As exercise increases, systolic blood pressure increases, diastolic blood pressure stays constant or increases very minimally and heart rate increase at a high rate. What is the underlying physiological reason for the response in blood pressure changes seen during a dynamic portion of a lab?

Lynn, age 36, nonsmoker. Height = 64 in (162.6 cm), weight = 108 lb (49.1 kg), BMI = 18.5 kg/m^2. Resting blood pressure = 142/86 mmHg. Total cholesterol = 174 mg/dl. Blood glucose is normal, but with insulin injections. She is Type 1 diabetic and was diagnosed at age 7.

1) When learning about blood vessels and circulation it is also important to understand blood pressure. What exactly is blood pressure and how is it measured? How do you know if someone has low, normal, or high blood pressure, and are there any risks associated with high or low?

2) Pulse is defined as the throbbing of the arteries as blood is propelled through them. But what else is important for us to know about a pulse? Why do we even measure pulse? What is the typical measurement to expect? And where are the areas where it should be measured?

3)There are 3 different types of blood vessels: arteries, veins, and capillaries. Can you describe the main differences between each one?

A white blood cell count is often done when patients present to their doctor for an illness.

How does knowing the relative value of the white blood cells help to identify disease states?

Give an example by choosing a disease and indicating which type of white blood cell would be higher than normal.

Explain why this would be the case.

Explain why a larger diameter axon can tolerate a larger fenestration node separation and still conduct impulses efficiently (incorporate into your answer what you have learned about R_m, Ri, and capacitance):

Maggie is a 61 year old female referred to home health OT on October 29th with a diagnosis of R Colles fracture. Maggie fell while shopping at her neighborhood department store on October 27th. The physician has ordered OT to evaluate and treat.

Often times the OT will be given the client’s name and diagnosis and little else. The information given above is typical of the information you may be given to start a case. With this information, the therapist can start to think about how the case should be approached.  

The stage of reasoning development should also be considered (novice - expert)

Even though the information given is minimal, there is much that you may already know about the case. Think about what you know already and what you will need to know to effectively manage the case. Consider your developmental stage/experience. You may have learned this information from school and/or from life experiences. To guide your analysis of what you do or do not know, answer the questions below:

• Do you know what a Colles fracture is? (procedural reasoning)

• Do you know what the clinical signs and symptoms of a Colles fracture are? Complicating factors? (procedural reasoning)

• Do you know the medical management for a Colles fracture? Precautions? (procedural reasoning)

• What is the prognosis of recovery post-Colles fracture? (procedural reasoning)

• What might this woman “look like” (client factors/clinical presentation) and be able to do 2 days post-Colles fracture? (procedural reasoning)

• Do you have an image of the capabilities of a 61-year old woman who goes shopping? (narrative reasoning)

• Might this image give you some indication of her prior level of function and roles as well as an idea of her discharge situation and goals? (conditional reasoning)

• Do you know her perception or how the woman feels about this injury? (interactive reasoning)

• Do you know what resources are available? physical, social and financial (pragmatic reasoning)
