ASSESSMENT:
Main Diagnosis
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 (Codina Leik, 2015). 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 (Domino et al,. 2017).
Differential diagnosis:
· Renal artery stenosis (ICD10 I70.1)
· Chronic kidney disease (ICD10 I12.9)
· Hyperthyroidism (ICD10 E05.90)
PLAN:
Labs and Diagnostic Test to be ordered:
· CMP
· Complete blood count (CBC)
· Lipid profile
· Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
· Urinalysis with Micro
· Electrocardiogram (EKG 12 lead)
Pharmacological treatment:
· Hydrochlorothiazide tab 25 mg, Initial dose: 25 mg orally
once daily.
· Lisinopril 10mg PO 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 log 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
· Follow up appointment 1 weeks for managing blood pressure
and to evaluate current hypotensive therapy.
· No referrals needed at this time.
