DQ week 1 health assessment

A 50-year-old woman presents to the walk-in clinic for concerns about a possible urinary tract infection. The woman is 210 pounds/95.2 kg, allergic to penicillin, and states she has a history of periodic urinary tract infections. The woman indicates feeling slightly nauseated and feeling discomfort in her lower abdominal area that is difficult to localize. She describes a burning sensation with urination. The patient reports an oral temperature of 101.9F at home but the clinician records a temperature of 99.5F using the temporal artery method. Heart rate is 86, respirations 18, and blood pressure is 150/90.
