Nursing Note: Client reports the cough began “after starting a new job.” Client reports the job involves “some demolition and construction of buildings.” Client reports wearing the employer-provided mask “most of the time” except when he feels “hot” during the day. Reports “feeling tired” and having a cough that has gone on for “almost a month.” Medical History: Hypertension Childhood asthma Seasonal allergies Surgical History: none Family History: Mother Breast cancer Diabetes mellitus Hypertension Chronic kidney disease Father Alcoholism Depression 7/2 1400 Social History: Client is a non-smoker and reports having never smoked. Client denies use of alcohol or other drugs. Reported living in a group shelter in the city near a freeway for the last 6 months. Client is planning to move to an apartment in the next month. Client reported being diagnosed “a few years ago” with high blood pressure. He was “unable to afford medicine” for the last year, but a friend in the shelter was willing to share medication with him. Client reported he “doesn’t remember the original medication prescribed,” but his friend “was on lisinopril and shared it” with the client. Client reports taking this daily for the past few weeks. One of his coworkers gave him some dextromethorphan with acetaminophen to try, which he is taking “throughout the day” for his cough. Before answering this question, review the client’s health information in the EHR. Identify the priority questions the nurse should ask the client. Select all that apply. “Have you been swabbed for respiratory viruses since you started coughing?” “What time of day do you notice the cough more?” “Are you working during the day, or do you work at night?” “Do you notice if you sweat a lot at night?” “What have you noticed that triggers the cough?” “Why are you sharing medications with friends?” “Are your parents still living? If not, at what age did they pass away?” “Are you bringing anything up when you cough?” “Are you experiencing any pain with breathing or when you cough?”
