Physical Exam

General Survey: Patient afebrile , no chest pain , no breathing problems or general weakness

A test indicated that patient had CVA tenderness upon palpitation. There was a suprapubic tenderness on the patient. A deep abdominal palpitation on the patient indicated tenderness.

Assessment

Diagnosis:

Assessment shows a clinical outcome of dysuria, suprapubic tenderness, and frequency and urgency of urination which indicates UTI (Sabih & Leslie, 2021). Noted no evidence of vaginal discharge, so therefore not consistent with vaginitis

Differential:

1. 2. Pyelonephritis (ICD-9 code 590.80). Pain in the lower abdomen especially increased due to urination. Pyelonephritis got eliminated since the patient did not have myalgia, nausea, vomiting, fever, or flank pain (Beahm et al., 2017

2. ). Overactive bladder (ICD 9-596.51). Suitable since patient reports highly frequent urination. An overactive bladder got eliminated since the urine dipstick gave a different result.

3. Vaginitis (ICD-9-616.10). Pain around the vagina area and lower abdomen. Ruled after dip stick urine.

Diagnosis:

Assessment shows a clinical outcome of dysuria, suprapubic tenderness, and frequency and urgency of urination which indicates UTI (Sabih & Leslie, 2021). Noted no evidence of vaginal discharge, so therefore, not consistent with vaginitis

Plan

Diagnostics/ Labs : To rule out UTI are urinalysis and urine culture.

A dipstick urine test shows presence of nitrite and leukocyte esterase

Treatment:

Double strength prescription of trimethoprim 160 mg and sulfamethoxazole 800 mg 2 times daily for three days. Patient can also take cranberry juice as studies has shown that it is very good to treat UTI because of its acid base properties.

Education:

· Instruct patient to avoid spermicidal products that increase risk of a UTI occurring.

· Teach patient to wipe the genital area from front to back after urination to avoid getting bacteria from anus to her virgina

· Teach patient to adhere to all treatment directions

· Teach patient and make sure patient understands the course of treatment which is 5 days, and to take all medication same time each day.

· Teach patient on the importance of drinking minimum of eight glasses of water per day. Add that this will help the body to fight bacteria..

· Teach patient to always urinate after sexual intercourse since that would flush out every bacterium from her urethra

· Teach patient to engage in physical exercises since this would improve her wellbeing and connection to proactive physical behavior. The patient should take note that both her parents have hypertension and should thus get her blood pressure reading taken during many intervals since this would allow detection of hypertension.

· Teach patient to reduce sexual intercourse with her partner especially since she is not aware if she is the only sexual partner her boyfriend has.

· Teach patient to always get routine vaccination against common illnesses since the technique would allow her to have proper wellbeing and management of her condition. .

· Teach patient to make a timetable of taking water since such fluids would increase urine and thus, that would flush out bacteria through the urethra.

· Teach patient to avoid sexual intercourse during the time she is taking medication to prevent any new infections. This will prevent patient from further getting affected in their ability to receive full bacterial treatment.

Follow Up And Recommendations

1. Return to the clinic within 7 days if symptoms persist.

2. Pap smear every 3 years for ages 21- 65.

3. Cranberry Juice can also be helpful it is rich in vitamin C and potent immune system booster, studies indicate that it balances the PH of the body with its acidic properties that helps fight infection.
