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.

Chapter 16, Problem 2CCS, 70-Year-Old Male with Polyuria Mr. Gutteman, a 70-year-old male, was brought into the ER. He had

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 ketones

•Strict I&O [careful measurement of fluid intake (e.g., IV, drinking) and output (e.g., urine)]

2. NCLEX-STYLE Given this new information, Mr. Gutteman's excessive fluid loss in his urine most likely indicates:

a. An increased blood level of aldosterone

b. A decreased blood level of antidiuretic hormone

c. An increased blood level of antidiuretic hormone

d. A decreased blood level of insulin

Three of the many recessive mutations in Drosophila melanogaster that affect body color, wing shape, or bristle morphology are black (b) body versus grey in wild type, dumpy (dp), obliquely truncated wings versus long wings in the male, and hooked (hk) bristles versus not hooked in the wild type.  From a cross of a dumpy female with a black and hooked male, all of the F1 were wild type for all three of the characters.  The testcross of an F1 female with a dumpy, black, hooked male gave the following results:   Trait Number of individuals Wild type 169 Black 19 Black, hooked 301 Dumpy, hooked 21 Hooked, dumpy, black 172 Dumpy, black 6 Dumpy 305 Hooked 8   Determine the order of the genes and the mapping distance between genes. Determine the coefficient of confidence for the portion of the chromosome involved in the cross. How much interference takes place in the cross?
