Twenty-six-year-old Wei isn’t feeling well. Wei uses he/him/his pronouns. He is more tired than usual, dragging through his workdays despite going to bed earlier and napping on the weekends. He doesn't have much of an appetite and has started losing weight. When he presses on the side of his neck he notices an unusual lump.
Wei goes to his doctor, who performs a physical exam and determines that the lump is a swollen lymph node. Lymph nodes are part of the immune system, and they will often become enlarged when the body is fighting off an infection. Dr. Bouazizi thinks that the swollen lymph node and fatigue could be signs of a viral or bacterial infection, or indicate a type of cancer called lymphoma. However, an infection is a more likely cause, particularly in a young person like Wei. Dr. Bouazizi prescribes an antibiotic in case Wei has a bacterial infection and advises him to return in a few weeks if his lymph node does not shrink or if he is not feeling better.

Sarah, age 68, was recently widowed after 40 years of marriage. She reports that since her husband died, she has started to smoke again. She also reports difficulty sleeping, more pain from her rheumatoid arthritis, and episodes of shortness of breath. She begins to cry when asked about her usual daily activities and hobbies. She has stopped taking her blood pressure medication over the last month and avoids discussing her financial status.
What risk factors are present that may predispose her to an altered health status?
Ella is an attorney who has worked in private practice for 25 years. She estimates she works 70 hours/week between the office and the courtroom. She has attributed her persistent fatigue to her schedule, poor diet (“I usually eat on the run, whatever is available”) and alcohol consumption (“I drink a bottle of wine a couple nights a week, and maybe more at the weekend especially if there are lots of dinners with clients”). Her fatigue has recently worsened and she has been feeling nauseous and light-headed consistently over the last several days.

- Susan is a very slight 60year old woman of Japanese heritage with Down syndrome. She is post-menopausal and never has been very active as she uses a power wheelchair because of her foot problems which include bunions, uncut toe nails and uneven foot pads. She does not enjoy eating and it is always a struggle to get her to eat. Although she can feed herself, she will rarely finish a meal unless encouraged. Her favorite position to eat is lying on her bed watching television. After several bone fractures that resulted when she was transferred from a chair to bed, a bone-density test was done. It was discovered that she had significant bone loss in her hips and was given a diagnosis of osteoporosis. Her physician prescribed Tums™ and Fosamax™ to see whether it will prevent further bone loss and to perhaps rebuild some of the calcium lost. The oral medicine must be given on a daily basis in the morning, before any food is ingested and the individual must remain vertical until the liquid…arrow_forwardMary is a resident in a refuge for women and children.

Frederick approaches Beryl, a new part time refuge worker. He confides in her how much he misses his father and how desperately he wants to see him, or even just talk to him. He persuades Beryl to let him use the phone in the office to contact his father. Beryl agrees as long as she remains in the office with him. Frederick blurts out the address of the refuge before Beryl can stop him. She realises she will be in trouble from her supervisor, so she doesn’t say anything to her. Later that night Jason, Frederick’s father, arrives at the refuge and attempts to break in. When Jason is questioned by the police, he tells them that Beryl let Frederick call him and tell him the address. Beryl faces a severe reprimand from her supervisor.…arrow_forwardM.
