Symptom narrative

Within 5 minutes of receiving her HPV vaccine while seated, patient expressed that she felt lightheaded. RN advised her to put her head between her knees but before she could comply she had a syncopal event with tonic-clonic movements lasting about 45 seconds. She resumed consciousness and reported feeling very tired. She was moved by her father into a lying position on the exam table. Vital signs were taken noting a decrease in her blood pressure, patient reported feeling nauseated and continuing to feel lightheaded. Cool cloths were placed on her forehead and the back of her neck and an emesis bag was provided. At 15 minutes vital signs were rechecked and had returned to baseline, patient remained nauseated, tired, weak, and lightheaded. A juice box and a handful of crackers were placed at bedside, patient declined to eat/drink due to nausea. RN continued to monitor patient in 10-minute intervals with no change in symptoms, gave a dose of Zofran at 45 minutes per verbal order from Dr. Patient vomited at 60 minutes and immediately reported feeling better, nausea and lightheadedness resolved, patient ate some crackers and drank some water, tolerated both.
