45. A 5-year-old girl with a history of recurrent infections since the age of 4 months is brought to the physician for a follow-up examination. She has had multiple episodes of pneumonia, sinusitis, otitis media, and diarrhea. She is at the 20th percentile for height and weight. Her temperature is 37.4°C (99.3°F). Mild crackles are heard bilaterally over the lower lung lobes. Laboratory studies show: Leukocyte count Segmented neutrophils Eosinophils 10,500/mm³ (N=5500-15,500) 57% 2% Lymphocytes 34% CD3+ T lymphocytes 67% CD19+ B lymphocytes 28% CD56+ natural killer cells 5% Monocytes 7% Serum IgA IgG IgM undetectable (N=14-159 mg/dL) 25 mg/dL (N=345-1236) 410 mg/dL (N=43-207) This patient most likely has an abnormality of which of the following immune system components? A) Activation-induced deaminase B) CD40 ligand OC) Class II MHC protein D) Common y chain of the interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor E) Recombination-activating gene 1 F) Terminal complement

Eileen Jamison brings her 7-year-old son, Keith, to the health care provider for a checkup. Keith has a history of asthma since he was 2 years old. Over the past year, Keith has experienced several acute asthma attacks requiring visits to the emergency department and subsequent hospitalization for treatment. During the visit, Eileen states, “This past year has been a nightmare. What a roller coaster it has been. Just when I think we have things under control, wham, he gets sick! I’m afraid to let him go anywhere or do anything because it seems like when he does, he winds up back in the hospital. My husband says I’m being paranoid. But I can’t help it.”a. How would the nurse respond to Eileen?b. What additional information would be important to gather before providing Eileen with suggestions to help her cope with Keith’s illness?c. What growth and development needs are crucial for Keith at this age? How might his illness be impacting these needsAnswer each subpart in detail on your…
187. A previously healthy 59-year-old man comes to the emergency department because of a 1-day history of fever, shortness of breath, and productive cough. He appears to be in moderate distress. His temperature is 38.4°C (101.1°F), and respirations are 26/min. Pulse oximetry on room air shows an oxygen saturation of 88%. Bronchial breath sounds are heard over the right lung base posteriorly with egophony and increased tactile fremitus. A chest x-ray shows right lower lobe pneumonia. Which of the following mechanisms is the most likely cause of the hypoxia in this patient? A) Alveolar fibrosis B) Hypoventilation C) Right-to-left cardiac shunt D) Right ventricular failure E) Ventilation-perfusion mismatch 27
Sylvia Gaylord works as a paralegal on the 12th floor of a tall glass-and-steel monument to modern architectural technology. On clear days, the views are spectacular. From her cubicle, Sylvia's eye catches the edge of the beautiful blue-and-white skyscraper as she reaches for her inhaler. Unfortunately, this is the third asthma attack she has experienced since she returned from lunch four hours ago—her asthma is really bad today. But if she leaves work early again, her boss will write her up for it. Sylvia concentrates on breathing normally. Her roommate, Kelly, is a respiratory therapist at the county hospital. Kelly says Sylvia's asthma attacks are probably triggered by the city's high level of air pollution and high levels of pollen. That can't be true. They both run in the park every morning before work, and Sylvia rarely needs to use her inhaler then. Her problems start when she gets to work. The wheezing and coughing were so bad today that by the time she got up the elevator and…
pediatric, please fill the report For any case that has been studied of any child with bronchitis, you can write a case of just as an example. The important thing is to fill the report with what makes sense.
Sharon is a 68 year old woman presenting short of breath, pale and cyanosed and talking in short sentences while holding her chest. She is coughing most the time. Sharon has been diagnosed with pneumonia with SPO2 range of 93%, RR 28 and irregular and temp 38.4 degrees centigrade. How would a nursing intervention of patient positioning help Sharon and how does it relate to the underlying pathophysiology of her condition.
107 A 23-year-old woman comes to the physician because of a 3-hour history of sharp left chest wall pain when she breathes deeply or coughs. She also has an 8-day history of fever, headache, nasal congestion, and productive cough. Her temperature is 38°C (100 4°F), and respirations are 18/min Physical examination shows decreased breath sounds over the left posterior hemithorax. A chest x-ray shows left lower lobe pneumonia and a pleural effusion on the left. Sensory fibers in which of the following nerves most likely transmit the pain sensation from the chest wall when this patient coughs? A) Cardiac plexus B) Intercostal nerves C) Long thoracic nerve D) Thoracic splanchnic nerves E) Vagus nerve
113. A 10-month-old girl develops a cough and grunting following a 3-day hospital stay for surgical repair of a cleft palate. Her temperature is 39.2°C (102.6°F), and respirations are 40/min. Crackles are heard over most lung fields, and breath sounds are decreased. There is a mild pleural rub in the right upper thorax. Her leukocyte count is 68,000/mm³ (85% segmented neutrophils, 10% bands, and less than 5% myeloblasts, promyelocytes, and myelocytes). Which of the following mechanisms most likely caused the increased leukocyte count in this patient? A) Accelerated release of cells from the bone marrow postmitotic reserve pool B) Decreased margination and rolling of circulating cells C) Increased production of myeloblasts in the spleen D) Shift in bone marrow from eosinophil production to segmented neutrophil production E) Transformation of myeloid stem cells

A 16-month-old female patient is seen with her father by an ENT specialist. The father reports that she has a cold and runny nose. The nasal discharge is yellow and purulent. Although the patient was uncooperative during the exam, the physician was able to visualize a foreign object wedged between the superior and middle turbinates in her left nostril. He calls a surgery center to schedule removal of the object the next afternoon. Why can’t the object be removed in the doctor’s office?
Mrs blaze a 68 years old female visit her primary care provider office she has not been feeling well. Mrs blaze tells the nurse that she has been experiencing regular episodes of shortness of breath and fatigue for the last 2 weeks she does not have fever or productive cough. Upon assessment the client states that she has been smoking one pack of cigarettes per day for the past 40 years. 1 explain the normal age related changes that are occurring in Mrs blaze respiratory system. 2. Explain the normal process of inspiration and expiration. 3. Describe the physiological process that is occurring when Mrs blaze becomes short of breath.
What is the most likely cause of the patient's condition? Explain how you arrived at this conclusion. What is the most likely causative agent? How did the patient contract the disease?
The patient asked the difference between the two inhalers. How will you explain it to her?
