• Afebrile
• Mild tachypnea with mild shortness of breath
• Acrocyanosis
• Mild tachycardia
• History of smoking
• History of diabetes
• Moderately overweight
Based on the information given, have members of the group identify which system or systems of the body they would want to further investigate to determine why this individual has come to the emergency department. You have had some medical terminology already but may need additional help from the text, medical dictionary, or Website.
