Does the patient have fever or chills? Fever and chills that accompany abdominal pain are suggestive of an intra-abdominal infection. Check the record of temperature since admission. Also check the medication sheet for antipyretic or steroid use; remember that fever may be masked by the administration of these medications.

If the patient has a history of peptic ulcer, check for the presence of a new one.
A well-tolerated alternative two-drug regimen is tenofovir (TDF), 300 mg PO daily plus emtricitabine (FTC), 200 mg PO daily (available as a combination tablet, Truvada) with food. The preferred expanded three-drug regimen includes one of the basic two-drug regimens plus lopinavir/ritonavir (200/50 mg), 2 capsules twice a day (available as a combination tablet, Kaletra).

A JVP of 2 to 3 cm H2O above the sternal angle is normal in adult patients. A significantly volume-depleted patient has flat neck veins, which may fill only when the patient is placed in the Trendelenburg position. A volumeoverloaded patient usually has an elevated JVP of >3 cm above the sternal angle. Listen for an S3. A third heart sound (S3) is most often associated with the volume-overloaded state and is best heard with the patient in the left lateral position. 3╇ •â•‡ Assessment and Management of Volume Status A 13 Level of venous pulsation Level of sternal angle B Level of right atrium Figure 3–2╇ Measurement of jugular venous pressure.
