LUKE'S MEDICAL CENTER RUSH UNIVERSITY RUSH RUSH ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE CENTER JOHNSON, Natalie December 3, 1998 EPI Home Visit 710 S. PAULINA STREET. b .~AkTH, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60612-3872.312.942.4463 I saw Mrs. Johnson in her home in Tinley Park on 12/2/98. She is cared for by her husband and son, Alan. Patient was dressed in a nightgown and sitting in her geri-chair in a large living room where she spends most of her day. She has a hospital bed, a commode, and a walker. She has a Foley catheter in place, which is the choice of her caregivers because it is easier to manage than her incontinency. She has had a few bladder infections this past year which have been treated successfully with Cipro. According to her husband, the patient has a history of blood clots and has a Richmond screen in place in her left femoral artery. She has a new physician, Dr. Kanashiro, with whom her husband and son are very pleased. Dr. Kanashiro ordered Aricept in 8/98, along with physical therapy. The family attributes a remarkable change in her ability to stand and ambulate, along with an increase in verbalization, directly to Aricept. Mini-Mental score was 1/30. Patient did not answer any of the questions appropriately, but did read aloud, "close your eyes" articulately and accurately; then, she did close her eyes. The Foley catheter is changed once a week by Ingall's Home Care, who also provide the PT services. The only medication she is on is Aricept 5 mg once per day. Height is 5'6" and weight is 134 lbs. Blood pressure was 126/80 and 120/84, both sitting; pulse was 76. General neurological examination is as follows. Patient has marked slowing throughout. She was very stiff and was unable to arise from the chair without help, and she was unable to stand without assistance. She was able to take steps with the walker with a one-person assist. Base of gait was narrow, and she tended to drag her left foot a bit. While standing, she maintained a very flexed hip and knee posture. She does have a history of left hip and knee replacements secondary to degenerative arthritis. Her left leg is noticeably shorter than the right. She does have about an 11/2" shoe lift built into the sole of her left shoe. She was unable to turn. The bradykinesia items were very difficult to test for. She is very stiff. She was able to mimic with her right hand, but didn't do anything with her left. She was able to perform the finger taps and the pro-sup movements with her right hand with mild slowing and reduction in amplitude. She showed no dysmetria. She was able to grasp for a pen with much coaching. She has a very slow reach. There was no action, postural, or rest tremor. She did not attend visually to peripheral movement. Nasolabial folds were symmetric. Speech was never above a whisper, but her words were articulate, and she was appropriate at times with her responses. She smiled frequently, but did show a slight abnormal diminution of facial expression. Rigidity was mild to moderate in the upper extremities, mild to moderate in the right lower extremity, and severe in the left lower extremity. Head and neck were moderately rigid. Gegenhalten was definitely present in both upper extremities. I was unable to test for upper extremity drift because she didn't JOHNSON, Natalie Page 2 comprehend/follow. Muscle stretch reflexes were present and symmetric in the brachial radialis, biceps, and triceps. Patellar reflex was definitely greater in the left, and Achilles were absent bilaterally. Babinski was equivocal bilaterally. Her feet were hypersensitive. She reacted normally to vibratory sensation in her right foot, but not in the left. Pain sensation was normal in the right foot and decreased in the left. She was alert and responsive throughout the exam, frequently smiled, and seemed to enjoy the interaction. We plan on seeing Mrs. Johnson again in one year. Lois Barton, RN, MPH Nurse Clinician /jm D~ fl~~CH~~/ --------------2F98C4E3060--
