SUBJECTIVE: Mr. W.G. is 73 years old patient and was admitted to ICU from home

SUBJECTIVE: Mr. W.G. is 73 years old patient and was admitted to ICU from home on November 20 for COVID-19 Pneumonia (presented by SOB and weakness), which eventually required him to be intubated. On December 31, he was transferred to the ward with a tracheostomy. As of now, his Covid-19 Pneumonia was resolved, and the tracheostomy tube was removed since the patient no longer needed it. His vital signs were stable afterwards. He was in an NG tube, but insertion can sometimes cause him distress; that is why a PEG tube was inserted last January 05 that required a long discussion with her wife with the physician because she was against it at first. He has developed a stage III pressure ulcer in his coccyx on the unit but reported no pain. He has muscle weakness in his lower extremities (right and left leg); an indwelling catheter was inserted last January 07 and in diaper incontinence. Social History: He was retired, lives with his wife in a house, and has two children. He speaks English and is independent with ADLs before testing positive in Covid-19.
