A/P: 90 y/o man c h/o CHF, peritoneal carcinomatosis admitted with SBP, now with severe C-diff colitis.
1. C-diff colitis: - Pt continues to have high stool output. - WBC trending down now, continue with PO vanc with increased dose and dc flagyl per ID recs. Appears
stable currently, no signs of tox megacolon. Monitor closely.
2. Acutely decompensated systolic heart failure:- Pt initially diuresed aggresively however diuretics dc'd 2ndary to concern for volume depletion as pt became
hypotensive. - Now appears to be volume overloaded, very delicate balance given CHF and on-going GI losses 2ndary to c-diff. - Will resume low-dose
hydralazine for afterload reduction and schedule lasix IV q 24hours. - Afib - Heart rate improved - monitor. - Monitor vitals q4. Strict I/O's.
3. F/E/N- Very poor Po intake currently, likely 2ndary to multiple acute issues. - Pt started on supplements per nutrition recs. Will likely need to discuss enteral
feeding options with family given severity of malnutrition. - Continue to aggresively replete K. Will replete Phos IV.
4. Recent SBP- S/p course of Abx, repeat paracentesis w/o evid of infection.- Monitor. No further Abx at this time, will discuss need for prophylaxis with ID.
5. Peritoneal carcinomatosis: - Unknown etiology at this time. - Urine cytology negative. - Previous peritoneal cytology suspicious for CA, will likely repeat diagnostic
paracentesis once more stable. May need U/S marking if ascites improves with diuretics.

ASSESSMENT & PLAN: 90 Y.O. CAUCASIAN MALE WITH SUSPECTED MALIGNANT ASCITES ADMITTED TO THE SERVICE FOR SEPSIS 2/2 SPONTANEOUS
BACTERIAL PERITONITIS.
1. SEPSIS: 2/2 SBP E.COLI & E.FAECALIS
- Continue Vancomycin 1G IV Q12 HRS, Imipenem 500MG IV Q6 HRS for now
- Hold albumin given elevated BNP levels.
2. PERITONEAL CARCINOMATOSIS (?): UNKNOWN ETIOLOGY
- Diagnostic tap to be done yesterday, patient provided consent; patient's son notified by phone- left a voicemail. However, when we attempted to perform the
procedure, the patient appeared confused about our intent and declined the procedure. We did not feel comfortable proceeding with the paracentesis as the
patient was insistent upon us not withdrawing fluid from his abdomen and was actively guarding his abdomen with his hands.- Per the cross-cover resident, after we left for the
day, the patient's son arrived at the bedside and was very upset about us having not performed the procedure. Dr. has spoken in depth (~1 hour over the phone) with one
of the patient's daughters this morning to explain the rationale behind not proceeding with the diagnostic paracentesis at that time.- Will re-attempt diagnostic paracentesis
tomorrow with patient's daughter present.
3. ELEVATED BNP: >13,000- CXR, diuresis today with Lasix 40MG IV x 1 now: will monitor Is & Os, reassess and diurese again as needed - All anti-HTN/CHF meds currently

Keeping Track of Patient Data
• Have a system for tracking Labs,
Radiology, Medications, etc
– Cards
– Templates
• Have a system for a daily checklist
– Signout sheets
– To-Do list
Helpful Tips for Inpatient Wards
• Orders:
– Everything is done through CPRS
– Enter the orders, and they print where the
patient is located (9th floor, ER)
– PAIN MEDS PRN (Tylenol, tramadol, etc), sliding
scale insulin, DVT ppx
– NEVER assume the nurse will realize you put in
orders as soon as you enter them
– Best to communicate with nurses what you
need done
• AM labs:
• Don’t forget to order them the day before
• “Lab Collect = 3 am”
• Medications:

The rest of these slides will go
into detail about using our
charting system. Best way to go
about this is to have this
powerpoint open while you’re
here at the VA getting used to
CPRS.

CONSULTS
It is customary to also
CALL physician
consultants.
Asking for a consult
takes practice.
Be clear, specific, and
concise in your
request.
For Non-physician
consultants (PT, OT,
speech) I usually don’t
call unless it is an
urgent consult or
something very
specific that needs to
be conveyed.
SURGERY
• Lists dictated surgery notes
• Detailed description of everything that
occurred, from anesthesia, positioning,
surgical approach/technique, nursing
documentation
