No plagarism
John Tucker, a 49-year-old truck driver, has a history of
hypercholesterolemia and hypertension. In addition, he was recently
told that he has chronic bronchitis after a visit to his provider
for follow-up on a hacking, longstanding cough that is worse in the
morning. John takes cholestyramine (Questran) daily for his
elevated cholesterol and atenolol (Tenormin) for hypertension. He
smokes 2 packs per day and consumes a six-pack of beer every day or
two. On occasion, he takes Mylanta for indigestion and "a sour
stomach." John is seen today at your Quick Care Clinic because his
cough has worsened. It is accompanied by productive yellow sputum
and a temperature of 102.2° F (39° C). He states he is allergic to
penicillin. It made him sick to his stomach. The physician begins
him on azithromycin (Zithromax). When you approach John about
smoking cessation, he abruptly tells you that he's not interested.
John tells you that he had a friend who was hospitalized with
pneumonia, requiring intravenous antibiotics. John is taking
atenolol for his hypertension. After completing his antibiotic
course of therapy, John returns to the clinic for follow-up. While
he reports his fever and productive cough are gone, he tells you
that he can't sleep because of an intense hacking cough,
particularly at night. He is given a 3-day prescription for
chlorpheniramine and hydrocodone (Tussionex), a schedule III
antitussive.
