After 5 minutes of discussion, the physician makes a same-day in-office appointment for the patient to perform a more comprehensive evaluation. During the visit, the patient reports a cough and shortness of breath with a low-grade fever. The patient does not have a fever, other vital signs are stable, and pulse oximetry on room air is 97%. Lung sounds with mild wheezing in the bases of the right lobe. The physician orders a chest x-ray which shows early pneumonia.
