If the patient has more than one complaint, each complaint should be listed separately (1, 2, etc.) and each addressed in the subjective and under the appropriate number.
2) Subjective Data (___30pts.): This is the historical part of the note. It contains the following: a) Symptom analysis/HPI(Location, quality , quantity or severity, timing, setting, factors that make it better or worse, and associate manifestations.(10pts). b) Review of systems of associated systems, reporting all pertinent positives and negatives (10pts). c) Any PMH, family hx, social hx, allergies, medications related to the complaint/problem (10pts). If more than one chief complaint, each should be written u in this manner.

Assessment Essential (Primary) Hypertension (ICD10 I10): Given the symptoms and high blood pressure (156/92 mmhg), classified as stage 2. Once the organic cause of hypertension has been ruled out, such as renal, adrenal or thyroid, this diagnosis is confirmed. Differential diagnosis: Renal artery stenosis (ICD10 I70.1) Chronic kidney disease (ICD10 I12.9) Hyperthyroidism (ICD10 E05.90) Plan Diagnosis is based on the clinical evaluation through history, physical examination, and routine laboratory tests to assess risk factors, reveal identifiable causes and detect target-organ damage, including evidence of cardiovascular disease. These basic laboratory tests are: • CMP • Complete blood count • Lipid profile • Thyroid-stimulating hormone • Urinalysis • Electrocardiogram Pharmacological treatment: The treatment of choice in this case would be: Thiazide-like diuretic and/or a CCB • Hydrochlorothiazide tab 25 mg, Initial dose: 25 mg orally once daily. Non-Pharmacologic treatment: • Weight loss • Healthy diet (DASH dietary pattern): Diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products with reduced content of saturated and trans l fat • Reduced intake of dietary sodium: <1,500 mg/d is optimal goal but at least 1,000 mg/d reduction in most adults • Enhanced intake of dietary potassium • Regular physical activity (Aerobic): 90–150 min/wk • Tobacco cessation • Measures to release stress and effective coping mechanisms. Education • Provide with nutrition/dietary information. • Daily blood pressure monitoring at home twice a day for 7 days, keep a record, bring the record on the next visit with her PCP • Instruction about medication intake compliance. • Education of possible complications such as stroke, heart attack, and other problems. • Patient was educated on course of hypertension, as well as warning signs and symptoms, which could indicate the need to attend the E.R/U.C. Answered all pt. questions/concerns. Pt verbalizes understanding to all Follow-ups/Referrals • Evaluation with PCP in 1 weeks for managing blood pressure and to evaluate current hypotensive therapy. Urgent Care visit prn. • No referrals needed at this time. References Domino, F., Baldor, R., Golding, J., Stephens, M. (2017). The 5-Minute Clinical Consult 2017 (25th ed.).
