PASSAGE
A 72-year-old female is referred to physical therapy for generalized weakness and balance deficits after a recent hospitalization for pneumonia. Her past medical history is significant for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), hypertension, and type 2 diabetes. Her medication list includes lisinopril, furosemide, metoprolol, and metformin. During the subjective interview, she reports feeling unusually fatigued and notes a new, persistent, dry cough that started about a week ago. She denies fever, chills, or productive sputum. The systems review is otherwise unremarkable.
Based on this patient's history, which of the following is the MOST critical initial action for the physical therapist?
