Mr. Aponi has a history of dementia. His dementia limits his ability to respond appropriately to questions and at times Mr. Aponi is easily agitated and resistant to nursing care. He refuses to take his medications, spitting them back out, gripping the bedside rail when the nurse tries to turn him, and yelling out for his wife to save him.

Case Study

Mr. Aponi is an 85-year-old man with a history of dementia. He is a resident of a long-term facility. Mr. Aponi’s frequent incontinence necessitates the development of therapeutic communication to facilitate activities of daily living (ADL) care and frequent skin hygiene. The nurse caring for Mr. Aponi for the first time soon learns that talking slowly and softly is the most effective way of focusing the client’s attention and prompting him to follow basic instructions such as turning side to side. The nurse feels uneasy about speaking to Mr. Aponi as if he were a child in some ways. However, the nurse finds that this manner of speech keeps Mr. Aponi calm and that he responds well to praise and compliments and that he is very helpful to the nurse in assisting with his own care. On the second day of caring for him, the nurse notes that Mr. Aponi is more agitated and needs frequent reorientation regarding where he is. The nurse needs the assistance of another person to hold Mr. Aponi’s arm steady while assessing his blood pressure since Mr. Aponi keeps pulling his arm away yelling “no.” At one point in the day, Mr. Aponi tells the nurse, “There was a little boy in the room a minute ago. Where did he go?” The nurse knows there was not a little boy in the room, but does not know how to respond. The nurse ignores Mr. Aponi’s comment and redirects his attention to what is on television. When saying good-bye to Mr. Aponi at the end of the second day, the nurse is disappointed that Mr. Aponi does not seem to recognize the nurse or remember that the nurse has been caring for him for the past two days. The nurse is saddened to see him so confused and is emotionally exhausted after two days of responding to his frequent changes in behavior.

Questions

The nurse caring for Mr. Aponi overhears another nurse state, “Well, of course he is confused. He is 85 years old.” How should Mr. Aponi’s nurse respond?

Describe the following strategies for caring for a confused client: validation, redirection, and reminiscence.

Discuss the importance of nonverbal communication when communicating with a person who is confused and agitated.

What are three nursing diagnoses appropriate for Mr. Aponi’s plan of care?

1) Mrs. anderson appeared at the clinic complaining of extreme nervousness and sweating, saying that she could feel and hear her heart thumping when she tried to sleep at night. She was found to have a severely elevated and fluctuating blood pressure. Although laboratory testing revealed hyperglycemia and increased basal metabolic rate, tests of thyroid function were normal. What is your diagnosis? What treatment should be used?

2) Mr. Barnes makes an appointment to see his doctor for pain in his abdominal area. Tests and X rays reveal kidney stones as well as bones with a moth-eaten appearance. Physical exam reveals hyporeflexia and hypotonis (weakness). What is the problem and what treatment would be recommended?

3) It was often rumored that one of our deceased presidents was suffering from Addison's disease (inadequate synthesis of mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids). What symptoms may have led to the diagnosis of this condition?

4) Following workup for symptoms of decreased libido and erectile dysfunction, a patient is told that his pituitary is hypersecreting prolactin. Is there need for concern about this young man?

5) The parents of a 17-year-old boy are concerned about his height because he is only 5 feet tall and they are both close to 6 feet tall. After tests by their doctor, a certain hormone is prescribed for the boy. What is the probable diagnosis, and what hormone was prescribed? Why might the child still expect to reach his growth potential?

6) Jon is a 26-year-old man who begins to notice a progressive enlargement of feet, hands, cranium, nose, and lower jaw bone. His doctor recommends a pituitary gland operation. What is the most likely diagnosis? Why?

7) Explain how anti-diuretic hormone can help regulate an abnormal increase in solute concentration in the extracellular fluid.

8) What is the most important nursing intervention when caring for a patient with Cushing's syndrome?

9) A 25-year-old male was admitted to the medical/surgical unit with a blood glucose of 600 mg/dl. On assessment, the nurse observed his breathing was deep and rapid, and his breath smelled of acetone. His face was flushed and his skin was dry. His pH was low. Describe the physiological response that is occurring.

10) Anthony is a diabetic. While at work, he began to tremble, was somewhat disoriented, and showed signs similar to that of a drunk. One of his colleagues gave him some hard candy, which seemed to help him return to normal functions. Why? Was this a proper action, considering that Thomas is diabetic?

