A. Create a 6-column drug study of medications given on the case scenario (include IVF’s). Below is the sample of 6-column table. Thank you.Generic name, brand name if any, classification, dosage, frequency, route of administrationMechanism of actionIndications and drug rationale (why the drug is being given to the patient)ContraindicationCommon side effectsNursing considerations while taking the drug This 50-year-old female has not seen a doctor in a number of years and reports headaches over the past 2 weeks, which she treated athome with ibuprofen. The night of admission, she went to bed but woke around midnight to get some water and ibuprofen, and fell. Herhusband heard her fall and when he arrived at her side he noted she was not moving her left side and was confused and disoriented. She alsohad garbled speech and was complaining of headache by holding her head and moaning. The husband called 911 and EMS arrivedapproximately 5 to 10 minutes after the fall. The paramedics stated that she vomited on way to the hospital and again in the emergencydepartment (ED). Her blood pressure on way was 208 over palpable, she was in sinus rhythm, and her blood sugar was 91. The EMS assessmentalso noted confusion, garbled speech, and absence of movement on her left side to painful stimuli. EMS called the ED on way to initiate a"stroke alert." The estimated time elapsed from the fall to the patient's arrival in the ED is 15 to 20 minutes.Due to the rapid decline of this patient's neurological status, the patient was intubated in the ED. IVF's with Normal Saline solutioninitiated. Her blood pressure was severely elevated on admission so intravenous hydralazine was administered. Citicoline 1gm intravenously asloading dose started.Further physical examination and diagnostic evaluation was done. Stat ECG shows normal sinus rhythm. A stat non-contrast computedtomography (CT) scan of head and CT angiography followed. The patient's CT scan shows a large 6-cm right-sided intraparenchymalhemorrhage with a 16-mm leftward midline shift. While CT angiography results did not identify an aneurysm.Hemorrhagic stroke was the initial diagnosis and pertinent stroke management followed due to rapidly declining neurological status, shewas rushed to the operating room for an emergent right craniotomy and hemorrhagic clot removal. She was then admitted to the ICU for furthermonitoring and management. Medical History:• (-) diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, cancer, and seizure.• (-) recent fevers, chills, nausea, vomiting, dyspnea, cough, pain in the chest, abdomen, or back.(-) complained of numbness, tingling, paresthesia, or edema of the extremities.• (-) history of fall and trauma to the head for the past 2 weeks• (+) recurrent headaches mildly relieved with ibuprofen.Physical Assessment upon admission:• Elevated blood pressure - 251/136• Rapidly deteriorating neurological examination• opens eyes to verbal and tactile stimuli• Deconjugated gaze• Left hemiparesis• Positive left Babinski• able to follow commands on arrival but rapidly declined to unresponsive.

Sgt. Eddie Johns leaned back against the chair in the outpatient... Sgt. Eddie Johns leaned back against the chair in the outpatient orthopedic clinic. His head was killing him! He wasn't sure which was worse, the "morning after" headache or not being able to sleep at night. At least when he had a few beers under his belt so he could catch a few hours of sleep. It had been like this since he was air evacuated back stateside from Afghanistan after the roadside bomb went off. He was thankful that he had only broken his leg in a couple of places and gotten a bad bump on the head. They called that traumatic brain injury but he didn't know what that was and really didn't believe them anyway. He was still thinking just fine. His friend Joe wasn't so lucky! How was Joe going to learn to walk on those artificial legs? He was still in the hospital in Washington, DC. That was pretty far from his home. Eddie wished he could visit Joe. They had been in the same platoon for 9 months. But, Eddie…

The patient was a 62‐year‐old male who was in a normal state of health until he developed symptoms of dizziness and disequilibrium. Other symptoms included unsteadiness on his feet and numbness in both distal lower and upper extremities. Over the course of 2 weeks his presenting symptoms significantly progressed and he developed an intermittent diplopia. Two months later, the patient began to experience progressive dementia, personality changes, psychosis, progressive ataxia, alien limb, and myoclonus. An extensive neurological workup was performed. An electromyogram (EMG) and nerve conduction study (NCS) revealed a demyelinating peripheral neuropathy with axonal features consistent with Guillain‒Barre Syndrome. The patient had two magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analyses that were both suggestive of CJD. However, an electroencephalogram (EEG) study was not suggestive of CJD. A sample of CSF was sent to the National Prion Disease Pathology Surveillance Center (NPDPSC) in…

