    Management Plan Template

    1. Problem Statement

    a. How would you present this patient to your preceptor? Include both subjective
    and objective findings.

    · Patient is a 36-year-old female with PMH of Type 2 DM, who presents with multiple annular lesions on her bilateral thighs x 2 weeks that she describes as constantly itchy (6/10), characterized by red raised borders, central clearing, and associated erythema and scaling. Denies fever or systemic symptoms. Denies recent travel, exposure to known irritants, new skin products, skin injuries, bites, or infection. Reports worsening of rash with OTC corticosteroid use. Physical exam reveals that the patient is afebrile; lesions are negative for fluctuance, palpable nodules, vesicles, pustules, discharge, or signs of secondary infection. Risk factors include Type 2 DM diagnosis and participation in hot yoga and indoor swimming, making the presentation concerning for a superficial dermatophyte infection.

    2. Primary Diagnosis with coding

    a. Primary diagnosis with ICD-10 code:

    · Tinea Corporis: ICD-10 Code- B35.4

    b. Rationale for primary diagnosis:

    · The clinical presentation of an annular, itchy/pruritic rash on the legs with multiple lesions characterized by raised, erythematous, scaly edges with central clearing and exacerbation with topical corticosteroids use aligns with the AAFP guidelines for diagnosing tinea corporis. (Ely et al., 2014)

    c. CPT Code for Visit:

    · 99213 (Established patient, low complexity visit, problem-focused exam, and decision-making.)

    3. Evidence-based guidelines

    a. Which guidelines were used to develop the primary diagnosis?

    · American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) 2014 Clinical Practice Guidelines for diagnosing and managing tinea infections.

    4. Differential Diagnoses

    a. Include 3 -5 differential diagnoses (different from the primary diagnosis):

    · Atopic Dermatitis, Contact Dermatitis, Psoriasis

    b. Rationale for each diagnosis:

    1. Atopic Dermatitis

    · Rationale: Also has erythematous/itchy lesions/plaques, less likely to have active borders or central clearing of lesions that are usually not annular and may be lichenified.

    2. Contact Dermatitis

    · Rationale: Also has erythematous/itchy lesions/plaques, is less likely to have active borders or central clearing, and lesions are usually not annular.

    3. Psoriasis

    · Rationale: Psoriasis can present as well-demarcated, erythematous plaques with silvery scales; however, it lacks central clearing, and lesions tend to persist without spreading in an annular pattern.

    (Ely et al., 2014)

    5. Management Plan: Medications, nonpharmacological treatments, ancillary tests, and referrals:

    a. Drug name, dosage, route. Include any supplements or OTC medications. Include education for prescribed medications:

    · New Rx: Luliconazole 1% cream, apply cream to affected area and 1-inch surrounding area(s) daily for 1 week.

    · Medication Education:

    · Emphasize the importance of applying topical medication 1 inch beyond the border of the lesions.

    · Emphasize the importance of completing the entire course of the topical antifungal regimen to prevent recurrence.

    · Instruct that medication is for topical use only.

    · Instruct not to apply over large surface areas due to the risk of increased systemic exposure.

    (Medscape, 2024)

    · Discontinue OTC corticosteroid cream, as it can worsen tinea infections.

    · OTC antihistamines, like diphenhydramine, as needed for pruritus/itching per package instructions.

    · OTC antifungal powder for prevention.

    b. Nonpharmacological treatment/supportive care:

    · Wash affected areas with mild soap and water, and pat areas dry completely before applying topical medications.

    · Shower, dry the body completely, and wear fresh/clean clothing immediately after activities like yoga or swimming.

    · Aloe Vera can help moisturize and minimize discomfort.

    c. Any ancillary testing needed: None relevant to diagnosis.

    d. Referrals: None relevant to diagnosis.

    6. SDOH, health promotion and risk factors

    a. SDOH – After reviewing this patient’s social history, they do not appear to have any significant SDOH barriers, but here are some important factors to consider.

    · Economic Stability: Assess the affordability of prescription medications.

    · Health Literacy: Ensure understanding of fungal transmission and prevention.

    · Environmental Exposure: Discuss hygiene practices in shared public spaces like gyms and pools.

    b. Health promotion – include all age-appropriate preventive health screenings and immunizations:

    · The patient is currently UTD on the following:

    · Immunizations

    · Dental cleanings

    · Pap smear

    · Annual eye exam

    · Clinical breast exam

    · Additional health promotion screenings needed include:

    · Hemoglobin A1C

    · Lipid panel

    c. Risk factors – Address patient risk factors related to primary diagnosis:

    · Type 2 DM: Impaired immune response related to the disease process of DM predisposes patients to increased risk for dermatophyte infections and impaired wound healing.

