Clinical Intake — Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of colon

A 58-year-old male presents for age-appropriate preventive care per current guideline recommendations. Comorbidities include well-controlled essential hypertension on lisinopril and mild hyperlipidemia on atorvastatin; there is no personal or family history of polyps or inflammatory bowel disease. He reports subjective sensitivity to sedation from a dental procedure approximately seven years ago, without any formal anesthetic complication documented at that time. Pre-procedure laboratories — CBC, basic metabolic panel, and fasting lipid profile — are unremarkable. The referring gastroenterologist recommends further evaluation.
