Chris is a 50-year-old data analyst who presents to his primary care provider (PCP) with complaints of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), including urinary urgency, frequency, and nocturia. He notes the nocturia is particularly bothersome because it wakes him (and thus his wife) a few times each night.
He reports that he is a social drinker, does not use recreational drugs, and had a vasectomy 4 years earlier. He has a history of mild hypertension (135/85 mm Hg) that is untreated, and moderate obesity (body mass index = 28.3). He was a prior smoker but quit cold turkey 10 years ago. He has an allergy to penicillin. Chris reports taking over-the-counter (OTC) nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as needed on occasion, and is currently taking an OTC decongestant to help deal with his seasonal (Fall) allergies.
While looking over his record, the PCP realizes Chris has not been seen in his office for over a year, so (as per insurance quality measures) the PCP takes the opportunity to do a complete examination.
