Results of labs done today: _Records requested from PCP, co-testing

PAP/HPV test completed with results pending. Declined HIV test due to
receiving one in June 2015 with annual lab work at PCP.

Assessment/Plan:
First Diagnosis: Gynecological exam for papanicolaou cervical smear_____ ICD-9:
V72.3 ____________
o

Additional teaching or comments: _Patient informed to allow two weeks

for Pap smear results and any abnormalities will be discussed at the
scheduled follow-up appointment. The patient was instructed to inform
office of any abnormal bleeding, discharge, new medical diagnosis, and
any other abnormal signs/symptoms. Furthermore, that her next cotesting (Pap smear/HPV) needs to be scheduled in five years if results
are normal, unless follow-up required concerning Pap results or other
abnormalities. Patient verbalized understanding and denies any
concerns/questions at this time._______

Second Diagnosis: Bacterial Vaginosis_____________________________ ICD9:616.1______________

o

Additional teaching or comments: Patient informed that she has

bacterial vaginosis (BV), which is not a sexually transmitted disease,
but caused by an alteration of normal vaginal flora in which loss of
lactobacilli results in a higher pH and overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria.

GCSU Revised Fall 2014

Page 10

Risk factors for BV include multiple sex partners, new sex partners,
shared sex toys, and douching. The patient was informed that
Metronidazole is used to treat bacterial vaginosis and alcohol should
not be consumed during and 24 hours after completion due to a
disulfiram effect which consists of flushing, nausea and vomiting. Other
side effects may include a metallic taste, nausea, headache, dry mouth
and dark-colored urine. The patient was instructed that if
signs/symptoms persist or worsen to contact the office immediately.
Patient verbalized understanding and denies any concerns/questions at
this time.
Third Diagnosis: Hypertension_______________ ICD-9:_401.9________________
Additional teaching or comments: Reinforced lifestyle modifications:
weight reduction, DASH eating plan, dietary sodium reduction, and
aerobic physical activity (150 min of moderate activity weekly). Patient
instructed on avoiding intake of saturated fats, excessive sugar, and
foods high in cholesterol, encouraged consumption of lean meats, fresh
fruits, and vegetables. Instructed on importance of taking blood
pressure medication every day, as well as taking blood pressure
readings. Patient educated on select target organ damage from
uncontrolled HTN (brain, eye, heart, kidneys). Discussed signs and
symptoms that are important to seek medical attention for unrelenting
HA, dizziness, blurred vision and any other unusual signs or symptoms.
She will continue with previously prescribed hypertension medication
by her PCP and was instructed to notify the office of any new diagnosis,
medications, and surgeries. Patient verbalized understanding and no
questions as this time.

Fourth Diagnosis: Obesity___________ ICD-9: 278.00_________________

o Additional teaching or comments: Reinforced lifestyle modifications:
low fat, high-fiber and low sodium diet, as well as lean meats, and
fresh/frozen vegetables, routine aerobic physical activity. Obtained a
diet history to identify patient eating patterns and explained the
impact of diet to a healthy lifestyle. Current BMI discussed, as well as a
mutual goal of weight loss was established by next office visit along
with the need for long-term maintenance after desired weight is
achieved. Recommended dietary guidelines were covered and safe
weight loss practices. Currently, the patient refused weight-reduction
program. The patient verbalized understanding and will contact the
office if she has further questions.
