4. Imagine you are a nurse processing a patient. The patient arrived to you complaining of chest pain that has
been occurring off and on for the last two days. When they remove their shirt, you see a two-inch diameter
purple bruise right below their collarbone, near their heart. Write how you would enter this information into
an electronic medical record, including both the subjective and objective measurements.

Answer :

Answer:

When does the pain occur? Is it during a particular time of the day or in a specific position, such as lying down? Do they experience shortness of breath at rest or with activity?  

Do they experience chest pain with breathing normally or when they attempt to take a deep breath?  Does it hurt when barely touched? On a scale from 0-10, how bad is the pain? Does the person have a history of headaches? Have they become clumsier lately, or have they noticed a change in their coordination? Do they have any numbness or tingling when touching the bruise? Have they had any difficulty swallowing or speaking? Do they play contact sports or work in an area where they may hit their chest?  

Explanation:

This is what I put, I don't know if it's right sorry!
