Sarah dove headfirst into a pool and hit her head on the bottom, fracturing one of her vertebrae which has compressed nerves in the area above and below the fractured vertebra. She is not able to move her right arm, but she can feel when you hold her hand. Determine if each of the following are TRUE or FALSE about Sarah’s injury based on the description of her symptoms. Select A = TRUE and B = FALSE

* She could have damaged her C4 nerve

*The ventral root of the spinal nerve is damaged

*The dorsal horn of the spinal cord is damaged

* She could have damaged her parietal lobe when she hit her head on the bottom, which would cause the arm paralysis

*The brachial plexus may be impaired

Please explain 1-5 for me the answers.

If you friend (Brittnay) came up to you and started talking about brad the chess club captain. A few minutes into the conversation, she starts to hyperventilate at the thought of talking to brad and gets dizzy and confused. But in typical, Brittnay fashion she doesn't stop. To help her out of her stupor, you have several options. You have several options that may or may not help, so please explain how each option can either help or hurt her Co2 levels, O2 levels, acid-base status, etc.

and explain each answer as if you are talking to Brittttnaaaaay.

(OMG gurl, you need to breath in this bag)

1. Give her a bag to rebreath in.

2. Give her some acidic soda to drink,

3. give her an O2 mask to breath into.

4. Make her drink Bicarbonate water (HCO3-)

5. hit brad with an ironing board.

A 60-year-old male patient has a condition called "prostatic hypertrophy."

  • Why does this cause problem, both with starting a stream of urine, as well as with ejaculation?
  • Identify the anatomical location as to why the doctor performed a "digital exam" to identify this prostatic hypertrophy?

Explain the anatomical location where a vasectomy would be performed. Why is this the logical location for it to be the best place for this surgical procedure? Use correct anatomical terms and references to other regional structures.
