Last week

This week went really well. My pt. was a 75 yo man who was admitted w/ fatigue & malaise. He had severe tremors w/ out etiology and a hx of CHF, HTN, A Fib, COPD and renal failure. The doctors were thinking that the tremors were a adverse reaction to his A Fib med. but he was still on it?!?!?! His tremors made caring for him very hard. He was hard to understand at times and I had to take manual bps and do pulse ox's on his toe to get readings. His pulse ox gave me a little scare. He bounced around from the low 80s to the low 90s based on his exertion level. He even had respiratory a little nervous! Anyways, he was very nice and I enjoyed my time w/ him. I am happy to have made it through another semester (the clinical portion anyway!!!)
