Student Response: Auscultation of the lungs were done to determine if there was any fluid/consolidation.

Auscultation of the cardiovascular system was done to determine if there was a possibility for artherlosclerosis
or issues with heart to include heart failure or valvular (same for EKG to determine arrhythmia). Palpation of
the organs helped to assess for enlarged organs. Assessing neurovascularity of hands and feet demonstrate
any insufficiency of circulation of blood to the body's periphery.

What data did you use to base your decisions on for this patient assessment?
sh is
Student Response: Based on the intermittent chest pain x 1 month of Mr. Foster's chief complaint, that is
what directed the assessment. Other information including his current use of Lopressor for diagnosed stage II
Th
hypertension, family history of hypertension as well as the death of his grandfather from a heart attack also
helped foster direction. Mr. Foster's vital signs also were indicative of cardiovascular issues as his HR was 104
and his BP was still elevated to 149/90 even after he took his medications. Mr. Foster's use of Lipitor also
raised suspicion as high cholesterol can seriously contribute to cardiovascular diseases, sign and symptoms.
