario | Patient was admitted yesterday from the ED with community-acquired pneumonia. | ||
| Admission note taken on 12/15/25 | |||
| CC | Patient with fever, shortness of breath, and cough came to the ED. | ||
| HPI | Patient is a 55 year old woman with a 3 day history of worsening SOB, productive cough, fevers, chills, and right-sided pain. Patient states that her shortness of breath began about a week ago after delivering mail on a really hot, humid day. Since she didn’t get better, she went to an Urgent Care Clinic a few days later. They diagnosed her with a respiratory tract infection and prescribed Levofloxacin 750 mg PO daily x 5 days. She couldn’t afford to fill the prescription so has just been taking OTC acetaminophen and cough/cold medicine, but her symptoms keep getting worse. She started coughing up stuff a few days ago and has been feeling feverish with chills, but has not taken her temperature. | ||
