Chapter 16, Problem 1CCS
70-Year-Old Male with Polyuria
Mr. Gutteman, a 70-year-old male, was brought into the ER. He had been sick several days with the flu, and was found confused and barely conscious by his daughter.
Mr. Gutteman is breathing rapidly and has a fever of 39°C (102°F). His skin is dry and flaccid, his mucous membranes are dry, and his eyes are sunken. The physician ordered:
•IV (intravenous) fluid and electrolyte replacement
•Blood and urine tests for presence of glucose and
•Strict I&O [careful measurement of fluid intake (e.g., IV, drinking) and output (e.g., urine)]
1. NCLEX-STYLE You would expect high levels of blood glucose and the presence of glucose and ketones in Mr. Gutteman's urine if:
a. His pancreas is secreting too much insulin
b. His liver is secreting too little insulin
c. His pancreas is secreting too little insulin
d. His liver is secreting too much glucagon

What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.
How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population?
Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?
Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