    · Exposure to frequent sweating and moist/humid environments: Frequent participation in hot yoga and swimming increases possible exposure to fungi, increasing the susceptibility to dermatophyte infections.

    7. Patient Education

    a. Include comprehensive patient education related to the current health visit:

    · Educate on Diagnosis: Tinea corporis, commonly referred to as "ringworm," is a superficial fungal infection of the legs, arms, or trunk that is treated with consistent antifungal therapy.

    · Transmission Prevention: Avoid sharing towels, clothing, and gym equipment. Keep skin clean and dry. Frequent hand washing. Avoid scratching affected areas if possible.

    · Avoiding Corticosteroids: These medications can worsen fungal/tinea infections.

    · Avoiding excessive moisture: Wear loose-fitting, breathable clothing; change/wash clothing and towels frequently.

    · Disinfect personal items: Clean yoga mats, gym equipment, clothing, and swimwear to prevent reinfection. Do not share items that have not been disinfected, like towels or equipment. Use a separate towel to dry affected areas to avoid spreading the infection.

    · Diagnosis of Type 2 DM as a Risk Factor: Educate on the importance of compliance with disease management and the implications of uncontrolled blood glucose on skin health and its effects on healing, leading to bacterial infections and increased risk for fungal infections.

    8. Follow up

    a. Include time for the next visit and specific symptoms to prompt a return visit sooner:

    · Routine Follow-Up: Schedule in 2 weeks to assess treatment response.

    · Return Sooner If (Red-Flag symptoms):

    · Symptoms worsen despite treatment.

    · New lesions begin to develop.

    · Presence of fever, or if any lesions develop signs of infection like excessive redness, swelling, pain, warmth, or drainage. Go to the emergency room if symptoms are severe.

    · Any adverse reaction to prescribed medications. Go to the emergency room if symptoms are severe, like throat swelling or shortness of breath.

    Assignment Prompt & Instructions

    J.D. is a 37 years old white woman who presents to her gynecologist complaining of a 2-month history of intermenstrual bleeding, menorrhagia, increased urinary frequency, mild incontinence, extreme fatigue, and weakness. Her menstrual period occurs every 28 days and lately there have been 6 days of heavy flow and cramping. She denies abdominal distension, back-ache, and constipation. She has not had her usual energy levels since before her last pregnancy.

    **Past Medical History (PMH):**

    Upon reviewing her past medical history, the gynecologist notes that her patient is a G5P5with four pregnancies within four years, the last infant having been delivered vaginally four months ago. All five pregnancies were unremarkable and without delivery complications. All infants were born healthy. Patient history also reveals a 3-year history of osteoarthritis in the left knee, probably the result of sustaining significant trauma to her knee in an MVA when she was 9 years old. When asked what OTC medications she is currently taking for her pain and for how long she has been taking them, she reveals that she started taking ibuprofen, three tablets each day, about 2.5 years ago for her left knee. Due to a slowly progressive increase in pain and a loss of adequate relief with three tablets, she doubled the daily dose of ibuprofen. Upon the recommendation from her nurse practitioner and because long-term ibuprofen use can cause peptic ulcers, she began taking OTC omeprazole on a regular basis to prevent gastrointestinal bleeding. Patient history also reveals a 3-year history of HTN for which she is now being treated with a diuretic and a centrally acting antihypertensive drug. She has had no previous surgeries.

    **Case Study Questions**

    1. Name the contributing factors on J.D that might put her at risk to develop iron deficiency anemia.
    2. Within the case study, describe the reasons why J.D. might be presenting constipation and or dehydration.
    3. Why Vitamin B12 and folic acid are important on the erythropoiesis? What abnormalities their deficiency might cause on the red blood cells?
    4. The gynecologist is suspecting that J.D. might be experiencing iron deficiency anemia.

    In order to support the diagnosis, list and describe the clinical symptoms that J.D. might have positive for Iron deficiency anemia.
    5. If the patient is diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia, what do you expect to find as signs of this type of anemia? List and describe.
    6. Labs results came back for the patient. Hb 10.2 g/dL; Hct 30.8%; Ferritin 9 ng/dL; red blood cells are smaller and paler in color than normal. Research list and describe for appropriate recommendations and treatments for J.D.

    ## De-Prescribing and  taper from a medication safely or transition to a new medication

    De-Prescribing

    What is the importance of de-prescribing? How might you assist a patient to taper from a medication safely or transition to a new medication?

    In this Assignment, you will use the following patient examples to write a 5- to 6-page paper on considerations you have for how you might de-prescribe. Support your answers with five (5) evidence-based, peer-reviewed scholarly literature resources outside of Required Learning Resources in this course.

