Module 07 CNS Mini Case Studies

Case Study: A

You’re
talking to your mother on the phone and the both of you are discussing the
upcoming surprise party for your daughter and you ask her what she thinks about
hiring a clown for the party. Your
mother replies with a comment that has nothing to do with the party or really
even makes sense. You notice that she
had a slight slurring of her words too.
You get a bit panicky and ask her if she’s all right. You hear your mother mumble something and
again you ask if she is all right. After
a moment, she states that she is fine and just got a little dizzy and now has a
headache. Your mother then asks what was
her question again.

At the
end of the conversation, you ask your mom if she has been feeling good lately,
to which she states that she has been noticing she has been feeling off and odd
occasionally for a few seconds or so.

What is your diagnosis including reasoning
for your diagnosis, causes to this condition and concerns you would have?

Samuel Dexter is a 52-year-old
African-American man who is both a husband and father. He is moderately obese
(BMI of 32), and has smoked one pack of cigarettes a day for the past 38 years.
As he was getting ready for work one morning, while brushing this teeth, he all
of sudden got weakness on his right side and dropped his toothbrush. Samuel is a bit confused and worried after
dropping his toothbrush and looks into the mirror and sees a blurry image of
his self. Samuel tries to call for his
wife but cannot articulate the words and his speech is slurred. When he attempts to walk out of the bathroom,
he stumbles a few times and falls once.

His wife, Margaret, hears Samuel fall and
yells to him if he is alright; when she doesn’t hear him respond, she rushes to
him and notices his right side of his face seems if it is fallen, especially
his eye and lips. Margaret rushes to the phone and calls 911. Emergency
personnel arrive within minutes of her call and transport Samuel to the
emergency room (ER) of the nearest hospital.

At the hospital, the ER staff performs a
number of tests; predict the results of these tests on Part 02 Procedure of
Module 07 Lab Worksheet and answer the questions relating to this case.

Case Study: C

Jim has an upcoming arthroscopic knee
surgery to repair some damaged cartilage.
Jim’s doctor informs him that he would not be completely put under (general
anesthesia) but rather have an epidural.
Jim panics a bit and thinks back to about 5 years ago when he had
meningitis and had a procedure where they punctured his low back with a huge
needle that hurt severely.

Jim
is now contemplating whether if he should go through the knee surgery or not
because he doesn’t want to go through that same procedure. Should Jim be worried? Why or why not?
