- Match the sample to the patient. Establish if the patients are diabetics. Do you think the patients have good or poor glycaemic control? Are there any other signs of complications. Patient 1. A 54 year-old male with a history of Type 1 Diabetes requiring insulin administered by pumpwith good A1c levels and a long history of compliance. Patient 2. A 24-year old sexually active male attending an insurance physical with no symptoms and noknown pre-existing conditions. Patient 3. A 22-year old female patient with a history of Type 1 Diabetes, a tendency to forget to takeher insulin and a history of hospitalisations due to diabetic-associated complications. Patient 4. A 24-year old sexually active female with a recent history of amenorrhea complaining ofnausea and increased irritabilityarrow_forwardTwo seperate reflections (own thoughts) on the two pictures: WIC and Basic nutrionarrow_forwardI have to issue this diabetes pen to one of my teacher patients at WMS. This is not his original insulin pen because his name is on the prescription. I cannot tell you his name because of doctor/patient confidentiality. I am, however, his doctor (teaching is a side job for me). Each pen is filled with 3milliliters (ml) of insulin, which is the same as 300 units. Each time he uses it he must "prime" it by wasting 2 units. He then injects 12 units of insulin into his arm. He injects 13 units the next day. Of course, he must prime it again before every use. The 12 and 13 keep alternating. 12 then 13, then 12 then 13, etc... When there are less than 14 units left on the 12 unit day or less than 15 units on the 13 unit day my patient must prime the current pen (as stated above) and then prime a new pen to get the total dose needed. How many insulin pens must this teacher go through until the doses of insulin comes out evenly on that pen? Put another way, there is no insulin left in the pen…arrow_forward
- Give the positive result for the test of purines.arrow_forwardYou are the laboratory manager. The hospital administration wants to penetrate the market and expand the business by performing Parathyroid Surgeries (reimbursement $15,000). They have enticed a prominent surgeon to join the staff He plans on scheduling four surgeries per week - two on Tuesday and two on Thursdays. Every case will need on intact Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) performed STAT during surgery. You currently send this test to your reference laboratory with a minimum 24-hour TAT. None of the analyzers currently in your lab are capable of running this test. The best pricing you obtain is from Siemens Diagnostics for an Immulite 1000. The price of the analyzer is $75,000. The price of the test kit is $800 for 100 tests. The test requires three levels of controls run per 24 hours. The stability of the test kit once opened is eight weeks. Reimbursement for the test is $20. You realize that you will only be able to run on average 32 tests (patient reportable results) before discarding…arrow_forwardYou are the laboratory manager.
