The man reached the driver’s compartment just prior to the accident. He was considered to be the main cause of the fatal accident. His breath had the odor of fruity acetone combined with alcohol. He was reported to have minor injuries.
Characters in the case:
Mr. Boulard.
Adequate information:
The results of the tests are as follows:
General | Blood | Urine |
Blood pressure: 95/98 | pH: 7.1 | pH: 4.3 |
HR (heart rate): 110 | Glucose: 345 mg/dl (milligram per deciliter) | Glucose: strongly positive |
Blood alcohol: 110 mg/dl |
Odor: fruity acetone |
Also, glucose is generally absent in the urine.

A 35-year-old woman became severely depressed after the sudden death of her husband. Twomonths later, she was brought to the emergency room by her friend because of extremeweakness and lethargy. She appeared thin and pale. Upon history taking, the doctor found thatshe had not eaten for several weeks. Analysis of the plasma sample indicated elevated levels ofalanine, acetoacetate, β-hydroxybutyrate and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). However, her plasmaglucose concentration was low (55mg/dL). She was hospitalized, given intravenous feeding,antidepressant medications and subsequently shifted to a 1800kCal (7500kJ) diet. Her recoverywas uneventful.3.a) How could the patient maintain her plasma glucose levels within normal limits even though shewas not eating?b
A client with Type 1 diabetes mellitus is admitted to the hospital in a semi-conscious state with fever, nausea, and vomiting. The urine sample was positive for ketone bodies. Which of the following statements regarding the client is correct?
Question 80 options:
a)
Glucagon should be administered to stimulate glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in the liver
b)
An injection of insulin will decrease ketone-body production
c)
The client should be started on a glucose infusion to help them regain consciousness
d)
The client's blood glucose level is well below 4.4 mmol/L

Explain?arrow_forwardRenota, a 51-year-old Slavic woman, lived in Romania with her family on a pig farm. She routinely slaughtered pigs and cooked pork for family meals. She had a wide variety of recipes that called for pork. A few days after preparing one of her famous pork dishes, Renota experienced diarrhea, abdominal pain, and chronic indigestion. She went to her family physician and explained her symptoms to him. The physician, who knew the family well and was familiar with the family business, immediately suspected a bacterial or parasitic infection. A stool sample for routine bacterial culture and O&P study was collected from Renota and submitted to the local diagnostic laboratory. Routine processing procedures were conducted on the stool sample. Gross examination of the stool revealed a portion of the infecting worm (Fig. A). An egg, measuring 36 by 25 um (Fig. B), was seen on the permanent O&P slide. No intestinal bacterial pathogens were isolated. 1. What is the morphologic form of Figure…arrow_forward
