the emergency department for evaluation of a right foot injury and was admitted for IV
antibiotics. She is a good historian. She hurt the ball of her right foot by scraping it on the edge
of a metal step while changing a light bulb. The injury occurred about one week ago. Her pain
has worsened, and the swelling has persisted. She tried ibuprofen, but it didn't work well. The
foot feels better when she rests, and it hurts more when she walks on it. Her pain is a 9 when
she tries to ambulate. She took her temperature at home and reports it was 102. She has not
been eating much and has been staying in bed the last few days, per patient report. The scrape
is red and swollen with exudate and has no odor; she reports the swelling and exudate started
two days ago. She reports diarrhea overnight. Pain improved with oxycodone. Stomach upset.
Onset - When did your foot first start to hurt? - ANSWERS-Received scrape a week ago and the
pain got a lot worse in last few days.
