Read the following case study:
You are a newly hired NP in a family practice setting. Dr. Rogers is an older physician who has been in private practice for 30 years. It is his business. He does not work on Fridays. You see a patient today for URI symptoms. On exam, you notice that the symptom that is bothering the patient the most is the runny nose. His vital signs are all within normal limits, and his exam only shows a very runny nose. The patient also has a diagnosis of hypertension, which is well controlled with low dose HCTZ. Your assessment is viral URI, and you prescribe OTC Sudafed and arrange for a follow-up appointment if symptoms persist. On Monday, Dr. Rogers calls you into office and says, “You shouldn't have given that patient Sudafed. He has high blood pressure.” He complains, “I had to call him and tell him not to take the Sudafed".
