2. Mang Mario a 37-year-old, male client came for consultation at the health center with the
chief complaint of fever with chills for a week. Accompanying symptoms were muscle
pains and body malaise on the lower extremities. A week after the start f the fever, the
client noted an orange discoloration of his sclera. History showed that she waded in
floodwaters about 2 weeks before the onset of the symptoms. He was admitted with a
diagnosis of Leptospirosis. The vital signs: A body temperature of 38.8 C, Pulse rate of
110 beats per minute, 20 breaths per minute, and Blood pressure of 100/70 mmHg.
