A set of baseline vitals were also performed revealing a blood pressure of 124/80, pulse of 87 beats per minute, oxygen saturation of 99%, temperature of 97.3 degrees Fahrenheit, and respiration of 12 breaths per minute. The blood and metabolic panel exposed several abnormal labs. A red blood cell count of 3.99, white blood cell count of 22.5, hemoglobin of 10.9, hematocrit of 33.7%, sodium level of 13, potassium level of 3.1, carbon dioxide level of 10, creatinine level of 3.24, glucose level of 200, and a BUN level of 33 were the abnormal labs.

The degree of injury and loss of movement helps in making the decision to have surgery. The final total of a shoulder impingement surgery cost is dependent on a variety of factors.
The purpose of this clinical journal entry is to elaborate on the details of lab day three. On lab day three, we had check-off for blood pressure and apical pulse. In addition, we took a safety test, and learned about mobility, immobility, how to use ambulatory devices, and reposition (C#4, C#6). Since we will be going to the nursing home, it is imperative that we know how to correctly assist a client with their ambulation.
