Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A pulmonary specialist's report would typically be found in the consultation sheet, as this is where specialists' opinions and recommendations are documented after being called in by another physician. The progress sheet would show ongoing updates on the patient's condition, the physician's orders would show current treatments prescribed, and the history and physical exam would contain the initial assessment of the patient's symptoms and condition.
