Scenario Joan is a 78-year-old female she

Scenario Joan is a 78-year-old female she needs her blood pressure medication refilled. You notice that she has not been in for 14 months. She has missed appointments on record, and that Joan has been calling for medication refills. During the last call, the office nurse told Joan that she would need to come in for a visit to obtain the refills. Joan’s medications at her last visit included Lisinopril/hctz 10/12.5 and simvastatin 20mg daily. Joan reports that she takes her blood pressure medication “most of the time” but doesn’t take the simvastatin regularly because her neighbor developed liver problems from it. She remembers that she was told she has a “touch of sugar.” She feels well but she wants to get checked out and wants to “get her act together” and start taking care of herself because her brother just found out that he has “clogged arteries.” She would like some help with quitting smoking as well. She also tells you that she had a “little heart attack” when she was 72. Objective Exam Findings: Height: 5’9″ Weight: 221 lbs.
