ASSESSMENT:
55-year-old S.N. came to our clinical for his annual check-up. There are no current complaints.
His last yearly check-up showed no abnormal findings. His past check-ups were eye exam,
dental exam, Prostate screening, colonoscopy, lipid profile check-up, and B.P. and B.S.
screenings mother has hypertension and diabetes. His maternal grandfather had a history of
hypertension and BPH. On general and physical examination, there were no abnormal findings
noted.
Main Diagnosis
-1. ICD Z00.00- Annual checkup with no abnormal findings.
5
CDC recommends the performance of routine check-ups annually and lab testing to aid in
identifying any health disorders to facilitate early medications and management (CDC,2020).
The patient requires his annual check-up this year.
Preventative Service Task Recommended Screenings:
2. PSA screening-ICD 10 –CM Z12.5. This is essential for screening for malignant cancers of the
prostate.PSA screening is vital in all men above 50 years because of the risk of developing
prostate cancer (Catalona,2018). The patient is at risk of prostate cancer or BPH because of his
old age and a positive family history of BPH.
3. Update for immunization-ICD-10-CM-Z23-which is the encounter for immunization.CDC
recommends that every adult be given a single dose of Tdap and then Td or a booster for Tdap
after ten years (Hibberd,2020). Mr. SN has his immunization updated apart from Tdap.
4. Colonoscopy- ICD 10 -CM Z12.11, which is for encounter for screening for the malignant
cancers of the colon. Colonoscopy is a requirement for individuals above 50 years as it will help
in the early diagnosis of benign or malignant lesions in the rectum or the colon (Saito et
al.,2021).
5. Blood Pressure screening-ICD 10-CM Z01.30 is the encounter for assessing blood pressure
with no abnormal findings. B.P. should be regularly checked in adults above 50 years (Carey et
al.,2018). This patient is at risk of developing HTN because of the positive family of HTN.
6. Blood Sugar Screening- ICD 10-CM R73.09, the code for the HBa1c blood test. This will help
rule out diabetes mellitus and is a requirement for people above 45 years. The patient is at risk of
developing D.M. because of the positive family history.
6
7. Lipid profile Check-ICD 10-CM Z13.220 in assessing lipid metabolism errors, the cholesterol
and lipid-protein levels in the blood (Vijan & Elmore, 2020). CDC recommends that adults
above 20 years have cholesterol check-ups every five years (CDC,2020).
PLAN:
Investigations
-CBC- To investigate the white blood cell differentials, RBC, and platelet
-Urinalysis-To assess any abnormalities in the urine
-UECs-To assess the electrolytes
-Lipid tests-Helps in the assessment of the levels of LDL, cholesterol, T.G.s, and HDL
-ECG and ECHO- To assess the electrical activity of the heart and any heart disorders
-Renal function tests-To assess any kidney problems

S: SUBJECTIVE DATA (information the patient/caregiver tells you).
Chief Complaint (CC): a statement describing the patient’s symptoms, problems, condition, diagnosis, physician-recommended return(s) for this patient visit. The patient’s own words should be in quotes.
History of present illness (HPI): a chronological description of the development of the patient's chief complaint from the first symptom or from the previous encounter to the present. Include the eight variables (Onset, Location, Duration, Characteristics, Aggravating Factors, Relieving Factors, Treatment, Severity-OLDCARTS), or an update on health status since the last patient encounter.
Past Medical History (PMH): Update current medications, allergies, prior illnesses and injuries, operations and hospitalizations allergies, age-appropriate immunization status.
Family History (FH): Update significant medical information about the patient's family (parents, siblings, and children). Include specific diseases related to problems identified in CC, HPI or ROS.
Social History(SH): An age-appropriate review of significant activities that may include information such as marital status, living arrangements, occupation, history of use of drugs, alcohol or tobacco, extent of education and sexual history.
Review of Systems (ROS). There are 14 systems for review.

The ROS should mirror the PE findings section.
0: OBJECTIVE DATA (information you observe, assessment findings, lab results).
Sufficient physical exam should be performed to evaluate areas suggested by the history and patient's progress since last visit. Document specific abnormal and relevant negative findings. Abnormal or unexpected findings should be described. You should include only the information which was provided in the case study, do not include additional data.
Record observations for the following systems if applicable to this patient encounter (there are 12 possible systems for examination): Constitutional (e.g. vita! signs, general appearance), Eyes, ENT/mouth, Cardiovascular, Respiratory, GI, GU, Musculoskeletal, Skin, Neurological, Psychiatric, Hematological/lymphatic/immunologic/lab testing. The focused PE should only include systems for which you have been given data.
NOTE: Cardiovascular and Respiratory systems should be assessed on every patient regardless of the chief complaint.
Testing Results: Results of any diagnostic or lab testing ordered during that patient visit.
A: ASSESSMENT: (this is your diagnosis (es) with the appropriate ICD 10 code)
List and number the possible diagnoses (problems) you have identified. These diagnoses are the conclusions you have drawn from the subjective and objective data.
Remember: Your subjective and objective data should support your diagnoses and your therapeutic plan.
Do not write that a diagnosis is to be "ruled out" rather state the working definitions of each differential or primary diagnosis (es).
For each diagnoses provide a cited rationale for choosing this diagnosis. This rationale includes a one sentence cited definition of the diagnosis (es) the pathophysiology, the common signs and symptoms, the patients presenting signs and symptoms and the focused PE findings and tests results that support the dx. Include the interpretation of all lab data given in the case study and explain how those results support your chosen diagnosis.
P: PLAN (this is your treatment plan specific to this patient). Each step of your plan must include an EBP citation.
1. Medications write out the prescription including dispensing information and provide EBP to support ordering each medication. Be sure to include both prescription and OTC medications.
2. Additional diagnostic tests include EBP citations to support ordering additional tests
3. Education this is part of the chart and should be brief, this is not a patient education sheet and needs to have a reference.
4. Referrals include citations to support a referral
5. Follow up. Patient follow-up should be specified with time or circumstances of return. You must provide a reference for your decision on when to follow up.
