[Solved]: History of Present Illness A 32-year-old woman…

History of Present Illness A 32-year-old woman presents to an urgent care clinic with a week-long history of a bump on her leg that has increased in size and pain. She wonders if she was bitten by a spider or insect and states the lesion started off about the size of a “pimple” but then kept getting larger. She was able to express some pus from it 3 to 4 days ago and thought it would go away but now it feels as if there is more tenderness underneath her skin, and although it seems to be coming a head, she cannot squeeze out any more pus. This has never happened to her before, although she does note that in the past when shaving her armpits, she sometimes would have a couple of bumps or pimples but they would usually go away after a week or two. She denies fevers, chills, or any additional systemic symptoms. Review of Systems The client’s ROS is positive for mild fatigue and leg pain. She denies any history of abdominal pain, additional rashes or lesions, nausea/vomiting, chest pain, SOB, headache, or dizziness. Relevant History The client’s history is noncontributory. She works as a patient care associate at a local nursing home. The client states she drinks at parties and social events, smokes marijuana occasionally, and reports no other drug use. Family history includes both parents with hypertension. Her only medications are daily multivitamins and oral contraceptives, and she denies any medication allergies. Allergies No known drug allergies; no known food allergies. (Use an outline format to respond to questions #1, #2, and #3. Example below: 1.Cue a. Potential cause/implication 1) Intervention 2.
