A weekend symptom story (checkpoint 50)

Uma história curta descreve início, duração e resultado de sintomas sem fazer diagnóstico.

A situação

Yesterday during the Saturday assessment, Joana noticed that the complaint started on Friday and became worse after lunch. The first part of the story was clear.

While the doctor was checking the chart, Joana explained why the team needed to ask about onset, location, severity, and associated symptoms. The symptom changed and improved but then worsened; the complaint's onset, duration, severity, and location were recorded with blood pressure and temperature, while the sample was still pending.

First, they talked about the problem. Then they checked the details and agreed that the summary included nausea, fever, and clear observations.

O próximo passo

As a result, the team chose this next step: report the history to the next clinician.

During the saturday assessment, the doctor reported the change to the next team and asked them to listen carefully.
