Section 1: Case Overview & Problem Statement
Case Problem Statement
This patient is a 56-year-old female presenting to an outpatient clinic with laboratory
capabilities for a blood pressure recheck. She has a known history of hypertension and is
returning to assess her current blood pressure control. The encounter involves a
comprehensive evaluation of her cardiovascular risk factors, medication adherence,
lifestyle factors, and end-organ damage assessment. The clinician must determine
whether her blood pressure is adequately controlled, identify contributing factors to any
persistent elevation, and formulate or adjust an evidence-based management plan.
Case Context
This i-Human Case Week 4 is set in an outpatient clinic with laboratory capabilities. The assignment is
in Learning Mode — feedback appears after submitting each section and a final performance overview
is generated upon completion. One attempt is permitted. The learner must conduct a focused
cardiovascular history and physical examination, synthesize clinical findings, and produce a
comprehensive hypertension management plan.
Learning Objectives
• Conduct a comprehensive cardiovascular history in a patient with known hypertension
• Identify modifiable and non-modifiable cardiovascular risk factors
• Classify hypertension using JNC 8 / ACC-AHA 2017 guidelines
• Assess for hypertensive end-organ damage (heart, kidneys, eyes, brain, vasculature)
• Formulate an evidence-based antihypertensive treatment and lifestyle modification plan
• Develop a complete SOAP note and patient monitoring plan
