13) A 55-year-old man presents with an irntant dry cough with persistent bloody sputum for 2 months. No history of fever and expectoration. Physical examination showed no cyanosis, but clubbing fingers (toes) were obvious. The most likely diagnosis is () A Chronic lung abscess B Bronchiectasis C Invasive tuberculosis D bronchial lung cancer E Pneumococcal pneumonia
A 5-month-old girl is brought to the emer- gency department by her parents because she is “turning blue." She is cyanotic, weak, and dyspneic. Her parents state that she has expe- rienced similar episodes in the past, but never this severe. Physical examination reveals the lungs are clear to auscultation, with no wheez- ing, rales, or rhonchi. Cardiac examination reveals a regular rate and rhythm, normal S1, single S2, a grade III rough systolic murmur at the left sternal border in the third intercos- tal space, and a palpable right ventricular lift. Echocardiography demonstrates unusual posi- tioning of the aorta, which overrides both the left and right ventricles in the long axis view. In this condition, the primary developmental defect occurs in which portion of the primitive heart? (A) Bulbus cordis (B) Conal septum (C) Left and right horns of the sinus venosus (D) Primitive atria (E) Primitive ventricle
. Howard Long, 50 years of age, is a male patient diagnosed with bronchiectasis. He has smoked 1 pack per day of cigarettes for 35 years. He has a long history of recurrent bronchial infections. He has a chronic productive cough with copious amounts of purulent sputum. The patient complains that he is short of breath, even at rest. He has clubbing of his fingers. The chest CT scan reveals bronchial dilation. (Learning Objectives 2, 5, and 6) a.How should the nurse explain to the patient and family the pathophysiology of bronchiectasis as it is related to the symptoms the patient is experiencing? b.How should the nurse explain to the patient and family the goals of medical management that may be used to treat bronchiectasis? c.What does the nursing management for bronchiectasis entail?
4. Male patient Howard Long, 50 year of age , has been identified as having bronchiectasis. For 35 years, he smoked one pack of cigarettes per day. He's had recurrent bronchial infections for a very long time. He constantly produces a lot of purulent sputum while coughing. Even when at rest, the patient laments being out of breath. The tips of his fingers are clubbed. Bronchial dilatation can be seen on the chest CT scan.

A 29-year-old previously healthy female presented with a productive cough, fever to 102 oF, and severe headache. She had cervical adenopathy (swollen glands), although she had a nonerythematous throat with no exudate. Chest examination showed crackles bilaterally at the lung base with decreased breath sounds diffusely. This finding was confirmed by chest film that showed bilateral multifocal areas of patchy consolidation. Her neck was not stiff, but because of the severity of the headache, she was admitted to the neurologic service. A spinal fluid was obtained and was negative for bacteria, cryptococcus, and acid-fast smear. Blood cultures and sputum cultures did not produce a pathogen. The patient did not improve on ceftriaxone. On day 3 she was started on erythromycin. On day 4, cold agglutinins were done and were positive. The patient gradually improved although the headache, photophobia, and cough continued for some time QUESTIONS: 1. What is the agent of this disease?…
A 30-year-old man is brought to the emergency department with a knife wound to the chest. On visual inspection, asymmetry of chest movement during inspiration, displacement of the trachea, and absence of breath sounds on the side of the wound are noted. His neck veins are distended, and his pulse is rapid and thready. A rapid diagnosis of tension pneumothorax is made. Discuss the pathogenesis of pneumothorax
21. A 70-year-old man is brought to the emergency department because of a 3-day history of fever and progressive shortness of breath. He also has a history of cough productive of yellow sputum that has recently become thick and green. He has smoked 1 to 2 packs of cigarettes daily for 40 years. His temperature is 40°C (104°F), and respirations are 22/min. Physical examination shows decreased breath sounds. A chest x-ray shows right lower lobe infiltrates surrounding a 3-cm, rounded lesion containing an air-fluid level. Which of the following immune cell activities most likely predominates in the center of this lesion? A) B-lymphocyte antibody production B) Macrophage free-radical generation C) Natural killer cell-mediated killing D) Segmented neutrophil acid hydrolase activation E) T-lymphocyte perforin synthesis W
A 21-year-old man with a past medical history of asthma presented with acute worsening shortness of breath overnight with no identifiable trigger. The patient had experienced this symptom for three weeks although less severe initially. He also stated that the symptom was accompanied by cough, chest tightness, and pain across the anterior chest but could not clearly describe the characteristics of the pain. The difficult breathing was worsened with lying flat. He denied any history of smoking. On initial presentation, his vital signs included a temperature of 36.7°C, a blood pressure of 119/83 mmHg, a heart rate of 105 beats/min, respiratory rate of 18 breaths/min, and an oxygen saturation of 97% on room air. The patient was 170.2 cm tall and weighed 57.2 kg and BMI of 19.79 kg/m2. Physical examination revealed a distressed and ill-appearing male. Cardiopulmonary examination was notable for tachycardia, tachypnea, and decreased breath sounds in both upper lung fields. Laboratory results…
