Medic Case Study

/in /by

 I need this in next 12 hours.

Case Study ► Peter Smith is a 73-year-old male with mild Type 2 diabetes. He states that he has needed to urinate more frequently during the last 2 weeks, and he feels a burning sensation when he urinates. He has also been very tired lately. Based on the vital signs you measured and Peter’s current complaints, the physician ordered a fasting blood glucose and a urinalysis.

What is the likely diagnosis for Mr. Smith?
Why did the physician order both a urinalysis and a blood glucose test?
Why might Mr. Smith’s vital signs show that his temperature is slightly elevated?
Based on the laboratory test results, the physician prescribed an antibiotic for Mr. Smith. What can you advise Mr. Smith to do in addition to taking the antibiotic as prescribed?

Diversity in the Media

Review the module resources and overview, then select a popular culture example. (It can be a television show, a commercial, a game, a movie, etc.). Analyze the representation and social message that is associated with the example. If you would like, you can select a particular episode of a show.

In your initial post, briefly describe the popular culture example you selected and address the following:

  • What is the composition of the primary characters, and what groups within diversity do they represent?
  • What is the latent (or unintended) social message or commentary about a particular group to society that is reflected by this example?
  • What are the social implications of this message? Briefly discuss any potential social impact or response to the example.

Make sure you support your response with the readings from this module, and any additional resources if needed.

Connections must be made from the readings from this module and are attached below.

Part One:

Using the directional terms in the table from your textbook, describe how you, or someone close by you, is sitting or standing. Include at least 5 of the terms describing body positioning and movement. Then describe the opposite (for example, if you said your foot was plantar flexed, use dorsiflexed) for all of the terms you used, and make a guess whether you would be comfortable in that position.

Your response should be posted to the Discussion Area below. By the end of the week, begin commenting on at least 2 of your peers’ responses. Ask questions, further the discussion of the topic, reinforce a response, or add another dimension to the discussion. Always use constructive language.

Part Two

Think of a few examples or do some research into examples where the prefix or suffix of a root word changes the meaning from one term to another. Why is it critical for medical professionals to understand and use prefixes and suffixes carefully?

Discussion Assignment

The discussion assignment provides a forum for discussing relevant topics for this week based on the course competencies covered.

Post your initial response to the Discussion Area by the due date assigned.  To support your work, use your course text readings and also use outside sources. As with all assignments, cite your sources and provide references in APA format.

Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at least two of your classmates. Participate in the discussion by providing a point of view with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a relationship between two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Complete your participation for this assignment by the due date assigned.

Discussion:

Your first patient has a musculoskeletal complaint. Using the chart of musculoskeletal medical word elements from your textbook, construct 10 medical terms that would reasonably be involved in a complaint dealing with the muscles and/or bones. Each term should include its meaning in parentheses. Then list 3 tests or procedures that would reasonably be involved in evaluating a patient like this.

Your second patient has a gastrointestinal complaint. Using the chart of digestive medical word elements from your textbook, construct 10 medical terms that would reasonably be involved in a complaint dealing with the digestive tract. Each term should include its meaning in parentheses. Then list 3 tests or procedures that would reasonably be involved in evaluating a patient like this.

Your final patient has a respiratory problem, so something having to do with her breathing or lungs needs to be described. Again, use at least 10 terms from the reading, especially using the respiratory medical word elements from your textbook. Also, you need to include 3 tests or procedures that will help you to discover what the problem with your patient is.

I need it if 15 hours time.

As a medical assistant, you are performing reagent chemical strip analyses on patient specimens when you discover a specimen that is more than 2 hours old and has been sitting at room temperature during this time.

When you remove the lid from the container, you smell a foul, ammonia-like odor. The chemical strip indicates positive protein, positive nitrite, and positive bacteria. The microscopic analysis reveals four bacteria but no evidence of white blood cells.

What is the maximum length of time that a urine specimen should be left at room temperature?

If analysis cannot be performed within that maximum length of time, how should the specimen be handled?

An ammonia-like or foul odor associated with a specimen ordinarily indicates what condition or disease?

Does the chemical analysis confirm your suspicion associated with the odor? Given the circumstances, can you trust the results on this specimen?

Read the article below and using the medical terminology that you’ve learned in the course so far give your opinion as to how these abbreviations can or can’t be dangerous to use.
