Describe another patient encounter you had with a patient with an infectious disease. (Do not use the patient’s real name.) Try using COVID-19 infection, at the hospitals we are using remdesivir if they are candidates for it, we do not use it if the patient is in severe hypoxia. We also use decadron 6 mg, and at times we are asking patients if they would consent to tocilizumab which is an experimental drug. Please research the medical literature and use EBP to answer the following questions. Subsequently, please write as if its your patient and how you are treating the patient and managing the disease. Thank you.
