Ken Washington, a 61-year-old male patient, arrived today for a follow-up visit from a recent hospitalization for a stroke. Up until this hospitalization, he has had no major health issues. He now has weakness in his left arm and his speech is difficult to understand. His wife tells you that she has noticed some blood in the toilet after he urinates. She also tells you that he has had some pain when he urinates and often only urinates a small amount. Dr. Buckwalter would like for you to obtain a urine sample for a reagent test and have Ken collect a 24-hour urine sample for analysis.
Discussion Questions:
1. What instructions will you give Ken in collecting the urine sample for reagent testing?
2. What tests are included in a reagent test?
3. Describe the instructions you will need to give Ken regarding his 24-hour urine collection.
Please answer all 3 questions separately. Thank you!!

A patient with portal hypertension secondary to
chronic liver cirrhosis was admitted in the surgical ward. The
patient presented with emaciated body build, distended abdomen with
prominent veins, and jaundice. The doctor ordered paracentesis and

time (PT), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT), Total
Protein, Albumin-Globulin ratio, AST, ALT.
List down two (2) nursing diagnoses and create a
hypothetical FDAR for the patient.
Why is there a need to check the PT and APTT levels of
the patient prior paracentesis?
What is the rationale behind the order of checking the
Total Protein, Albumin-Globulin ratio?
Enumerate the following regarding the nursing role in
assisting with paracentesis:

Roberta is a 46-year-old real estate agent who recently underwent a cholecystectomy (surgery to remove painful gallstones). The surgery was performed laparoscopically with the aid of a duodenoscope, a specialized endoscope that allows surgeons to see inside the body with the aid of a tiny camera. On returning home from the hospital, Roberta developed abdominal pain and a high fever. She also experienced a burning sensation during urination and noticed blood in her urine. She notified her surgeon of these symptoms, per her postoperative instructions.
Roberta’s physician suspected that a bacterial infection was responsible for her sudden-onset high fever, abdominal pain, and bloody urine. Based on these symptoms, the physician diagnosed a urinary tract infection (UTI). A wide variety of bacteria may cause UTIs, which typically occur when bacteria from the lower gastrointestinal tract are introduced to the urinary tract. However, Roberta’s recent gallstone surgery caused the physician to suspect that she had contracted a nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infection during her surgery. The physician took a urine sample and ordered a urine culture to check for the presence of white blood cells, red blood cells, and bacteria. The results of this test would help determine the cause of the infection. The physician also prescribed a course of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin, confident that it would clear Roberta’s infection.

Using the SARS-CoV-2 tests, explain the processes required for scaling up production of the newer diagnostic testing in a global pandemic and regulatory processes required for use of new diagnostic tests for COVID-19 within Australia, Europe and the United States of America. This section is to describe the some of the manufacturing challenges associated with meeting the rapid demand for tests during emergency or disaster management. Diagnostic tests require regulatory approval by FDA (US), TGA (Australia) and CE (European Union). How do companies ensure product can be continued to be manufactured and distributed to meet global need during a pandemic and what short cuts exist to certify products safe for use in humans during emergency situations such as a pandemic?
