A patient comes in complaining that they chronically feel cold and can’t seem to get warm. You take their temperature and find that it is 35.4 C in a cool exam room (normal is 37 C). Provide three different possible explanations of what could be going wrong. These explanations should involve at least two different body systems.

With the assistance of police officers, you get the patient in the ambulance safely and restrain the patient with velcro wrist restraints that are attached to the ambulance bed. Which set of vital signs would be most consistent with a patient like this with a likely sympathomimetic/stimulant overdose? Pulse 80, Blood pressure 130/90, respiratory rate 28, sweaty Pulse 140, Blood pressure 170/90, respiratory rate 28, sweaty Pulse 140, Blood pressure 130/90, respiratory rate 14, dry Pulse 80, Blood pressure 170/90, respiratory rate 20, dry
Bertha is a 75 years old First Nations elder who is recovering from a fractured pelvis. She has been working with the physiotherapists to ensure that she does not lose strength before being discharged from hospital. Today she had a session with the physiotherapists. Before taking Bertha to the gym, a set of vital signs were collected before she gets out of bed. Results are: RR 14 bpm, SpO2 98%, BP 130/70 mmHg (Mean arterial pressure 90 mmHg), HR 74 bpm. The nurse tells the physios that Bertha is well and has no cardiovascular or respiratory diseases. The physiotherapists took her to the gym, where she undertook some exercises under their direction. Collect cues: After the first round of exercises, they check her vital signs again. Her respiratory rate is now 20 bpm, her SpO2 is 100% on room air, BP is 140/80 mmHg (Mean arterial pressure 100 mmHg), and HR is 90 bpm. She is observed to be breathing deeply and using accessory muscles. Question: Would you expect Bertha's arterial pH…

They were on the second floor of the building searching for people trapped inside when the floor beneath them fell through. They were taken immediately from the fire to the emergency room and the followiing symptoms were noted: minor burns and abrasions to exposed portions of their body, a twisted ankle from falling through the ceiling, broken ribs from falling onto their side, a cough from particulate inhalation, and an elevated heart rate. Their oxygen saturation appears normal, but their vital capacity is not much bigger than their resting tidal volume. Given this information, what is most likely causing these effects on their ventilation? O The cough. O The broken ribs. O The burns and abrasions. O. The elevated heart rate.
