48. A 58-year-old woman comes to the office because of a 1-month history of fatigue, fever, shortness of breath, and joint pain; she also has had a 3.2-kg (7-lb) weight loss during this period. Her temperature is 37.6°C (99.7°F), and respirations are 34/min. Physical examination shows tenderness to palpation over the maxillary sinus, nasal ulcerations, and a bulging, red left tympanic membrane. Laboratory studies show: Erythrocyte sedimentation rate Serum C-reactive protein 65 mm/h 8.2 mg/L (N=0.08-3.1) 2+ 2+ Urine Blood Protein Histologic examination of a biopsy specimen of affected lung tissue shows granulomata and vasculitis. An autoantibody is most likely directly binding which of the following cell types in this patient? OA) Basophils B) Endothelial cells C) Fibroblasts D) Neutrophils E) Plasma cells

Mr. H is a 52-year-old male who presents to the emergency department. His left leg is in a cast, and he states that 1 week ago he was in an automobile crash and broke his upper leg. Since that time, he has had difficulty “getting around” and has mostly been lying on the couch watching television. On the evening of admission he noticed a sudden onset of dyspnea and chest pain. He denies having orthopnea, cough, hemoptysis, or wheezing. He smoked two packs of cigarettes a day for 19 years but quit 3 years ago. The ABG analysis of Mr. H suggests uncompensated respiratory alkalosis with mild hypoxemia, with base excess of -1 in her arterial side, whereas -4 in her venous side. Part 1: Her actual arterial-venous oxygen content difference (Ca-vO2) is 5.31 mL/dL. (Normal range considered here is 3.5 to 5 mL/dL) Part 2: Patient's actual oxygen extraction ratio (O2ER) was 29%. (Say normal range is 20-28%) What is clinically happening to the patient?
When the nurse is talking with a client who is experiencing "lightening." the client would most likely state which of the following? a. "lcan breathe easier now." b. I don't have to urinate as often now." c. My lower back pain is gone now. d. My feet are more swollen than before."

He has a two-day history of severe stomach pains and has suffered on and off with indigestion for some months. He is a life-long smoker, with mild chronic heart failure (CHF) for which he has been taking enalapril 5 mg twice daily for 2 years. He also recently started taking naproxen 500 mg twice daily for arthritis. He works a stressful job and drinks large amounts of caffeinated coffee daily. Yesterday his hemoglobin was reported as 9.3 g/dL, hematoocrit 30%, RBC's 3.2, platelets 162, INR 1.1 with Liver Function Test normal. He was mildly tachycardic (110 bpm) and had a slightly low blood pressure of 100/77 mmHg and was given 1.5 L of saline. He has just returned from an endoscopy this morning and has been newly diagnosed as having a bleeding duodenal ulcer. They took a biopsy to determine if he is positive for H-pylori. He has been written up for his usual medication for tomorrow if he is…
1). You are working on the post anesthesia care unit and caring for a client 1 hour after bowel surgery. They rate their pain a 7 on a scale of one to ten at the incision site. The pain is described as a sharp, aching sensation. Your client has not eaten any food yet, and is slightly nauseated. She is currently on 2 liters of oxygen via nasal cannula and is saturating at 95%. You review the healthcare provider’s orders and find the following:Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen 5/325 PO every 4-6 hours PRN 2-5 mg Morphine sulfate IV every 1-2 hours PRNAcetaminophen 1,000 gram IV every 6 hours PRNValium 5-10 mg IV every 2 6 hours PRNa. Which medication is the best selection?b. In regards to the analgesic, what is your priority to assess? c. If you administered the medication at 09:05, at what time should you reassess the patient’s pain level? B). You reassess your client and find them difficult to arouse, pupils are pinpoint and non-reactive, and their oxygen saturation is 79% on the 2 liters…
A 26-year-old woman presents at 4 weeks post partum with headaches, profound weakness, nausea, and vomiting. She had been breast-feeding. Physical examination fi ndings are unremarkable.

Mr. Grady, a 70-year-old male with a history of arthritis, is evaluated by his rheumatologist for a sudden onset of excruciating pain and classic symptoms of gout in the first metatarsal joint of the left great toe. He appears at the office using crutches to avoid bearing weight on his left foot. His vital signs are temperature 100.6, pulse 88, respirations 28, and blood pressure 164/92. He describes the level of his pain at 10 when not at rest. Mr. Grady’s left toe appears inflamed and is very tender to the touch. Diagnostic evaluation turns up urate crystals in the joint fluid, and a blood serum uric acid test indicates hyperuricemia. Mr. Grady mentions he and his wife have just returned from a cruise celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversary. He states that he enjoyed lots of his favorite foods, including shrimp and steak, and that he drank a great deal of beer.

A lethargic 22-month old black female was presented by her mother to the emergency room at 2:15am on a Sunday. The child had a history of a runny nose, hoarse cough and low-grade fever (-99F) for the past 48 hours. The mother was concerned about the forced and noisy breathing of the child. The pediatrician examined the child and found cloudy eyes and mild inflammation of the ears, but no overt signs of bacterial infection (no significant changes in the eardrums). The throat of the child was red and coated with mucus. The larynx was swollen and raw. The physician performed a rapid Strep test and found it was negative. Throat swabs were taken for culture. The physician placed the child in a room with a warm vaporizer for about 30 minutes. This dramatically improved the breathing of the child. 1. What is the infectious agent that caused this case? 2. Do you believe that this is a bacterial or viral disease? Why? 3. What further treatment is indicated for this case?
