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

-TSH-For assessment of any thyroid disorders.

Education

1. Continue monitoring any health changes, and for any threatening health conditions, call,911

2. Have a physical exercise plan at least exercise four times a week

3. Continue with his diet and maximize taking a balanced diet, more fruits and vegetables, and
