Discussion 

What would you expect breath sounds may be like (document this in EHR)?

What would you expect skin condition/lower extremities to be like (document this in EHR)?

What interventions would you perform (safety, patient care, medication, etc)

What else are you concerned about when assessing?

Think about questions to ask the patient so you have a better report to give to consulting providers if they call

What does each medication do?  Would you hold any?

Additional assessment to document in EHR:

GI – bowel sounds in all quadrants, soft non-tender

GU – noted this in urinal
