2. A 48-year-old known hypertensive man is brought to the hospital with 3day history of fever and a productive cough. There is positive history of headache and is increasingly confused. Drug history include hydrochlorothiazide and lisinopril for hypertension. Patient is allergic to amoxicillin. On examination, the temperature was 38.7°C [101.7°F]), blood pressure 90/54 mmHg, respiratory rate 36/min, and pulse 110/min. there was no signs of meningeal irritation but oriented only to person. A chest x-ray shows a left lower lung consolidation. A CT scan is not contributory

a. what is your working diagnosis and 2 differential diagnoses? b. what’s drug (s) of choice? Why c. what counselling wil you provide to the patient? d. write a summary on your diagnosis

Acid-base balance of the blood

Mr. Un. Metabalki was brought to the ER. His arterial blood results contained the following: pH = 7.54, pCO2=40 mmHg, HCO3 - =34 mEq/L.

Mrs. I. Donno entered ER comatose and with shallow infrequent breaths. Her friend said she might have taken an overdose of a narcotic drug. Her arterial blood values were: pH = 7.18, pCO2=80 mmHg, HCO3 - =31 mEq/L.

It has been a busy day, but your shift is nearly over. It looks like your last patient will be Norman O’Normally. His arterial blood results are: pH = 7.38, pCO2=33 mmHg, HCO3 - =19 mEq/L.

Oops! One more patient’s lab results were found at the bottom of the pile. Before you go home, interpret her arterial blood data: pH = 7.43, pCO2=32 mmHg, HCO3 - =20 mEq/L

The patient is a 38 year old male plant manager and new long distance runner presenting with complaints of left anterolateral hip and thigh pain. He was referred to physiotherapy from his orthopedist, who diagnosed him with greater trochanteric bursitis.
His onset of symptoms was 6 weeks prior to the initial evaluation, after running a marathon (26.2 miles). By the end of the race, he was in intense, constant pain, rated at a 5/10 that remained constant for 3 days after. His symptoms became intermittent, and have not changed much since that time. His plan was to run 4 marathons in the next year, but he has stopped running completely, as every time he runs the pain comes back to the same intensity it was immediately after the race.
Since becoming symptomatic he has tried many stretches and strengthening exercises he researched on the internet. He has also received advice from his massage therapist. However, the same pain comes back when he runs. He has good shoes, and changes them every 250-300 miles, per industry recommendations. Because of all of his research, he is concerned that this is an issue that is going to keep him from running altogether.
When asked if the patient had any imaging, he replied “only an xray”. Then he said, “Why, do you think I need an MRI?” Sensing fear of life-altering structural damage, the patient was assured that one of the goals of physiotherapy is to determine the right place for them. With a careful assessment over 2-3 visits, we should know if further testing is necessary.
