Ms Martin, who is recuperating from angioplasty, request home visit for further care and evaluation from your service, following the discharge.
On 15 July 2017, Ms Martin admitted to Greenville Public Hospital with Conplaints of angina and diagnosed with coronary artery disease. Post-operatively, able to tolerate fluids and light diet. Although, bruising at catheter insertion was present, no signs of infection or bleeding were noticed. Therefore, feels anxious to return home and finds difficult to cope with the current situation.

In addition, overweight has observed along with family history of coronary heart disease. Hearing aid is used due to hearing loss and anxious about health. In 2008, underwent angioplasty.
