To explain: Common upper respiratory tract infections.
Concept introduction: The pulmonary system is the biological system that consists of specific organs and structures used for gaseous exchange in animals. The processes of the pulmonary system includes the transport of air in or out of the cell, the transport of air spaces in the lungs and the blood stream, and the transport of the blood into and away from the capillary beds of the lungs to the body organs and tissues.

Explanation of Solution
The structure of the pulmonary system includes two different tracts, namely the upper respiratory tract and the lower respiratory tract. The upper respiratory tract includes the pharynx, larynx, and trachea. The infections in the upper respiratory tract are as follows:
- Infectious rhinitis (Common cold)
- Sinusitis
- Laryngotracheobronchitis
- Epiglottitis
- Influenza
- Scarlet fever
Infectious rhinitis is the common cold. This infection occurs due to the viral infection in the upper respiratory tract. The common causative agents for the common cold are the rhinovirus, corona virus, para-influenza virus, or adenovirus.
Sinusitis is the bacterial infection in the upper respiratory tract. This infection is the secondary infection to a cold or allergy. The main causative organisms for sinusitis include streptococci, pneumococci, or Haemophilus influenza.
Laryngotracheobronchitis is the viral infection that occurs in the upper respiratory tract of children. In adults, it leads to laryngitis, bronchitis, or tracheitis. The common infectious agents for laryngotracheobronchitis are parainfluenza virus and the adeno virus.
Epiglottitis is an acute bacterial infection. The main causative bacterium is Haemophilus influenza type B.
Influenza is a viral infection that occurs in both respiratory tracts. The causative viruses for influenza are influenza virus type A, influenza virus type B, and influenza virus type C.
Scarlet fever is strawberry tongue with prominent papillae. It is occurs in the upper respiratory tract due to the Streptococcus pyogenes, which is a group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus.

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_forwardTools Window Help zm Module 4 - Interpreting Labs.pd X CB CastleBranch Login x Merged-TDL-Files--2024103012280X pl Dietetic Prac Halk6uo8tbjf.cloudfront.net/68f85c32-16e5-11ef-925e-aaa4f1cd8999?response-content-disposition=inlin - + 90% CASE STUDIES-DISCUSSION Case 1 His lower BUN, K+ and phosphorus are consistent with his reported decrease in intake due to the flu. 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_forward
