room air. Patient reports pain in the right ankle, 2/10.

General Survey: Alert, oriented X 4 (can also write it out if you want as oriented to person, place,
and time. If abnormal could write something like-oriented to person only OR oriented to person
and place, not oriented to time, believes it is 1996). Speech is clear and appropriate. Upright
posture, good hygiene. Positive affect (affect is how the patient appears to others), states she is in

contradict each other).

rs e
clean and intact or if they are missing teeth in an area state that.) Uvula midline, tongue straight.
ou urc
No difficulty swallowing. Nose with discharge, nares patent, no deviations noted. Ears are
aligned with eyes, no excess cerumen or discharge seen in external canal, no lesions, able to hear

negative. Full range of motion of neck, arms, and legs. Strength 5/5 in all extremities (this is a
sh

subjective measurement as 5/5 will vary from person to person-like a strong male vs an average
female; think of 1/5 as being extremely little ability to press against you and then increasing
effort from there but a normal person would be 5/5. It is also a comparison as one side may be
weak and other normal). Able to detect light touch throughout. Radial, brachial, popliteal,
posterior tibial, dorsalis pedis pulses all 2+ and symmetric. Biceps, triceps, brachioradialis,
patellar reflexes 2+ bilaterally, negative Babinski, no ankle clonus.
