Adult Male Physical Exam Screenings
- Screen for HLD, HTN, T2DM, colon cancer, and substance abuse.
- HLD screening starts at age 35 for men, 45 for women with fasting lipid panels every 5 years.
- BP should be screened annually for patients over 18 with readings >120/80, every 2 years if <120/80.
Diabetes and Colon Cancer Screening
- Diabetes screening recommended at age >45, or with BMI >25, or BP >135/80 if <45.
- Colon cancer screening begins at age 50 with annual FOBT or colonoscopy every 10 years for ages 50-75.
CAGE Alcohol Screening
- CAGE questions assess history of alcohol use:
- Cut Down
- Annoyed
- Guilty
- Eye Opener
- Positive response requires alcohol cessation support.
AAA and Immunization Guidelines
- AAA screening via abdominal ultrasound for men aged 65-75 who have smoked.
- Adult immunizations include Tetanus (Td or Tdap every 10 years), Meningococcus, Hepatitis B, Pneumococcus, Influenza (annual), Hep A, and Zoster (after 60).
Statin Guidelines
- High-intensity statins: Atorvastatin 80 mg, Rosuvastatin 20 mg.
- Recommended for adults >40 with LDL >70 and ASCVD risk >7.5%.
Osteoarthritis Management and Post-Op Orders
- Nonoperative treatment: weight loss, physical therapy and directed exercise focused on quadriceps.
- Post-op orders for TKA include DVT prophylaxis (LWMH) and physical therapy.
Alcoholic Hepatitis Diagnosis and Treatment
- Diagnosed with elevated AST/ALT ratio (typically 2:1), jaundice, fever, and abdominal pain.
- Treatment is supportive with IV fluids and abstinence; corticosteroids for severe cases.
Evaluating and Treating Childhood Conditions
- Well-child checks at specific milestones; assess growth, development, and behavioral issues.

- Unstable angina presents as chest pain at rest; managed with MONA BASH protocol and potential PCI.
Work up for Fatigue and Anemia
- Fatigue in the elderly requires CBC, TSH, BMP, and heme occult stool eval.
- Microcytic anemia requires ferritin and iron studies; positive heme-occult tests necessitate endoscopy/colonoscopy.
Risk Factors for Adenocarcinoma
- Risk factors include alcohol and tobacco use, obesity, insulin resistance, and high red meat consumption.
Breast Cancer Workup and Imaging Guidelines
- For palpable breast masses in women >40, diagnostic mammography is essential.
- Following ductal carcinoma confirmation, order liver enzymes, HER-2 status, and lymph node biopsies, avoiding routine metastasis imaging.
Acute Otitis Media
- First-line treatment is amoxicillin for 10 days; if previously used, Augmentin is preferred.
