Reduced diet intake because of shortness of breath and vomiting.
Past medical history of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with frequent hospitalization.
Upon examination, Mr. Jonathan Neo appears loss weight and lethargic, his blood pressure was 141/88 mm of Hg, heart rate 122/minute, respiratory rate 29/minute, oxygen saturation ranging from 87 to 90% on room air, temperature 38.3 degree Celsius.
Mr. Jonathan Neo looks tensed and emotional about his current hospitalization. He always verbalized that “I want to go back to home now”.