You are expected to prepare a human pedigree detailing the inheritance of a single
genetic disease or disorder.
The pedigree will be created from the following information:
● There are five generations.
● In generation 1, there are two families.
o family one, the male is affected; this family should be listed on the
left.
o family 2 the female is affected.
● In generation 2 there are 12 individuals. Information on this generation:
o family 1 had 7 children, family 2 had four.
o family 1 first three children were girls, the remainder boys
o family 2 had a girl, two boys, and another girl.
o the eldest female of family 1 was married.
▪ She went on to have one daughter, and then one male,
affected
o the youngest male of family 1 and the eldest female of family 2
were married. This youngest male was affected.
▪ They went on to have five children. One girl, two boys, and
two more girls. The eldest boy, and two youngest girls were
all affected.
▪ The eldest daughter went on to have a boy and a girl.
o the youngest daughter of family 1, and both males of family 2, were
affected.
● In generation 3 there are at least 9 members.
o The youngest girl of the merged family had two sons. The first died
at birth and it is unknown if he was affected. The second was
affected
o The second oldest daughter of the merged family had one affected
male. She was not married.
o A daughter was born, who was a descendant of family 1 only,
whose mother was unaffected
▪ Her father was affected.
▪ She also has an adopted brother
▪ She went on to have twin daughters
▪ She was not married
● In generation 4 there are 7 members.
o Four of five males were affected
● In generation 5 there are 2 members.
● Generation one is dead.
● Non-married partners are not included in the pedigree.
● Unless specified assume all individuals have married parents.
● Unless specified, assume all spouses are unaffected
You will provide all genotypes for the second generation and ensure all known affected
individuals are marked.

After depicting the disease on the pedigree, you should include determine its dominant
or recessive inheritance pattern, and its autosomal or sex-linked position in the human
genome. Then, you will research a condition that matches this pattern and describe it in
full. Also, you should include a brief description of the manifestations and clinical
outcomes of the disease. The written portion of the assignment should be completed in
Microsoft Word.

In programming C language, write a program that creates a binary tree of words to be used as a spell
checking device for various text files. The list of words will come from a file “words.txt”.
Your program is to read through the “words.txt” file and insert the word on that line into the tree
in lexicographic order (also known as Dictionary order). Words in the file will be separated by
spaces. Once this is done, your program should then prompt the user to enter a text file and
then scan through each word in the file to check spelling.
Your program must be able to insert words into and delete words from the tree. It must also be
able to search the tree for a given string (this is how the spell check is done), and print the tree
in pre order, in order, and post order.

The functions that do this should look as follows:

● void insert(root, s): node x char* -> none
○ inserts a node whose data is s into the tree with root node root
● void delete(root, s): node x char* -> none
○ deletes a node whose data is s from the tree with root node root
● void print_preorder(root): node -> none
○ prints the tree with root node root in pre-order format
● void print_inorder(root): node -> none
○ prints the tree with root node root in in-order format
● void print_postorder(root): node -> none
○ prints the tree with root node root in post-order format
● node search(root, s): node x char* -> node
○ searches a tree with root node root for a node whose data is s, if it is found then
that node is returned, otherwise a NULL node is returned

For the spell-checking portion of the program, there should be a function spellcheck which takes
as arguments a root node for your tree, and a string for a filename. Spellcheck should scan the
file at that location word by word and check if that word is in the tree, ignoring capitalization and
punctuation (apostrophes are not considered to be punctuation). If the word is not found then a
message should be printed to the console indicating that word is not found / misspelled. The
message should indicate the word’s position in the file.

● void spellcheck(root, filename): node x char* -> none
○ Scans a text file (filename) word by word, prints a message to the console if a
word is not found in the tree of correct words.

Sample Input/Output
words.txt: “all work and no play makes a dull boy”
myInput.txt: “All work and no play maks Jack a dull boy.”
Output:
“Word “maks” on line 1, word 6 mispelled or not found in dictionary.”
“Word “Jack” on line 1, word 7 mispelled or not found in dictionary.”

In a cross with sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus, which is related to the garden pea Pisum sativum, which Mendel studied), William Bateson (1913, Mendel’s Principles of Heredity. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, p. 154) provided data for the F2 progeny from a dihybrid experiment for axil color and male fertility. (An axil is where a leaf is connected to the stem.) The gene for male sterility in this case is nuclear, not cytoplasmic. One parent had dark axils and was male fertile, and the other parent had light axils and was male sterile. The F2 progeny phenotypes were as follows:

Dark axils, male fertile 627

Light axils, male sterile 214

Dark axils, male sterile 27

Light axils, male fertile 17

Test the hypothesis that axil color and male fertility assort independently. What is your conclusion?

1. Reject
2. Do not reject
