Examination: Upon examination of her blog the text was noted to be very literary in nature and adequately demonstrated a wide vocabulary. However, I note that she thinks 3+ refers to some multiple of her original knee size. Assessment and Plan: Normal response from a lay person with no medical training. Proposed remedy: Plan to explain to patient that 3+ refers to a standardized scale, ranging from 1 to 3, to document the amount of swelling. To further clarify this matter I will explain that because 20mL of blood was drained from her knee it is in fact likely that her knee was only 2 times it's original size and not in fact three. Therefore this scale is clearly no referring to a multiplication in size of the stated body part, but rather the severity of swelling in the stated region. Thank you for allowing me to participate in the care and education of this enthusiastic young writer and I look forward to future encounters.
