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

Yvonne is a 13-year-old eighth grader who is a new student in an urban middle school. She recently moved into the area with her mother and her three siblings. The family moved to be nearer to Yvonne s grandparents after the breakup of her parents relationship. Yvonne is tall for her age and is bothered by the looks and sexual comments about her breasts from boys in her school. She has made few friends at the new school, because she needs to spend most of her free time taking care of her younger siblings while her mother waits tables to support the family. Her eighth grade academic work is a little more advanced than what she is usedto. She is having a hard time keeping up, particularly in science, which is her first period course. The teacher moves very fast, despite the fact that most of the students look glassy-eyed from too little sleep. What does this example illustrate about the ease of the adolescent transition for early-maturing girls like Yvonne?

He is very concerned with maintaining a "healthy" appearance. Seth is very athletic and especially enjoys surfing. He has been surfing since the age of twelve and he started making surfboards while he was in high school. After obtaining a college degree in marketing Seth decided to start his own business making surfboards and giving surfing lessons for a local resort near his home.

- What are Bruces options at this point? Bruce and his parents moved to a semi-tropical region of the United States when he was about 3 years old. He loved to be outside year-round and swim, surf, snorkel, and play baseball. Bruce was fair-skinned, and in his childhood years, was sunburned quite often. In his teen years, he began using sunscreens, and although he never tanned very much, he did not have the painful sunburns of his younger years. After graduation from the local community college, Bruce wanted an outdoor job and was hired at a dive shop. He took people out to one of the local reefs to snorkel and scuba dive. He didnt give a second thought to sun exposure because he used sunscreen. His employer did not provide health insurance, so Bruce did not go for annual checkups, and tried to stay in good health. In his late 20s, Bruce was injured trying to keep a tourist from getting caught between the dive boat and the dock. He went to an internist, who treated his injury and told Bruce he was going to give him a complete physical exam. During the exam, the internist noticed a discolored patch of skin on Bruces back. She told him that she suspected Bruce had skin cancer and referred him to a dermatologist, who biopsied the patch. At a follow-up visit, Bruce was told that he had melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer. Further testing revealed that the melanoma had spread to his liver and his lungs. The dermatologist explained that treatment options at this stage are limited. The drugs available for chemotherapy have only temporary effects, and surgery is not effective for melanoma at this stage. The dermatologist recommended that Bruce consider entering a clinical trial that was testing a DNA vaccine for melanoma treatment. These vaccines deliver DNA encoding a gene expressed by the cancer cells to the immune system. This primes the immune system to respond by producing large quantities of antibodies that destroy melanoma cells wherever they occur in the body. A clinical trial using one such DNA vaccine was being conducted at a nearby medical center, and Bruce decided to participate. At the study clinic, Bruce learned that he would be in a Phase Ill trial, comparing the DNA vaccine against the standard treatment, which is chemotherapy, and that he would be randomly assigned to receive either the DNA vaccine or the chemotherapy. He was disappointed to learn this. He thought he would be receiving the DNA vaccine.arrow_forwardLi Na and Jamal just had a healthy baby boy who weighed 4.0 kg at birth.
