(use this cаse tо аnswer the six (6) questiоns thаt fоllow) Name: Steve J. Age: 70 Gender: Male Medical History: Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Insomnia Chief Complaint: Steve presents with ongoing anxiety and difficulties falling asleep. He also expresses a strong desire to quit smoking. Presenting Concerns: Steve was prescribed sertraline for generalized anxiety disorder 1 week ago. Since starting sertraline he’s felt shakier and more jittery. He also thinks sertraline has made it more difficult for him to sleep at night. He takes sertraline as prescribed with his evening meal but is wondering if he should continue. He finds it especially challenging to relax and fall asleep at night. He recently had lots of dental work done because for several years he has been grinding his teeth while sleeping and started to have temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. Although anxiety has made this worse, he has long-standing challenges with sleep and remembers difficulty falling asleep even before anxiety became a problem. He wonders if there is a medication he can take to help him fall asleep at night. He has tried OTC products in the past but did not find these to be helpful. He has been a smoker for the past 20 years and is motivated to quit due to health concerns. He tried to quit on his own during the pandemic but is back to smoking about 15 cigarettes a day, with his first cigarette about 1 hour after waking up. He is worried that quitting smoking will make his anxiety even worse and is wondering if there is anything that can help. Current Medications: Sertraline 50 mg daily with evening meal (prescribed 1 week ago) Over-the-counter sleep aids occasionally used, but with limited effectiveness No current smoking cessation aids Social History: Steve is self-employed in a demanding marketing position, often working late hours. He reports consuming caffeinated coffee in the morning and early afternoon (4 cups total) and nicotine (15 cigarettes per day) regularly throughout the day. No alcohol intake.
