A detailed physical assessment of a 69-year-old male patient admitted to the geriatric ward with a diagnosis of upper gi bleeding secondary to bleeding peptic ulcer disease. The assessment covers various body systems, including the cardiovascular, respiratory, abdominal, and central nervous systems. The findings indicate the patient's overall health status, with notable observations such as pale appearance, hyperactive bowel sounds, and joint pain. This comprehensive assessment provides valuable insights into the patient's condition and can inform the development of an appropriate care plan.
