Headache and Cough in a Pregnant Patient x 3 days
Activity
Clinical Skills Sessions
You are working with a community family physician who works in their clinic and the emergency department at an academic centre in St. Catharines. You are early in your clerkship and haven’t completed your Obstetrics/Gynecology core rotation yet. The clinic is able to do in-house ECGs and Urine dipsticks. They can send a requisition for bloodwork and chest x-ray, completed offsite. Your first patient is Vanessa, a 35 year-old G2P0 patient who is 28 weeks pregnant with exercise-induced asthma and normal prenatal course to date, last seen for prenatal care at 24-weeks where she was sent for a gestational diabetes screen that was normal. She is taking a prenatal vitamin with 1mg folic acid daily. Your clinic is following her for prenatal care within a shared care model for her pregnancy, with an obstetrician in St. Catharines following her with a plan to deliver at Niagara Health St. Catharines hospital. You were due to see her in follow-up later this week (for her 28-week visit) but she has been scheduled as an urgent visit today for headache and cough x 3 days.
