To answer:
Discuss the onset of puberty with Ms. E.
Case summary:
Ms. E (12-year-old) has been admitted to the hospital for an appendectomy. She has been worried about her physical growth (associated with her peers). A nurse may recognize the teenagers’ anxiousness about their bodily changes and developments (how they want to look like). A nurse should also be conscious of the teenagers’ mental, physical, and social potentials (they may get influenced by their peers).

Explanation of Solution
The gonadotropin hormones are responsible for puberty. The timing of puberty may vary depending upon each individual. In general, it occurs between 11-14 years of age. Ms. E (12-year-old) will probably have a growth spurt (before menarche). She will begin to see the signs (physical) of puberty. These are all the concerns of a nurse about the onset of sexual maturity (puberty) with Ms. E.
Puberty is the period when the teenager attains sexual marurity and able to reproduce.

True False A patient who has a low bicarbonate level will also have a low potassium level. Causes of low albumin include low protein intake, infection, proteinuria and severe liver disease. Inaccurate handling of the blood specimen can result in a falsely low PTH. In a patient on hemodialysis, a potassium level of 6.0 is acceptable. An excessive intake of meat will result in higher levels of BUN, phosphorus and potassium. In a patient without kidney function, hyperglycemia will be accompanied by hypokalemia. A patient with access problems is likely to have increased levels of potassium, BUN, creatinine…arrow_forward

His high calcium level is a consequence of taking his prescribed amount of PhosLo while eating less food. Thus, he absorbed more calcium from his phosphate binder. In this patient, with adynamic bone disease (low PTH without IV vitamin D therapy), he is unable to deposit calcium in his bones, so serum level rose quickly. PhosLo was held and the next week his calcium was 11.0 and phosphorus 5.8. Other possibilities for a rise in calcium might be that patient took Tums (or another calcium-containing antacid) because of the flu or heartburn; took phosphate binders between meals rather than with meals; was consuming…arrow_forwardlast two please (3 and 4)arrow_forward08tbjf.cloudfront.net/68f85c32-16e5-11ef-925e-aaa4f1cd8999?response-content-disposition=inline DaVita Dietitian Reference Manual + 90% Module 4-Evaluating Laboratory Values DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1.
