John is a 19-year-old college football player who presents with sneezing, itchy eyes, and nasal congestion that worsens at night. He states that he has a history of asthma, eczema and allergies

to pollen. There is also one other person on the football team that has similar symptoms. His vitals are BP 110/70, P 84, R 18, T 100 F. Write a differential of at least five (5) possible items from the most likely to less likely. For each disease include information about the epidemiology, pathophysiology and briefly argue why this disease fits the presentation and why it might not fit the presentation

Week 1: Altered Immune System and Altered Inflammatory Response – Discussion

Part Two

A patient has been admitted into the emergency room that was in the passenger side of a car that collided with another car head on. The patient is pale, barely conscious and has a weak and thready pulse. An IV is started. The vitals are BP 80/50, P 140, T 96.0 and R 26. As the team fights to keep the patient alive they have to remove the spleen. Blood is given but it has been mistyped. A transfusion reaction occurs. Describe the type of hypersensitivity reaction that has occurred and discuss the molecular pathophysiology of the specific type of hypersensitive reaction you have chosen.

In the event that this patient survived the car accident and the transfusion reaction which organs are most likely to be damaged and why?

A 44-year-old patient presents with lump in the chest of approximately 2 cm in diameter. There is a slight dimple over the location of the lump and when the lump is manipulated it seems to be attached to the surrounding tissue. A lumpectomy is performed and the mass is sent to pathology. The pathology report comes back and the mass is confirmed to be an estrogen receptor negative, a progesterone receptor negative and a her2/neu receptor positive breast cancer.

What are some of the risk factors for breast cancer?

What tumor suppressor genes are associated with breast cancer?

What tumor oncogenes are associated with breast cancer?

A five-month-old Caucasian female is brought into the clinic as the parent complain that she has been having ongoing foul-smelling , greasy diarrhea. She seems to be small for her age and a

bit sickly but, her parent’s state that she has a huge appetite. Upon examination you find that

the patient is wheezing and you observe her coughing.

Tammy is a 33-year-old who presents for evaluation of a cough. She reports that about 3 weeks ago she developed a “really bad cold” with rhinorrhea. The cold seemed to go away but then she developed a profound, deep, mucus-producing cough. Now, there is no rhinorrhea or rhinitis—the primary problem is the cough. She develops these coughing fits that are prolonged, very deep, and productive of a lot of green sputum. She hasn’t had any fever but does have a scratchy throat. Tammy has tried over-the-counter cough medicines but has not had much relief. The cough keeps her awake at night and sometimes gets so bad that she gags and dry heaves.

Write a differential of at least five (5) possible diagnosis’s and explain how each may be a possible answer to the clinical presentation above.

Remember, to list the differential in the order of most likely to less likely.

Based upon what you have at the top of the differential how would you treat this patient?

Suppose now, the patient has a fever of 100.4 and complains of foul smelling mucous and breath. Indeed, she complains of producing cups of mucous some days. She has some trouble breathing on moderate exertion but this is only a minor complaint to her. How does this change your differential and why?

A nursing student comes into your office because they are struggling with the concept of pulmonary function. They know you as an experienced FNP and so they are comfortable asking if you could clarify the terms residual volume (RV), functional reserve capacity (FRC), total lung capacity (TLC) inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), and expiratory reserve volume (ERV).

Give her a definition of each?

List three (3) disorders that can alter the residual volume and explain how they do so?

A 17-year-old African American from the inner city complains of severe chest and abdominal pain. Upon examination the attending physician performs and EKG, chest x-ray, and an abdominal and chest clinical examination and finds nothing. Assuming, she is drug seeking he sends her home. She comes back to the ER 4 hours later and now you see the patient. She explains that she was running track this past afternoon at school and that despite being very hot (100 F) she pushed on. Afterwards, she starts feeling extensive pain in her chest and abdomen. She has jaundiced eyes, her blood pressure is 98/50, pulse is 112, T = 99.9 F, R = 28. The pain seems out of proportion to the physical findings.

What is your list of differential diagnoses in this case and explain how each of these fits with the case patient as described above. Be sure to list at least four (4) pertinent differential diagnoses. Indicate which of these you would select as the most likely diagnosis and explain why.

Now, as she is in the ER she begins to exhibit stroke like features. ? Does this change your differential? How do you treat this patient now? Are they any preventative actions that could have been taken?

Jesse is a 57-year-old male who presents with gradual onset of dyspnea on exertion and fatigue. He also complains of frequent dyspepsia with nausea and occasional epigastric pain. He states that at night he has trouble breathing especially while lying on his back. This is relieved by him sitting up. His vitals are 180/110, P = 88, T = 98.0 C, R = 20.

Write a differential in this case and explain how each item in your differential fits and how it might not fit.

What tests would you order? What immediate treatment would you consider giving this patient and what treatment when he went home? Assume your first differential is definitive.

Now, he comes back to your clinic 3 months later and both his ankles are slightly swollen. What possible explanations are there for this observation?

A new patient is brought into the office for their annual
evaluation. The child is a 6-year-old and appears a bit small for their
age but not so small that any alarm bells are set off. The vitals are: P = 116, R = 22, T = 98.6 F, BP = 110/50. (The normal vitals in a 6-year-old are P = 75 – 120, R = 16 – 22, T = 98.6 , BP = (85-115)/(48-64). Examination
of the lungs is normal, HEENT is normal, as is the abdominal exam. The
heart however, seems laterally displaced and there appears to be only a
continuous murmur which can be described as crescendo/decrescendo
systolic murmur that extends into diastole. Because, you were trained at
Chamberlain College of Nursing you immediately know that this is
probably a patent ductus arteriosus

    You
    are contacted by an attorney representing a client who has been charged
    with child abuse and whom faces loss of her child and 15 years in
    prison. The record indicated that the child was 4 years old and
    presented to the ER room with a broken arm and a broken leg. There also
    appeared to be multiple previous fractures. Now, you examine the child
    and find blue sclera, a sunken chest wall, severe scoliosis, and you
    observe a triangular face and prominent forehead. You confirm that there
    have been multiple previous fractures by evaluating the previous
    X-rays. This is a genetic disorder.

    • What is the most likely genetic disease that this presents and why?
    • What is the molecular basis of this disease?
    • Before, calling the police what should the initial clinician have done?

    Johnny
    is a 5-year-old Asian boy who is brought to a family practice office
    with a “runny” nose that started about 1 week ago but has not resolved. He has been blowing his nose quite frequently and “sores” have developed around his nose. His
    mother states, “The sores started as ‘big blisters’ that rupture;
    sometimes, a scab forms with a crust that looks like “dried maple syrup”
    but continues to seep and drain.” She is worried because the lesions are now also on his forearm. Johnny’s past medical and family histories are normal. He has been febrile but is otherwise asymptomatic. The
    physical examination was unremarkable except for moderate, purulent
    rhinorrhea and 0.5- to 1-cm diameter weeping lesions around the nose and
    mouth and on the radial surface of the right forearm. There is no regional lymphadenopathy.

    • Write
      a differential of at least three (3) possible diagnoses and explain how

      Remember, to list the differential in the order of most likely to less
      likely.
    • Based upon what you have at the top of the differentials how would you treat this patient?
    • When would you allow the student back to school? Elaborate on your reasoning?