    **Note:** APA style format guidelines will apply.

    **Patient Examples:**

    **Patient 1:** A 36-year-old male presents to your office being prescribed by his primary care physician (PCP) for the past 3 years an opioid analgesic medication for a work accident. He has chronic pain and is attending a pain clinic. It is determined the best course of treatment for pain is to remain on opioid medication. The patient is also being prescribed clonazepam 1mg BID for “relaxation” and panic attacks.

    **Patient 2:** A 42-year-old female on alprazolam 1mg BID for panic attacks. Panic attacks have been in remission and the patient wants to taper off the medication. But, every time she has attempted to do so in the past, she experienced withdrawal effects. She is wondering how to safely taper off the benzodiazepine medication without having withdrawal effects.

    **Patient 3:** A 24-year-old female prescribed lorazepam 1mg TID for generalized anxiety disorder. She recently found out she is pregnant (9 weeks gestation). She was referred to you by her OB-GYN to discuss this medication for her current situation. The patient is wondering if she can stay on the lorazepam through her pregnancy and postpartum, as it is an effective medication for anxiety symptoms. She plans to exclusively breastfeed for the first 6 months postpartum. She has not had any other trials of medication to treat anxiety as lorazepam has been effective.

    **Patient 4:** A 71-year-old-male who comes to see you at the insistence of his daughter. His daughter expresses concern of memory loss and is wondering if he has the beginning stages of dementia. He is forgetful and seems to be tripping on things or walking into walls, although he has lived in the same home for the past 35 years. The patient does not agree with his daughter but does admit he has had a “few stumbles and falls” lately. Medication reconciliation shows the following medications: metoprolol ER 50mg q day, omeprazole 20mg q day, clonazepam 1mg TID, levothyroxine 75mcg q am. His daughter is wondering if he should be started on a “dementia medication.”

    Answer the following questions using the patient examples described above.

    **Patient 1**

    · What are the concerns of the patient remaining on the opioid medication and clonazepam?

    · How might you educate the patient about these risks and concerns?

    The patient agrees that he should not continue both medications in combination. He would like to “get off” the clonazepam but worries about “bad withdrawals” that he’s heard about from stopping clonazepam “cold turkey” and is concerned about re-occurring panic attacks. How might you respond to the following:

    · How would you instruct the patient to taper off clonazepam?

    · What other medication would you recommend for the patient for the treatment of his panic attacks? Keep in mind, he will continue the opioid medication for pain relief.

    · How would you start the new recommended psychotropic medication for the patient?

    · Discuss one legal, ethical, or social consideration with the treatment plan.

    **Patient 2**

    · The patient reports withdrawal symptoms when previously tapering off the alprazolam. What symptoms are common withdrawal symptoms from this medication?

    · Provide the patient education of withdrawal symptoms that range from common and less serious to withdrawal symptoms that are a cause for concern and that should prompt patient should seek medical attention.

    · Given the patient’s history of having withdrawal effects from attempting to taper off alprazolam, what longer-acting benzodiazepine would you choose to convert the patient to?

    · What is the dose you would prescribe and how would you taper off the medication?

    **Patient 3**

    · Review the potential risks, benefits, and side effects of continuing lorazepam throughout the pregnancy and postpartum for both the patient and fetus.

    · Review other alternative medications to treat generalized anxiety disorder. Include risks, benefits, and potential side effects to both the patient and the developing fetus. Keep in mind, the patient is looking to breast feed for 6 months postpartum.

    · The patient agrees that it would be safest for her pregnancy and fetus to discontinue the lorazepam. How would you recommend she discontinue lorazepam? Provide education on potential side effects from tapering off the medication, including common side effects to more serious side effects and when to seek medical attention.

    · The patient would like to forgo medications at this time, given she is early in her pregnancy and is concerned about “damage” to the fetus if she were to continue medications. Provide education to the patient about the risks of untreated anxiety symptoms during pregnancy for both the patient and the fetus.

    **Patient 4**

    · Review potential side effects for elderly on benzodiazepines providing education to both the patient and the patient’s daughter. What are the risks of continuing the benzodiazepine for this patient?

    · How would you evaluate the patient for these side effects?

    · The patient and daughter agree he will need to taper off the clonazepam given the risks of continuing this medication. How would you recommend tapering off this medication?

    · Review with the patient and daughter potential side effects of tapering off the medication. Review with them common side effects to more serious side effects and when to seek medical attention.

    Collapse All

    **Introduction**

    For leaders in healthcare, strategic analysis is a crucial tool for staying aware of both internal conditions and external environments. Without a strong understanding of both, leaders can make decisions that work in theory but not very effectively in the real world.
