Mr. and Mrs. John Takahama, a young couple who had been trying unsuccessfully to have a family for years, underwent a series of tests with a fertility clinic to try to determine the problem. Mr. Takahama was found to have a normal sperm count, and the sperm morphology and motility were normal. Mrs. Takahama's history sheet revealed that she had two episodes of PID during her early 20s, and the time span between successive menses ranged from 21 to 30 days. She claimed that her family was "badgering" her about not giving them grandchildren and that she was frequently despondent. A battery of hormonal tests was ordered, and Mrs. Takahama was asked to perform a cervical mucus test and daily basal temperature recordings. Additionally, gas was blown through her uterine tubes to determine their patency. Her tubes proved to be closed and she was determined to be anovulatory. (1) If Mr.Takahama count had been low, what type of information should be collected to determine the cause of the low count? (2) What do you suggest might have caused the closing of her tubes? Which of the tests done or ordered would have revealed her anovulatory condition? What is PID? What would cause this condition?

Sperm can survive in the female reproductive system for six days, but they need to have 10 hours after ejaculation to undergo capacitation. Ovulation typically occurs on day 14 of a woman's menstrual cycle. An ovulated egg can survive only up to 24 hours if it is not fertilized. Given this information, what days of a woman's sexual cycle would be a window of opportunity for an egg to be fertilized?

Mary, the director of nursing at a regional blood bank, is concerned about the declining number of blood donors. It’s May, and Mary knows that the approaching summer will mean increased demands for blood and decreased supplies, especially of rare blood types. She is excited, therefore, when a large corporation offers to host a series of blood drives at all of its locations, beginning at corporate headquarters. Soon after Mary and her staff arrive at the corporate site, Mary hears a disturbance. Apparently, a nurse named Peggy was drawing blood from a male donor with a very rare blood type when the donor fondled her breast. Peggy jumped back and began to cry. Joe, a male colleague, sprang to Peggy’s defense and told the donor to leave the premises. To Mary’s horror, the male donor was a senior manager with the corporation.

- What is the ethical dilemma in this case?

- What values are in conflict?

- How should Mary deal with Peggy, Joe, the donor, and representatives of the corporation?

Of the following answers, which correctly describes why herd immunity against SARS-CoV-2 would result in reduced transmission of the virus?

a.) the virus can infect individuals with immunity, but the immune system would ignore the virus, so no symptoms would occur

b.) the virus is unable to enter and infect individuals who have immunity

c.) individuals with immunity would have a rapid and effective humoral immune response against the virus which would prevent the virus from replicating and shedding

d.) individuals with immunity would have a stronger innate immune response against SARS-CoV-2 so macrophages would recognize and destroy the virus quicker

Daniel Purcel was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus when he was 12 years old. He is now a nursing student. He has managed to control his diabetes throughout school. However, when he began his clinicals, his regular schedule of meals and insulin injections was completely disrupted. One morning, Daniel completely forgot to take his insulin. At 7am he drank orange juice and ate two doughnuts. At 8am he drank more juice because he was very thirsty. He mentioned to a fellow student that he felt confused, weak, and that his heart was racing. At 9:06 am, he fell unconscious. He was transferred immediately to the emergency room, where the following information was obtained:

Blood pressure: 90/40
Pulse: 130, regular, strong
Respirations: 32, regular rhythm, deep, labored (“Kussmaul”) Plasma glucose: 560 mg/dL (normal fasting 70-110 mg/dL) Plasma HCO3-: 8 mEq/L (normal 24 mEq/L)
Plasma ketones: ++ (normal none)
Arterial PO2: 112 mmHg (normal 100 mmHg)
Arterial PCO2: 20 mmHg (normal 40 mmHg)
Arterial pH: 7.22

The physician determined that Daniel was in diabetic ketoacidosis. He was given an intravenous infusion of isotonic saline and insulin. Later, after his blood glucose had decreased to 175 mg/dL, glucose was added to the infusion. Daniel stayed in the hospital overnight. By the next morning, his blood glucose, electrolytes, and blood gas values were normal.

Questions:

18.Which acid-base disorder did Daniel have? What caused it? Why did he present with Kussmaul respirations? Explain these all in the context of the laboratory test results.

19.How did Daniel’s failure to take insulin cause this acid-base disorder?

20.Explain Daniel’s thirst, low blood pressure, tachycardia, confusion, and weakness.

21.Explain the basis for the treatments provided (saline, insulin, and glucose).
