Admission Orders
|
| The following is an example of how orders are written to
admit a patient to the hospital. The goal is to meet the patient's basic
needs during the first hospital day and to initiate the investigation and
treatment of patient. After this section you will be given a patient's
history and physical and will be asked to write some specific orders.
The following is a typical blank order sheet. Please follow along as it is completed. The patient is a 76 year old male with nausea for 1 week. His only home medication is Vasotec (enalapril). His physical exam is significant for signs of dehydration, a mid-abdominal mass and generalized weakness. If you would like to have a complete version of this admission orders printed click here.
