What should be included in the review during the IPPE related to risk factors?

The inclusion of medical and social history with modifiable risk factors during the Initial Preventive Physical Examination (IPPE) is essential because it provides a comprehensive overview of the patient's health that can impact their overall well-being. Modifiable risk factors are those lifestyle factors that can be changed or controlled, such as diet, physical activity, smoking status, and weight management. By identifying these factors, healthcare providers can develop tailored preventive strategies aimed at reducing the patient’s risk for chronic diseases.

This element of the IPPE emphasizes the importance of not only looking at past medical histories or individual aspects of a patient's health, but rather considering a holistic view that includes both medical conditions and relevant social determinants that could influence health outcomes. It ensures that care is patient-centered and proactive, enabling effective health interventions and education.

Other options focus on narrower aspects of a patient's health, such as only personal lifestyle or medications taken, which do not provide the complete picture needed for robust preventive care planning.
