Adrian Scholtz Part 1
Activity
Tutorial
Adrian Scholtz is a 33 yr old male patient presenting at the Shelter Medical Outreach centre. He complains of a dry cough, fever, shortness of breath and worsening fatigue. He was seen at a walk-in clinic a few days ago for similar symptoms. He states he underwent testing for influenza A and COVID, but did not stay around to see what the results were. Adrian was encouraged to take Tylenol and rest, but did not receive any antibiotics or other treatment. Past medical history includes intravenous drug use, mechanical valve replacement (3 years ago), and is a current smoker. Concerned that Adrian appears quite sick, the medical clinic staff arranges for Adrian to be sent to the local ER department for evaluation.
