NR 601 WEEK 1 GERITRICS PRACTICUM POST 2
You meet your first patient of the morning. A.K.
is a 65-year-old Caucasian male who you are seeing for the first time. Both
wife and daughter are present.
Background
He reports that he has had an 18 pound
unintentional weight loss in the last 2 months “I am just not hungry anymore,
and when I do eat, I get full so fast. In fact, it is really hard to eat, and I
don’t eat nearly as much as usual, even though I eat 3 times every day”. He
also reports feeling more tired than usual. “I am not sleeping very well. My
wife wakes me up when I am snoring, or when she thinks I am not breathing. I
used to have sleep apnea, but I don’t think I have it anymore. Besides, that
mask is so horrible to wear.” He reports day time somnolence. He reports that
he is at the clinic today because of his wife and daughter’s concern about his
weight loss and loss of appetite.8th
