She met with the veteran five times since January 2022, with numerous calls to his residence. She worked tirelessly on his plan of care to decrease his edema.
Chloe has been working with a specific veteran on the improvement of edema and medication adherence for four months. She met with the veteran five times since January 2022, with numerous calls to his residence. She worked tirelessly on his plan of care to decrease his edema. The veteran started out with 3+ pitting edema, hypertension, and shortness of breath. Chloe worked alongside the provider to ensure medication changes/adjustments and teach the importance of adherence to nebulizer treatment and fluid restrictions. She educated, coached, and encouraged the veteran on dietary and lifestyle modifications to lose weight and improve his fluid retention.
The veteran and his spouse fell under hard times and didn’t have a vehicle, so Chloe placed beneficiary travel for each visit; community providers educated the veteran on the importance of completing an echocardiogram and Holter monitoring that are necessary to track progress. The veteran has now lost 25 pounds, improved his blood pressure to 120s/70s, and has no shortness of breath. He reports less stress and a new, improved outlook on life!
