phathophysiology Paul Wheat (PW) is a 23 y/o male who suffered a hit-and-run auto-pedestrian accident and sustained multiple abrasions, a concussion, and a deep laceration of his left thigh. He was discovered approximately 2 hours after the incident and is now in the emergency room [ER]. Paul’s initial diagnostic workup, vital signs and lab work reveal a 2500 mL blood loss. A urinary catheter is inserted to monitor urine output. Currently, Paul’s urine output is 15 mL/hr and is clear but dark amber in color. Identify 3 other clinical problems (adverse outcomes) that may develop if PW’s renal function does not return to normal but continues to deteriorate?

A 54-year-old male patient presents to the emergency department with chest pain that started 2 hours ago. He describes the pain as a pressure sensation in the center of his chest, radiating to his left arm. The patient has a history of hypertension and type 2 diabetes. His vital signs on admission are as follows: blood pressure 150/90 mmHg, heart rate 98 bpm, respiratory rate 20 breaths/min, and oxygen saturation 96% on room air. An electrocardiogram (ECG) shows ST-segment elevation in leads II, III, and aVF. Based on this information, what is the most appropriate initial nursing action? A) Prepare the patient for an immediate coronary angiography. B) Administer sublingual nitroglycerin and aspirin as ordered. C) Start an intravenous insulin infusion. D) Provide supplemental oxygen and initiate continuous ECG monitoring.

Mrs Alensi returned to the ward 1 hour ago following a Left sided total knee replacement. She has a morphine infusion running at 1mg/hour for pain relief. 30 minutes ago, her BP was 115/75 and her respirations were 16.

A 6 month-old male infant is admitted to the hospital with diagnosis of recurrent pneumonia. His vital signs on admission: respiratory rate = 50 /min; heart rate = 170 beats/min; temperature – 102˚ F. Substernal retractions are prominent. Lung auscultation: bilateral wheezes and rhonchi. Medical history: this is a third admission since birth for pneumonia. His mother also states that he hasn’t gain body weight like her older child had at 6 months of age. How is this case consistent with cystic fibrosis diagnosis? What tests could be ordered to confirm the diagnosis? What interventions could help to alleviate respiratory distress?
