You review the chart before entering the room to familiarize yourself with these patients. Both present today with complaints of pink eye. When you enter the room you note a Caucasian woman who appears to be about 40 years old. She is well groomed and appropriately dressed for the weather. There is a young girl standing near her mother reading the eye chart out loud to her mother. The girl is dressed in clean clothes and appears well groomed. Both smile in response to your greeting. You introduce yourself and state you are the nurse practitioner who will see them today for their visit. You begin your interaction as always by asking what brings them in today for the visit. Mom states “MaryKate has had a red eye for two days now. It started in her left eye and then I noticed it spread to her right eye this morning. She’s been complaining of it itching and burning. This morning I had to all this goop in my eye when I woke up and I noticed my eye looks red too. My four year old twins always have pink eye at their preschool so we came in to be checked. “ HPI: Mom describes herself and MaryKate as healthy. No recent illness for herself but states MaryKate is.
