There were some questions that I wouldn't usually ask but that gave useful information of an actual problem and a potential problem. I would usually ask if her joints were stiff and painful, but not red and swollen. Giving me information about whether potential problems in the future with endocrine therapy. I would ask about mouth dryness and ulcers but not about eyes . Useful however for minimising side effects of chemotherapy. The question r egarding skin rashes recently was a no but she volunteered carrying the Herpes Virus important for immunosuppressed patients. I would not usually ask about cold blue fingers nor gout but pain in back and neck and any forms of arthritis. Having this extra information allowed me to identify actual problems and then potential problems to create a care plan for my patient. elaine_arnold https://padlet.com/elaine_arnold/l8u78pp86rgp/wish/157756219 2017-03-04 02:07:56 UTC https://padlet.com/elaine_arnold/l8u78pp86rgp/wish/157756219
