Week7 Discussion/Main Post


Case: An elderly widow who just lost her spouse.
Subjective: A patient presents to your primary care office today with chief complaint of
insomnia. Patient is 75 YO with PMH of DM, HTN, and MDD. Her husband of 41 years
passed away 10 months ago. Since then, she states her depression has gotten worse
as well as her sleep habits. The patient has no previous history of depression prior to
her husband’s death. She is awake, alert, and oriented x3. Patient normally sees PCP
once or twice a year. Patient denies any suicidal ideations. Patient arrived at the office
today by private vehicle. Patient currently takes the following medications:
● Metformin 500mg BID
● Januvia 100mg daily
● Losartan 100mg daily
● HCTZ 25mg daily
● Sertraline 100mg daily
Current weight: 88 kg
Current height: 64 inches
Temp: 98.6 degrees F
BP: 132/86



● List three questions you might ask the patient if she were in your office. Provide a
rationale for why you might ask these questions.



1. I would ask the patient if she had experienced any depression before her
spouse’s death? What; if any non pharmacologic coping mechanisms are being
utlized
2. I would ask her definitive questions about her PMH, in particular when was she
diagnosed and the last time she was seen for a follow-up?
