Document Content and Description Below

Setting Large urban city family practice clinic which employs physicians and nurse practitioners. Today is another busy in your family practice clinic. You note your next visit is a work in for ear... pain. The patients are a set of four year old twins. The entire family has been coming to the clinic for years which is probably why they were worked in despite your full schedule. You review the chart before entering the room to familiarize yourself with these patients. 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 are also two boys who appear to be about 4 years old who are sitting on the exam table playing games on their tablets and chatting to each other. You introduce yourself as you always do and ask what brings them to the clinic today. The mother states “Tommy woke up in the middle of the night saying his ear hurt so badly it woke him up. He says it hurts to touch. Paddy has had a cold for a few and been talking about his ears popping and feeling stuffy. I thought it was just the cold. He woke up this morning and said his ear really hurts too. He also feels warm to me” HPI Mom describes the boys as overall healthy and active 4-year-old children. Their older sister just got over a cold. The rest of the family has been well but Mom noticed she has a sore throat this morning and asks if you can look at her too as long as they are here. Her throat has hurt since yesterday, and hurts worse when she swallows. She has not eaten or drank anything because it hurts too much. PMH Paddy: age 4.
