NOTES FROM i-HUMAN ASSESSMENT:
1) Observations: warm and sweaty
2) Chief complaint: Nausea and fatigue
QUESTIONS: (ask the patient up to 100 questions)
1) How can I help you today? "I went to see my doctor this morning because I have been
feeling bad for the past few days. I'm tired, with nausea & vomiting. Well, he
examined me and ordered some labs, and then told me that "kidneys are failing,"
something about a big change in my creatinine and that I needed to come to the
emergency department. He told me to bring the test results here with me. [Test results
today: creatinine 3.2 mg/dL; 1 month ago Test results 1.1 mg/dL; urine protein = 400
mg microalbuminuria] Do you understand what all that means? I sure don't!"
2) Do you have any other symptoms or concerns we should discuss? I also feel
exhausted, probably from all the vomiting and not eating.
3) When did your nausea start? It started three days ago, I woke up feeling nauseous
and started throwing up everything I ate.
4) What are the events surrounding this start of your nausea and vomiting? Nothing
really happened that I can think of.
5) Do you have difficulty breathing? Uh… no.
6) When do you fatigue start? Just the last few days.
7) Do you have a problem with fatigue/tiredness? Yup
8) Does your fatigue come and go? No.

peeing less recently
13) Does anything make your fatigue/tiredness better or worse? No.
14) Do you have pain anywhere? If so where? I hurt my back last week, but that's fine
now.
15) Have you noticed swelling in any part of your body? No
16) Can you tell me about any current or past medical problems she had? I have high
blood pressure. I take medications for that. I was told last month my blood pressure
has caused some kidney damage. Something about my protein in my urine. Oh, about
a week ago I pulled my back lifting a heavy carton when I was cleaning out my
garage. It was pretty painful so I took something for the pain. My back is really pretty
good right now, but then this nausea vomiting began.
17) Any previous medical, surgical, or dental procedures? Yes. I had my tonsils out as a
kid and then my appendix out about 35 years ago now.
18) What treatments have you had for the pain in your back? Just Naproxen.
19) Are you taking any prescription medications? I take lisinopril, metoprolol, and
hydrochlorothiazide for BP. I have not taken anything for the last 24 hours because I
feel so sick, can’t keep the pills down.
20) Do you have any pain in your back? Not anymore
21) When you urinate, have you noticed any pain, burning, blood, difficulty starting or
stopping, dribbling, incontinence, urgency during day or night, or any changes in
frequency? Uh, no. In fact, I am barely peeing at all.
22) When are the events surrounding the start of your difficulty urinating? That’s not a
problem for me.
23) When you pee, is a stream or flow of urine weak or do you dribble? No
24) Do you have problems with nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, coffee
grounds in your vomit, dark tarry stool, bright red blood in your bowel movements,
early satiety or bloating? Yes, I have already told you about my nausea and vomiting.
But none of the other stuff. My poop is normal
25) How severe is your nausea and/or vomiting? I have not eaten much of anything in
the last three days, so I am not sure how to answer that question. Vomiting is and
miserable business so for me it is bad.
26) Does anything make your nausea and/or vomiting better or worse? It does get
worse when I eat, that's why I haven't eaten much.
27) What treatments have you had for nausea and/or vomiting? Nothing

was worried about that.
