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)]

A physical exam revealed stiffness in her neck. The nurse practitioner noted that Alissa made her own cheeses from goat and cow milk on her farm. A lumbar puncture was immediately ordered for a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis. What may the possible bacterial pathogen that caused this?

L.H. is a 55 year old male patient that has come into your clinic. L.H. has worked in construction for 15 years and is complaining of a red, itchy, dry rash that has formed on his arms and hands. Lately, his job is working to lay cement which means he is outside most of the time. The rash is often itchy and painful, which prevents him from performing his duties to his best ability and he is worried about continuing to work. Additionally, it has impacted his ability to play golf, a hobby that he enjoys in his spare time.LH has tried wearing work gloves, but due to the nature of the job he is unable to wear them the entire time. He’s also tried different creams, but that had little effect.
Come up with 5 follow up questions you could ask L.H. to further determine the appropriate skin condition?
Comprehension. Discuss the current treatment options for the disease or disorder chosen in question 1.
Lin, a 5-year-11-month-boy. He-had a fever 20 days ago with no obvious trigger and
reached
the highest oral- temperature of- 40°C, no obvious cough, runny nose, vomiting,
headache,
dizziness, melena, urinary frequency, urgency, and dysuria but had nose bleeding. He
visited a local hospital and-underwent a blood routine test: WBC=8.7X10°L, N=21%,
RBC= 3.36X10%/L, BPC=75X 10°/L, Hb=109g/L; peripheral -blood smear shows:
atypical cells 29%. The local hospital suspected "infectious mononucleosis", thus
intravenous ganciclovir was given and his blood was extracted to check for anti-EBV
antibody simultaneously.
After 6-days of intravenous ganciclovir, his body temperature still fluctuated at around:
38°C. Anti-EBVVCA-IgM(-), anti-VCA-IgG(+)
1. Do you think the doctor's diagnosis is correct? And what do you think the next step
would the doctor take?
2. How long does a normal fever and infectious fever last?

- A 62-year old, recently widowed male Hispanic patient, KB. was brought in to the emergency department (ED) by his daughter for progressively worsening shortness of breath, fatigue, a lingering non-productive cough, and generalized edema. One month prior, he noticed dyspnea upon exertion, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and malaise, which he attributed to the flu. In the emergency department, he appeared anxious and pale, and had a dry yellow tint to the skin. He denied any chest pain, and he could not recall the last time he urinated. He has history of benign prostatic hyperplasia, diabetes mellitus type 2, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and renal insufficiency for the past two years. His ED assessment findings included: 1+ pedal edema, basilar crackles in the lungs bilaterally, and a scant amount of urine according to a bladder scan. His lab results indicated a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 12. Based on his subjective and objective symptoms, he was admitted with a diagnosis of…arrow_forwardD. is a 10-month-old boy is admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit at a children’s hospital from a fire station. The mother brought the boy in after he fell on the edge of a coffee table, splitting his lip. Unable to stop the bleeding after 20 minutes, the mother drove to a nearby fire station for help. The boy appears pale, with some bruising noted on his extremities. He is afebrile and does not appear acutely ill. Lab work shows a platelet count of 150,000, with normal bleeding and prothrombin time. Select a potential diagnosis for P.D. and describe the pathophysiology of that diagnosis. How does the pathophysiology explain P.D.’s physical exam and lab findings?arrow_forwardA 4-year-old child was admitted to the clinic with signs of prolonged protein starvation: growth and mental retardation, anemia, and edema.

Two weeks later his urine became "smoky". He was found to have hematuria, albuminuria and elevated BUN (180 mg/dl). He died from a pulmonary embolus. Photos include throat photo, blood agar, and grain stain. What specimens should be taken, aside from blood? What tests should be run? Include both a rapid test option and a lower cost test option. What signs and symptoms should have alerted the patient to come in for testing during or after his viral flu episode? What was the most likely cause to the embolus?
