- JH, a 53 year-old female, had not been feeling well lately and suddenly started to feel acutely worse. Shestarted to have shortness of breath, and was experiencing an irregular heartbeat, chest pain, muscleweakness, and feelings of severe nausea. She called 911 and was taken to the hospital where bloodsamples were drawn. JH was diagnosed with hyperkalemia and ordered IV fluids. The IV fluids she was given contained calciumgluconate and insulin. Her potassium levels were monitored over a 24-hour period and were assummarized in Table 2 (attached) Using Table 2, which shows the patient’s plasma K+ concentrations over a 24-hour period, graph thechanges of K+ over time with computer software like Excel (not hand-drawn).

- June Johnson is a 55-year-old female who was admitted to the hospital during two hours of crushing substernal chest pain. On physical examination she was pale and diaphoretic, in obvious distress. Her pulse was 75 and her blood pressure was 75/40. An EKG showed ST elevations, and cardiac enzymes drawn confirmed the diagnosis of a myocardial infarction. B. If you were forced to use a drug to improve her blood pressure, which receptor agonist would be the most helpful for increasing her cardiac output without increasing afterload? Explain.arrow_forwardJane’s doctor tells her that her hemoglobin and hematocrit are fine but her iron stores are a little low she recommends that Jane increases her intake of iron-rich foods and suggests she add a glass of OJ when she is eating breakfast cereal. However, she is diabetic and remembers being told that she is supposed to limit sugary foods like juice. Why did the doctor recommend orange juice with the cereal? Given what you know about diabetes, would you advise Jane to consume the OJ as recommended? Explain Would it be a good idea for Jane to go ahead and take iron supplements at this point? Why or why not? *Two months later, Jane returns to her doctor complaining of symptoms such as difficulty sleeping, worsening fatigue, cold intolerance, and irritability. Her follow-up blood tests show the following Lab Test Result Normal Range Hemoglobin 9.2 g/dL 12-15 g/dL Hematocrit 35% 36-44% MCV 70 fl 82-98 fl Transferrin Saturation 210 mg//dL 250-425 mg…arrow_forwardDefine the following terms:a.
