Identifying Data
Ms. Jones is a pleasant 28-year-old, single, African American, female. She presents to the office

appears to be stable, and she does not appear to be in any distress. Her immediate and remote
memory appear to be intact. She appears to have good hygiene and is dressed appropriately for the
current weather and occasion.
Chief Complaint: "I got this scrape on my foot a while ago, and I thought it would heal up on
its own, but now it's looking pretty nasty. And the pain is killing me!"
History of Present Illness
Ms. Jones presents today for a physical examination and with report of a scrape to the ball of her
right foot. She reports that she obtained the scrape 1 week ago when she tripped going down the
stairs and scraped her bare foot on the edge of the step. She reports bleeding at the time of
injury, and shares that she has been washing the wound with soap and water twice daily
(morning and night), and that she has been using Neosporin prior to keeping it bandaged. She
added that she sometimes uses peroxide and then rinses the area when it is irritated. She reports
that the scrape is not healing on its own, "is not looking well", and is causing her pain. Her
current pain level is a 7/10, and she describes the pain as "throbbing" and "sharp" when weight is
applied. She reports that her entire right foot feels some pain, but the pain is the worst at the
center/ball of her foot. She added that the pain also radiates up her ankle. She has not been able
to walk due to this pain. She has been taking Tramadol 100 mg three times daily for pain, but
