Reаd the fоllоwing cаse scenаriо, as documented in a SOAP format. Then follow the directions. Chief Complaint "I've been getting headaches more often, and I just don't have the energy I used to." History of Present Illness James Carter is a 63-year-old White male who presents to a community health clinic with complaints of frequent headaches and increasing fatigue over the past three months. He states the headaches occur several times each week, are typically located in the back of his head, and are most noticeable after working long days. He has also noticed becoming short of breath while laying brick, carrying bags of mortar, or climbing scaffolding at work. He attributes his symptoms to "just getting older." Mr. Carter reports occasional swelling in both ankles at the end of the workday that improves overnight after resting. He denies chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, syncope, fever, chills, cough, wheezing, calf pain, or recent illness. He states that he has never established care with a primary healthcare provider: "I don't have insurance, so I just deal with things unless they're bad enough that I can't work." He recalls being told during a pre-employment physical approximately eight years ago that his blood pressure was elevated and that he should see a healthcare provider for further evaluation. Because he was asymptomatic, uninsured, and concerned about the cost of medical care, he did not seek follow-up. He has not had routine medical care or blood pressure monitoring since that time. Past Medical History No known chronic medical conditions No previous surgeries No prior hospitalizations Current Medications Ibuprofen 400 mg by mouth most evenings after work for chronic back and knee pain Allergies No known drug allergies Family History Father died from a myocardial infarction at 58 years of age. Mother had hypertension and died following a stroke in her early 70s. Older brother has hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Social History Mr. Carter graduated from high school. He has worked as a masonry laborer for more than 40 years. His job requires frequent heavy lifting, climbing scaffolding, kneeling, and prolonged standing. He lives alone in a rented mobile home and does not have health insurance. He reports avoiding routine healthcare because of the cost. He currently smokes 1½ packs of cigarettes per day and has smoked since age 18. He drinks 4 to 6 beers most evenings after work and often consumes more on weekends while watching sports on television. (Negative CAGE). He denies illicit drug use. Because of his work schedule and financial situation, he frequently eats fast food, canned soups, frozen meals, and other processed foods. He reports getting little formal exercise outside of work because he is exhausted by the end of the day. Review of Systems Constitutional:Reports fatigue.
