Mrs. Bean is a 60-year-old woman who recently spent 5 days in the hospital for pneumonia, where she received intravenous antibiotics and respiratory therapy. She was discharged 1 week ago and has been at home with her husband, who assists in her care. She has arthritis and typically is not very physically active. Mrs. Bean returned to her primary care provider for a checkup and complained of increasing difficulty breathing, headache, and coughing up yellowish- colored sputum. Can you help me to say What do you think the cues mean? (What do the signs and symptoms tell you)

An 86-year-old woman with a history of diabetes and hypertension presents to the emergency room with a complaint of chest pain x 4 hours. And I noticed intense nausea with two bouts of vomiting, too. She is now free of chest pain. Her blood pressure is 130/70, heart rate 50, breathing 20, and oxygen saturation 95% in room air. A physical examination reveals normal breathing sounds. 1- What is the medical diagnosis? 2- What is the specific investigation in order of priority? 3 What is the link between a patient's history and diagnosis? 4- Nursing care for this patient.
Case 1 A 20-year-old man presents for evaluation of a rash that he thinks is an allergic reaction. For the past 4 or 5 days, he has had the "flu," with fever, chills headache, and body aches. He has been taking an over-the-counter flu medication without any symptomatic relief. Yesterday he developed a diffuse rash made up of red, slightly raised bumps. It covers his whole body, and he says that it must be an allergic reaction to the flu medication. He has no history of allergies and takes no other medications, and his only medical problem in the past was being treated for gonorrhoea approximately 2 years ago. On further questioning, he denies dysuria or penile discharge. He denies any genital lesions now but says that he had a "sore" on his penis a few months ago that never really hurt and went away on its own after a few weeks so he didn't think much about it. On exam, his vital signs are all normal. He has palpable cervical, axillary, and inguinal adenopathy. His skin has an…
What are the salient features of the case? A 52-year-old female presented to the emergency department (ED) resuscitation unit with a 5-day history of progressive shortness of breath and productive cough of green sputum. She described some brief episodes of hot and cold spells but had no documented fever or rigors. She was too tachypnoeic to further offer any history. Vitals on presentation were as follows: pulse oximeter reading of 78% on room air, heart rate (HR) of 110 bpm, blood pressure of 85/60 mmHg, respiratory rate of 37 breaths per minute, and temperature of 35.4°C.

Bone marrow biopsy showed a markedly hypocellular marrow with very few hematopoietic cells and…
case study: C was a six year old boy who passed away at the Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital on14 January 2017. He was a generally healthy and happy child. C’s treating team at the Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital attributed his death to overwhelming sepsis due to melioidosis. His death was not discussed with the coroner at that time. No autopsy was performed. C’s death was first reported to the State Coroner on 3 May 2018 due to the family’s concerns about the care C received from a remote hospital over several days leading up to his admission on 10 January 2017 and subsequent transfer to a regional hospital by which time he was seriously ill. The family also lodged a complaint with the Office of the Health Ombudsman. The Health Ombudsman considered the family’scomplaint potentially identified broader systemic issues and undertook a systemicinvestigation. The family’s concerns related to failure by remote hospital staff to correctly diagnoseand investigate the cause of C’s worsening…

A 5-month-old girl is brought to the emer- gency department by her parents because she is “turning blue." She is cyanotic, weak, and dyspneic. Her parents state that she has expe- rienced similar episodes in the past, but never this severe. Physical examination reveals the lungs are clear to auscultation, with no wheez- ing, rales, or rhonchi. Cardiac examination reveals a regular rate and rhythm, normal S1, single S2, a grade III rough systolic murmur at the left sternal border in the third intercos- tal space, and a palpable right ventricular lift. Echocardiography demonstrates unusual posi- tioning of the aorta, which overrides both the left and right ventricles in the long axis view. In this condition, the primary developmental defect occurs in which portion of the primitive heart? (A) Bulbus cordis (B) Conal septum (C) Left and right horns of the sinus venosus (D) Primitive atria (E) Primitive ventricle
