SOLVED1821

A patient with terminal carcinoma of the sigmoid colon with metastases to the liver was admitted to the hospital with hypotonic dehydration. The patient’s dehydration was deemed by the attending physician to be due to the malignancy. The dehydration was the focus of the treatment with intravenous therapy, but the patient was also treated for hyponatremia and the patient felt relief from his symptoms. Chemotherapy had been recently discontinued after discussions with the patient about its ineffectiveness in curing his disease and how sick the treatment made the patient feel. During the hospital stay, the patient and his family agreed to palliative care only, which was ordered along with an order to “do not resuscitate”. The patient was discharged to home to consider electing hospice services. Principal diagnosis: _________________ Secondary diagnoses: ________ _______ _______ ________ ________