Meet Mr. Bergen Mr. Bergen, a 72-year-old man, is admitted to the hospital due to an acute onset of a right facial droop, right arm weakness, and difficulty speaking coherently. His symptoms started 6 hours prior while sitting at his kitchen table. He had no headache, loss of consciousness, and no abnormal motor movements. His medical history includes high blood pressure and a heart attack five years ago. His medications include a daily aspirin, and he has been a lifelong smoker. His temperature is normal, his heart rate is 62 beats per minute, and his blood pressure is 135/87. The rest of his neurological and physical exam is normal his heart rhythm is normal, and his blood tests all come back normal. Overview When first trying to put together the factors involved in making a diagnosis from a medical case study, a good place to start is making a set of general observations about the patient. These observations include the patient's history, set of symptoms, general appearance and…
Mr. Q, age 64 years, developed a severe headache several hours ago that has not responded to acetaminophen (Tylenol). Now his speech is slurred, and his right arm and the right side of his face feel numb. He is very anxious and is transported to the hospital. Mr. Q has a history of smoking and arteriosclerosis, and there is a family history of CVA(Cerebrovascular Accident) and diabetes. Assessment at the hospital indicated weakness on the right side, including facial asymmetry and blood pressure of 220/110 Hg mm. A CT scan showed damaged tissue on the left side of the brain, and an angiography indicated a narrowing of the carotid arteries and middle cerebral arteries, with occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery. Explain the predisposing factors in this case, and relate Mr. Q’s initial signs to the pathological changes. Discuss the different types of disabilities That Mr.Q will face and possible treatments plans?
A 75-year-old man was found unconscious in his bathroom after fallingand hitting his head. He survived for several hours but died later in thehospital. An autopsy was performed to determine the exact cause ofdeath. Evidence indicated that the man had suffered two strokes, bothdue to blocked blood vessels. One had occurred a few weeks earlier;the other had occurred very recently and may have led to the fall.Autopsy findings also indicated that, when the man hit his head, somedamage to his brain occurred as well. Based on what you know aboutinflammation and the cellular structure of the brain, describe what thepathologist found in each of the damaged areas of the brain.
A 26-year-old male was returning from a neighborhood store with a six-pack of beer. He attempted to run across a busy street but was struck by a car. He was fully conscious at the scene, complaining of pain in his abdomen and left leg. Examination by paramedics revealed an open fracture of the left tibia with moderate bleeding, left upper quadrant pain with rebound tenderness, and a fast, weak pulse. The leg was immobilized, oxygen was administered, an IV started, and he was transported to the Trauma Center, approximately 10 minutes away. About 3 minutes before arriving at the Trauma Center, he suffered cardiopulmonary arrest from which he could not be resuscitated, despite vigorous advanced life support. At autopsy, his stomach was found to be full of beer, along with 4 whole wieners (without any teeth marks!). His spleen, which is normally about the size of the patient’s fist, was grossly enlarged: it measured from just under the diaphragm to the level of the umbilicus, and from the…
A 24-year-old female visits her GP after having been in an automobile accident three days prior. She reports that while driving in slippery conditions she rear-ended the car in front of her and she was then rear-ended by the car behind her. She was traveling at about 30 mph and her airbags did employ. She reports first responders found no injuries but advised her to follow up with her GP if she developed any unusual symptoms.The woman reports that she seemed fine after the accident but did wake the morning after with a bit of a stiff neck and a headache; she didn't feel this was unusual given the accident and went on about her day. At the end of the next day she had to carry heavy bags up two flights of stairs to her apartment and when almost to her door she felt a zing all the way down her right arm. She immediately put the bags down. When she lifted the bags again her right arm felt numb. She woke this morning with a very stiff neck, stiffness in her upper arm, and “tingles” in her…
