The patient is a 75-year-old female who is currently in the hospital undergoing treatment for dehydration due to food poisoning. The patient was found to have a large, painful hordeolum on her external right lower eyelid. Due to the size of the pustule and the pain it was causing the patient, the decision was made to incise and drain the hordeolum while the patient was in the hospital. Code only the eye diagnosis and procedure. Ophthalmic Diagnosis: Ophthalmic Procedure:

Client: Male, 82 years old  Diagnosis: Osteomyelitis of the left hip, not a surgical candidate Baseline mental status: Alert and oriented per family. Current Status: Day 5 of mechanical ventilation. Sedation (Propofol) was titrated down 2 hours ago for a spontaneous awakening trial (SAT). Nurse Assessment Findings: The client opens his eyes to verbal stimuli but cannot follow commands. When asked to “Squeeze my hand when I say the letter ‘A'” during a string of letters (S-A-V-E-A-H-A-A-R-T), the client squeezes randomly and misses several “A”s. The client’s RASS (Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale) score is -1 (Drowsy). The nurse notes the client is picking at his sheets, is restless, and attempting to sit up despite being weak.   Using the above information, determine if the patient has delirium. If yes, what type is the patient demonstrating?

The patient is a 65-year-old male who was brought to the emergency department by his wife after he complained of acute worsening of his chronic lower back pain and a sudden ­difficulty in urinating. The patient is also experiencing numbness and weakness in his legs. The patient states that he has been diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication in the past. Imaging studies are performed and severe spinal stenosis at the level of L5 is confirmed. The patient is diagnosed with cauda equina syndrome and is taken to the operating room for an emergent decompression of the spinal cord. An L5 laminectomy is performed to relieve the pressure on the spinal cord. The patient is kept in the hospital for further monitoring of his neurological condition after the surgery. The patient’s final diagnoses are cauda equina syndrome and lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. Principal Diagnosis: Secondary Diagnosis: Principal Procedure:
