nursing student here too, my guesses:

1. i would check pt CBC: WBC, segs, band - infection?

2. allergic reaction - new med? or post-surgical complication if any performed?

3. cellulitis? or PVD? check for meds: coumadin, ASA, INR, PT, APTT?

that are my ideas. at least hope something apply to your cases. good luck with your school. :)

Our teacher kinda went w/ our guesses of pneumonia, drug abuse, and cellulitis and the nursing interventions that we provided. One guy has been an ER tech for a long-time so he was able to provide the most meaningful info from our group.
