1. The scenario is based on a 69-year-old female that presented with chest pain and was diagnosed with stable angina. The patient reports the pain started 5 days ago and gets worse on exertion and stops when resting. She has a past medical history of coronary artery disease, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. My treatment plan included giving her nitroglycerin sublingual for the chest pain as needed. Starting her on additional medication to bring down her blood pressure. Educating her to continue taking her aspirin. The patient refused to take statin medication to help reduce her cholesterol. She started taking red yeast rice pill but that’s not helping with her cholesterol. I educated her on lifestyle modifications and referred her out to cardiology.
