Ms. A. is an apparently healthy 26-year-old white woman. Since the beginning of the current golf season, Ms. A has noted increased shortness of breath and low levels of energy and enthusiasm. These symptoms seem worse during her menses. Today, while playing in a golf tournament at a high, mountainous course, she became light-headed and was taken by her golfing partner to the emergency clinic. The attending physician’s notes indicated a temperature of 98 degrees F, an elevated heart rate and respiratory rate, and low blood pressure. Ms. A states, “Menorrhagia and dysmenorrheal have been a problem for 10-12 years, and I take 1,000 mg of aspirin every 3 to 4 hours for 6 days during menstruation.” During the summer months, while playing golf, she also takes aspirin to avoid “stiffness in my joints.”

Laboratory values are as follows:

Hemoglobin = 8 g/dl

Hematocrit = 32%

Erythrocyte count = 3.1 x 10/mm

RBC smear showed microcytic and hypochromic cells

Reticulocyte count = 1.5%

Other laboratory values were within normal limits.

Question

Considering the circumstances and the preliminary workup, what type of anemia does Ms. A most likely have? In an essay of 500-750 words, explain your answer and include rationale.

Mackenzie Ann is a 12 year old scheduled for discharge from the Emergency Department after a gymnastics incident resulted in a fractured right ulna and radius. Her arm has been casted, is immobilized and in a sling. Mackenzie states, “My arm feels better now, and I am sleepy. The pain medicine makes me feel like I will vomit.” The RN is reviewing medications with Mackenzie and her mother when the mother states, “We have a two (2) hour drive home from this emergency room. Can you give Mackenzie something for nausea so she does not throw up in the car?” The RN has already completed the discharge paperwork, and the orthopedic physician who casted the arm has left the Emergency Department. The RN states, “No orders are available for Mackenzie to have nausea medicine. I can give her another dose of pain medicine if you think that will help her sleep on the way home. Then she might not vomit.”

endocrine and neural drug treatment.

This case will focus specifically on endocrine and neural drug treatment.

Prompt: Consider the following scenario: Bill, age 70, came to the examination accompanied by his wife. Bill was tall and cheerful, greeted the doctor warmly, and then started walking around the room a bit until he realized he was supposed to sit down.

As the physician asked Bill questions for the history, he answered some, and smiled at all of the questions. Bill’s wife, Cecilia, filled in the answers that Bill was not sure of. Both Bill and Cecilia seemed to be used to her supportive role in helping Bill remember things.

Bill had retired as an accountant two years earlier. In the period since retirement, Bill had reached the point that he could not balance his checkbook. Cecilia handled that task, as well as handling money and change while shopping. This change in Bill’s use of numbers was so sudden, she said, that she wondered if something could be done to help Bill.

Bill smiled at both Cecilia and the doctor, and shrugged his shoulders.

After doing a thorough physical exam, a psychometric evaluation, and a cranial MRI, the final diagnosis was Alzheimer’s disease.

The doctor ordered some medications specifically for this disease. An anticholinergic was prescribed to cure the disease. The physician also ordered vitamins B1, B6, B12, and E. Nutritional support, physical exercises, cognitive activities, safety precautions, and other suggestions were recommended.

In a short paper, the following critical elements must be addressed:

● Identify the incorrect medication/drug classification/treatment and explain why it is incorrect.

● What drug classification would you use instead? Why?

● Provide an example of a generic medication from each drug classification. How would each of the medications/treatments in the scenario act on the patient’s body?
