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?

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.
