Car accident: 2-in-1 case Cecilia was taken to the hospital after she got into a car accident. She hit her head on the left side window and lost consciousness. She woke up after few hours in the hospital and was fully aware but started feeling numb on her right hand and seemed to have partially lost her memory. During testing to evaluate her condition she was able to draw letters and shapes but not to the extent of fine details. She was later scheduled for further testing and treatment. Discuss her case and post it in the discussion board based on the following questions 1-Cecilia’s CT scan showed internal bleeding in what could possibly cause the numbness in her right hand? In Which area was the bleeding? discuss your answer 2- What is your analysis on her evaluation results? Name the case and brain area that was affected.

B. Question A 75-year-old man was found unconscious in his bathroom after falling and hitting his head. He survived for several hours but died later in the hospital. An autopsy was performed to determine the exact cause of death. Evidence indicated that the man had suffered two strokes, both due 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, some damage to his brain occurred as well. Based on what you know about inflammation and the cellular structure of the brain, describe what the pathologist found in each of the damaged areas of the brain. C. Question Predict the effect of a decrease in the extracellular concentration of Ca2+ on the resting membrane potential.

CASE STUDY A mother expecting her first child miscarried at home on June 22, 2010. The pregnancy was six months along. An ambulance was called at 4:57 a.m. The EMTs helped the mother to the stretcher and then went inside to retrieve the fetus from the bathroom floor. The baby was seen moving its head. The EMTs requested ALS to the scene. The baby was placed inside a small container. The ALS personnel visually assessed the fetus and stated the fetus was "non-viable". There was never a fetal heart check in the field. Mother and fetus were transported to the hospital arriving at 5:16 a.m. At the hospital, a nurse noticed that the fetus was warm and had a heartbeat. The baby was raced to the special care nursery and placed on a warmer. The staff then proceeded to resuscitate the baby. The baby was dusky and noted to have a heart rate of 30 with respirations of 6-8 at 5:40 a.m., and cardiopulmonary resuscitation was initiated. The oxygen saturation was 2-10%. The baby was intubated at 5:55…

Pathophysiology: chapter 7: Neoplasia Jane Foster [JF] is a 26-year-old woman in the clinic today for her annual physical examination. As the nurse performs the initial physical assessment, it becomes apparent the client is quite concerned about her risk for developing breast cancer. Her mother and a maternal aunt both developed breast cancer in their late 40s. JF “heard that genetic testing can be done” to see whether she carries “breast cancer genes.” The nurse knows JF is asking about the BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation genes. What additional information could the nurse share with JF? 1.Explain the role mutation genes have in the genetic mechanisms of breast cancer development.

CC: She is not sleeping and acts like her ear hurts HPI: 10-mo-old girl, who is scheduled to be seen for an “ear infection.” Her mother reports that she was awake a lot during the night. “I think she was pulling at her right ear.

Lydia is a retired nurse. She is 63 years old. As a child she had rheumatic fever. At the age of 34 she had a mitral valve replaced. She is 10% over her ideal body weight. She used to be quite active when she was working, but she has slowed down a lot with retirement. She has noticed bouts of dizziness and sometimes she thought she was close to fainting. Other times her heart seemed to race. She thought that maybe she needed to see a cardiologist and so she set up an appointment for a cardiac evaluation. Her examination included x-rays, EKG, blood pressure measurement, and a full cardiac workup. The results showed a mild pulmonary congestion, an enlarged left atrium and ventricle. Cardiac output was 3.0 L/ min, blood pressure was 101/57, left atrial pressure was 17 mm Hg, and the right ventricular pressure was 44/8 mm Hg. The EKG indicated an atrial arrhythmia and there appeared to be some valvular regurgitation when the cardiologist listened to her heart sounds. Include references…
