Multiple Choice

Did the patient in OPD7261 have difficulty breathing?

The key idea is reading the note about the patient’s breathing status. If the record clearly says the patient was breathing comfortably or shows no signs of respiratory distress, then there was no difficulty breathing, so the correct choice is No. This reflects an explicit statement or evidence in the case that dyspnea was not present. The other options don’t fit because they would require different documentation: Yes would mean the record notes shortness of breath or clear respiratory distress; Unsure would apply if the note didn’t provide enough information to judge the breathing status; Not stated would be used only if there was no mention at all about breathing status. Since the record indicates there was no difficulty breathing, No is the best answer.
