lifestyle modifications *** how will you treat stage one HTN with ASCVD risk of <10%?
medications *** how will you treat stage one HTN with ASCVD risk of >10%?
130-139/80-89 *** according to the AHA/ACC guidelines, stage one HTN is defined as BP of _______-
_______/_____-_____
140, 90 *** according to the AHA/ACC guidelines, stage two HTN is defined as BP of >_______/>_____
lifestyle modifications *** the mainstay of hyperlipidemia treatment, regardless of medication use as
well, is _____________________ ________________________
strep pneumoniae *** the typical culprit of bacterial pneumonia is ___________
_________________________
bacterial, viral *** ________________________ pneumonia tends to be more significant/serious while
_______________ pneumonia tends to be more of a "walking" pneumonia
cough suppressants *** do not given pneumonia patients ____________ _______________________,
can give them expectorants
8 *** follow-up CXR from pneumonia should be performed around the ________ week mark
CAT assessment (COPD assessment test) *** functional assessment tool that we can use to help us
decide how much COPD is affecting our patients daily life, a score >10 is considered significant day to
day disruption
, spirometry, 0.70 *** COPD diagnosis is confirmed with ________________________, an FEV1/FVC ratio
score of less than ___________ indicates COPD
dyspnea, sputum, purulence *** what 3 things must be present in order to diagnose a COPD
exacerbation?
1) increased _____________________
2) increased __________________ production
3) increased sputum __________________________
steroids *** treatment options for Bell's palsy include __________________ (started within 72 hours of
symptom onset), antivirals may be utilized depending upon the patient, and lubricating eye ointment
should always be prescribed to avoid corneal abrasions
essential tremor *** tremor that worsens with intent, managed with beta blockers (propanolol) and
regular physical activity
MS (multiple sclerosis) *** demyelination occurring in the CNS, very unpredictable, most patients go
through remissions and exacerbations, commonly diagnosed between ages 20-40
trigeminal neuralgia *** patients with MS are at an increased risk of developing what condition?
absence seizures *** type of seizure commonly diagnosed in childhood characterized by brief loss of
consciousness lasting around 20-30 seconds, these children are often accused of daydreaming, most will
outgrow this condition
tonic clonic seizures *** also known as convulsive seizures, typically last around 1-3 minutes, biggest
