Vital Signs: HR:70 BP:122/77 Temp:98.5 RR:18
SpO2:98% Pain:8/10
Height: 5ft 8 inches Weight: 150lb. BMI: 22.81.
Physical Exam
General Survey: Patient afebrile , no chest pain , no breathing
problems or general weakness
A test indicated that patient had CVA tenderness upon
palpitation. There was a suprapubic tenderness on the patient. A
deep abdominal palpitation on the patient indicated tenderness.
Assessment
Diagnosis:
Assessment shows a clinical outcome of dysuria, suprapubic
tenderness, and frequency and urgency of urination which
indicates UTI (Sabih & Leslie, 2021). Noted no evidence of
vaginal discharge, so therefore not consistent with vaginitis
Differential:
1. 2. Pyelonephritis (ICD-9 code 590.80). Pain in the lower
abdomen especially increased due to urination. Pyelonephritis
got eliminated since the patient did not have myalgia, nausea,
vomiting, fever, or flank pain (Beahm et al., 2017
2. ). Overactive bladder (ICD 9-596.51). Suitable since patient
reports highly frequent urination. An overactive bladder got
eliminated since the urine dipstick gave a different result.
3. Vaginitis (ICD-9-616.10). Pain around the vagina area and
lower abdomen. Ruled after dip stick urine.
Diagnosis:

5. Assessment shows a clinical outcome of dysuria, suprapubic
tenderness, and frequency and urgency of urination which
indicates UTI (Sabih & Leslie, 2021). Noted no evidence of
vaginal discharge, so therefore, not consistent with vaginitis
Plan
Diagnostics/ Labs : To rule out UTI are urinalysis and uri ne
culture.
A dipstick urine test shows presence of nitrite and leukocyte
esterase
Treatment:
Double strength prescription of trimethoprim 160 mg and
sulfamethoxazole 800 mg 2 times daily for three days. Patient
can also take cranberry juice as studies has shown that it is very
good to treat UTI because of its acid base properties.
Education:
· Instruct patient to avoid spermicidal products that increase
risk of a UTI occurring.
· Teach patient to wipe the genital area from front to back after
urination to avoid getting bacteria from anus to her virgina
· Teach patient to adhere to all treatment directions
· Teach patient and make sure patient understands the course of
treatment which is 5 days, and to take all medication same time
each day.
· Teach patient on the importance of drinking minimum of eight
glasses of water per day. Add that this will help the body to
fight bacteria..
· Teach patient to always urinate after sexual intercourse since
that would flush out every bacterium from her urethra
· Teach patient to engage in physical exercises since this would
improve her wellbeing and connection to proactive physical
behavior. The patient should take note that both her parents
have hypertension and should thus get her blood pressure
reading taken during many intervals since this would allow
detection of hypertension.

6. · Teach patient to reduce sexual intercourse with her partner
especially since she is not aware if she is the only sexual
partner her boyfriend has.
· Teach patient to always get routine vaccination against
common illnesses since the technique would allow her to have
proper wellbeing and management of her condition. .
· Teach patient to make a timetable of taking water since such
fluids would increase urine and thus, that would flush out
bacteria through the urethra.
· Teach patient to avoid sexual intercourse during the time she
is taking medication to prevent any new infections. This will
prevent patient from further getting affected in their ability to
receive full bacterial treatment.
Follow Up And Recommendations
1. Return to the clinic within 7 days if symptoms persist.
2. Pap smear every 3 years for ages 21- 65.
3. Cranberry Juice can also be helpful it is rich in vitamin C and
potent immune system booster, studies indicate that it balances
the PH of the body with its acidic properties that helps fight
infection.
