Documenting the patient encounter (PLO 5)  HPI: Ezra Garcia…

Documenting the patient encounter (PLO 5)  HPI: Ezra Garcia is a 29 y/o male patient with a past medical history of mild intermittent asthma who presents with the complaint of “difficulty sleeping lately.” This started approximately 3 months ago. He describes the problem as difficulty falling and staying asleep, often reporting that he can’t turn his mind off when he puts himself to bed at night. He rates this as a “8/10” in severity overall. He notes that the symptoms have been worsening since onset. He notes that he has been sleeping more than usual on weekends when he is off of work, but still feels tired during the day.  Pt shyly admits that this is only part of the reason for his visit today, as he is also experiencing “many other symptoms” most days of the week for the last 3 months that have concerned him. When asked about this, he shares that this also includes increased generalized fatigue, decreased motivation to work or exercise, difficulty concentrating, and decreased productivity at work. Furthermore, pt reports he has been feeling “down and just sad most days of the week” and notes a loss of interest in activities he previously enjoyed such as photography and working out.

Pt also reports feelings of guilt about missing work after calling out a few times over the last month and worries he is “letting people down”. He notes that he just couldn’t get himself out of bed to go to work during those times that he called out of work.  Overall, pt reports that his symptoms have begun to affect his job and social interactions over the last month, worrying that he may lose his job if he misses any more work. He reports he has declined invitations from friends over the past several weeks because he “doesn’t have the energy” to get out and see them. Pt reports fleeting thoughts of “wanting to end it all” once or twice over the last 3 months, but denies active suicidal or homicidal thoughts or ideations.

For the state space graph above, the node F is the start state and B is the goal state. An agent can move along states connected by edges in any direction (if X is connected to Y, the agent can move from X to Y and from Y to X), and edges are labeled with the cost to traverse them. What is the path returned by Uniform Cost Search (UCS)? Assume UCS uses alphabetical order to break ties in expansion priority and never expands the same node twice. In your final answer, list the nodes in the path returned by UCS. The first node must be the start state F and the last node must be the goal state B (e.g. Final answer: ).
