Scenario: A patient presents to the emergency room with shortness of breath and lower leg edema. Chest x-ray shows pulmonary vascular changes, cardiomegaly and pleural effusions. Lab results showed an elevated BNP. The patient was treated with Lasix intravenously and then admitted to inpatient status with a diagnosis of acute on chronic systolic heart failure. In the second day’s progress note, it is documented the patient developed hematuria and dysuria during the night. The patient has a history of UTIs. A urinalysis is completed and the patient was found to have a urinary tract infection for which the patient is placed on antibiotics. What is the correct POA indicator for the diagnosis of history of urinary tract infections (Z87.440)?
