Client Scenario:
My client is Wei Zhang, is a 32-year-old male who has been presenting with daily heartburn and nausea for several months. He reports significant weight gain (40 lbs. in 6 months), a sedentary lifestyle due to working on his dissertation, and poor dietary habits. Wei has tried over-the-counter antacids without relief. His vital signs are stable (BP 121/74, HR 79, RR 18, Temp 98.6°F, O2 Sat 98%). He is obese with a BMI of 38. He has no allergies, no past medical history, and his only current medication is a multivitamin. He does not smoke but drinks alcohol socially on weekends.
