Hi Miss Henderson, My name is danielle, I will be your provider today
|
Greet |
 |
Hey.
|
|
|
What brings you in today?
|
Question |
|
I’ve had to pee a lot lately. It burns when I pee, and it looks weird. I thought it would go away on its own, but it hasn’t. So I was like, fine, I need to see someone. [AUDIO COMING SOON]
|
|
|
I’m sorry that you’re experiencing pain and burning during urination. I’ll try to find a medication that will help alleviate these symptoms.
|
Empathize |
|
Thanks.
|
|
|
How long have you had these symptoms?
|
Question |
|
Three days ago, I started feeling pretty bad. I kept having to pee, and each time I did, it burned. It was gross, too. The pee looked different. [AUDIO COMING SOON]
|
|
|
any other symptoms?
|
Question |
|
Other than the pain and burning, I have a little bit of cramping in my lower abdomen. [AUDIO COMING SOON]
|
|
|
where is the pain?
|
Question |
|
It hurts the most when I pee, right where it comes out. It’s this burning, stinging feeling.
|
|
|
do the urine have an odor?
|
Question |
|
It smells really strong. It’s basically rank. It’s also, like, dark . . . cloudy.
|
|
|
how bad does it hurt (Clarified to How painful is urinating?.)
|
Question |
|
It burns every time I pee and I am really not OK with how much pain I’m in. I’d call it a 7 out of 10. (Clarified to how painful urinating is.)
|
|
|
any factors that make it worse? (Clarified to What aggravates the pain?.)
|
Question |
|
Well, it burns every time I pee, so peeing makes the pain worse, I guess. (Clarified to what makes my pain worse.)
|
|
|
what do you do to relieve the pain?
|
Question |
|
Since it only burns and stings when I pee, I thought maybe it would hurt less if I didn’t pee so much. I tried drinking less water, but I’m not sure how much good it’s doing.
|
|
|
I know that you tried to alleviate your symptoms by not drinking fluids; you should try to stay hydrated by drinking more water and avoiding drinks that irritate the bladder such as soda coffee or alcohol
|
Educate |
|
Yeah, OK.
|
|
|
When was the last date of intercourse (Clarified to When did you last have sex?.)
|
Question |
|
I had sex with this guy like four days ago. We’ve had a pretty regular thing for a couple of months. (Clarified to when my last sexual encounter was.)
|
|
|
do you urinate after sex?
|
Question |
|
Oh . . . I guess I didn’t know you were supposed to.
|
|
|
Urinating after sex helps lower the risk of UTIs by clearing the urinary tract of any bacteria. Making this a regular habit might decrease your chances of getting a UTI again in the future
|
Educate |
|
Hm. Alright.
|
|
|
Any past medical condition?
|
Question |
|
Besides what I’m here for now, I’m pretty healthy, honestly.
|
|
|
do you have any allergies?
|
Question |
|
I have seasonal allergies in spring and summer. I don’t know to what exactly, but my eyes itch, my throat gets scratchy, I get a stuffy nose, and all that fun stuff.
|
|
|
do you take any for you allergies?
|
Question |
|
I just take these antihistamines ahead of time so I don’t get symptoms. It’s loratadine.
|
|
|
what dosage do you take? (Clarified to How much loratadine do you use at once?.)
|
Question |
|
It’s a pill that’s 10 milligrams a day. (Clarified to what dosage the loratadine is.)
|
|
|
do you miss doses
|
Question |
|
I never miss doses. I just take all my pills in the morning together, and they’re all once a day, so it’s easy. And with my birth control, I can track it with the click pack.
|
|
|
do you take any other medications
|
Question |
|
I don’t know if it qualifies as medication, but I took some cranberry supplements cause apparently they help with UTIs, which I figured I had when my pee started burning.
|
|
|
do you cranberry pills help (Clarified to Are the cranberry pills effective?.)
|
Question |
|
I don’t know . . . I’ve heard you’re supposed to take them for UTIs, but it’s been three days and nothing’s gotten better. And I even took two at a time. I don’t know the dosage, but regardless, you’d think they’d be doing something. (Clarified to if the cranberry pills are effective.)
|
|
|
Cranberry pills aren’t an effective treatment against UTIs. In the future when you notice these symptoms contact a healthcare provider sooner so that you can receive medication that will be more effective treatment
|
Educate |
|
Thank you. That makes sense.
|
|
|
any medication allergies?
|
Question |
|
Actually, now that you mention it, I’m hypersensitive to penicillin.
|
|
|
what is you reaction to penicillin (Clarified to What type of reaction do you have to penicillin?.)
|
Question |
|
My penicillin reaction is pretty bad. I get a red, itchy rash, and I get all sick to my stomach and throw up a lot. (Clarified to what my reaction to penicillin is.)
|
|
|
do you use any illicit substances
|
Question |
|
I tried weed at a party at my first semester here, but I just didn’t like it. I never bothered with it again after that. But before you say anything, no, I’ve never touched tobacco.
|
|
|
do you drink
|
Question |
|
I usually drink one or two nights a week, depending on if there’s good parties or not. But I never have more than a drink or two. Gotta keep my brain right so I can take over the world.
|
|
|
do you practice safe sex
|
Question |
|
Uh, I always use protection. I take birth control and I use those spermicidal condoms.
|
|
|
good, practice sex safe with partners of all genders in order to minimize the risk of STIs
|
Educate |
|
Thanks for the info.
|
|
|
any family history of illness
|
Question |
|
My dad’s really healthy. My mom’s a breast cancer survivor. She’s fine now, though. Totally cancer free. My Nana — that’s my Mom’s mom — died of it, though.
|
|
|
I’m sorry that your mother had breast cancer. That must have been a difficult thing for your family to go through. I’m glad that she is OK and that you and your sister are are not at risk
