Tutorial
Teresa, a 65-year-old woman, is brought to the emergency room by a friend who was unable to arouse Teresa completely. Her friend reports that Teresa had been unwell for three days with persistent vomiting. In the emergency room, Teresa is only semi-rousable. Her pulse is 130 and blood pressure is 100/70. Her breathing is rapid and deep. Teresa’s medical record indicates a history of poorly controlled diabetes and premature coronary artery disease, with a prior myocardial infarction at age 49. She is described as “treatment non-compliant” and is noted to have a “difficult psychosocial situation”.
