Paul Wheat (PW) is a 23 y/o male who suffered a hit-and-run auto-pedestrian accident and sustained multiple abrasions, a concussion, and a deep laceration of his left thigh. He was discovered approximately 2 hours after the incident and is now in the emergency room [ER]. Paul’s initial diagnostic workup, vital signs and lab work reveal a 2500 mL blood loss. A urinary catheter is inserted to monitor urine output. Currently, Paul’s urine output is 15 mL/hr and is clear but dark amber in color. Identify 3 other clinical problems (adverse outcomes) that may develop if PW’s renal function does not return to normal but continues to deteriorate?

Pathophysiology Ron Strauss has smoked for many years and has developed chronic bronchitis. He also has a history of pulmonary hypertension and secondary polycythemia vera. His arterial blood gas (ABG) reveals respiratory acidosis with a PaO2, at 50 mm Hg and a PaCO2, at 60 mm Hg; At this clinic visit, it is noted on his chest x-ray, RS has an enlarged heart and diaphragm flattening. Why has RS developed secondary polycythemia vera?

He gave a 24-hour history of dysuria and noted some “pus-like” drainage in his underwear and on the tip of his penis.

He gave a history of being sexually active with five or six partners in the past 6 months. He claimed that he and his partners had not had any sexually transmitted diseases. His physical exam was significant for a yellow urethral discharge and tenderness at the tip of the penis. (A Gram stain done in the emergency room is shown in Fig. 1).

She also states that she is currently on diuretics and has a history of type I DM, HTN, and stage 3 chronic kidney disease. According to her caregiver and family, she has had difficulty breathing on minimal exertion and constantly appears "winded" even at rest. She reports that she is currently unable to ambulate and has been feeling lethargic for three days. According to her family, since her discharge from the hospital one month ago her respiratory status has not returned to normal. She also reports having a history of muscle cramping in her lower leg, but currently there is none present. She has been using 2L of oxygen via nasal cannula and just a few days ago her Lasix dose was doubled to help manage her CHF symptoms. She reports her quality of life has significantly declined in the last month and she…
