Summary Introduction

To determine:

How the woman most likely contacted the disease.

Case summary:

In the given scenario, a 24-year-old woman, who had returned from a camping and hiking trip in Texas, visits the doctor and complains of a sudden onset of high fever, chills, uneasiness, and severe headache. She also shows the doctor a swelling in her groin area.

(2)

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The potential problems associated with diagnosing this disease; and the importance of prompt diagnosis.

Case summary:

In the given scenario, a 24-year-old woman visits the doctor and complains of a sudden onset of high fever, chills, uneasiness, and severe headache. She also shows the doctor a swelling in her groin area.

(3)

Summary Introduction

To state:

Personal opinion on disease diagnosis and causative agents as a nursing student.

Case summary:

In the given scenario, the woman suffering from the given symptoms has most likely contacted Bubonic plague. An individual rotating through the doctor’s clinic as a nursing student is asked about their personal opinions on the disease diagnosis and causative agents.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The likely treatment for bubonic plague.

Case summary:

The 24-year-old woman, who had returned from a camping and hiking trip in Texas, visits the doctor and complains of a sudden onset of high fever, chills, uneasiness, and severe headache. She also shows the doctor a swelling in her groin area. All these symptoms point in the direction of bubonic plague, which requires a prompt diagnosis and treatment.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The person to be notified as soon as the diagnosis is confirmed; and why.

Case summary:

The 24-year-old woman, who had returned from a camping and hiking trip in Texas, visits the doctor and complains of a sudden onset of high fever, chills, uneasiness, and severe headache. She also shows the doctor a swelling in her groin area. All these symptoms point in the direction of bubonic plague, which requires a prompt diagnosis and treatment.

1. In vivo testing provides valuable insight into a drug’s kinetics. Assessing drug kinetics following multiple different routes of administration provides greater insight than just a single route of administration alone. The following data was collected in 250 g rats following bolus iv, oral (po), and intraperitoneal (ip) administration.Using this data and set of graphs, determine: (a) k, C0, V, and AUC* for the bolus iv data  (b) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the po data  (c) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the ip data  (d) relative bioavailability for po vs ip, Fpo/Fip  (e) absolute po bioavailability, (f)Fpo absolute ip bioavailability, Fip    MAKE SURE ANSWERS HAVE UNITS if appropriate. SHOW ALL WORK, including equation used, variables used and each step to your solution.
2. Drug quantification from plasma is commonly performed by using techniques such as HPLC or LC/MS. However, these methods do have limitations, and investigators may choose to use a radiolabeled analog of a drug instead. Radioligands are molecules that contain radioactive isotopes, commonly 3H or 14C. This technique allows investigators to quantify drug concentration from radiation measurements. The following measurements were made in 250 g rats following oral administration of 18.2 µCi of a 14C-labeled drug of interest: Time (min) Plasma Radiation Levels (µCi/L) 0 0.0 2 9.7 4 19.2 7 25.3 9 37.8 12 39.6 14 45.8 17 48.8 20 52.0 25 56.4 30 59.2 35 60.1 40 61.1 45 62.1 50 62.8 60 63.1 70 62.1 80 60.1 90 57.3 100 55.5 110 53.7 120 52.2 150 48.0 180 45.0 240 39.0  Note that a µCi is a measure of the amount of radioactivity and hence is a measure of the amount of drug present.  Given that the oral bioavailability of this drug is known to be essentially 100%, estimate the following from this…
