I. Data Collection
History of Present Problem:
    Julie Wilson, a 48-year-old female, brought into ER by husband after she collapsed at home this am. Initially was slightly confused. Complaining of severe right temporal lobe headache and blurred vision. Husband reports that she was complaining of headaches and blurred vision that “came & went quickly” over the past 3-4 weeks. CT w/o contrast of right temporal lobe positive for ischemia. Treated in ICU with rTPA. Residual left sided weakness noted. Patient transferred to med/surg floor to begin rehabilitation and for blood pressure stabilization. Patient noted with edema of bilateral lower extremity upon assessment by the med-surg nurse.
PMH: HTN, Diabetes – type II, hypercholesterolemia, ½ ppd smoker and peripheral vascular disease (PVD).
Personal/Social History:
Married for 20 years. Has 3 children who are grown and on their own. Patient works in human resources at a local supermarket. Exercises a couple times a week.
