Study Notes
Blood Pressure and Classification
- A 65-year-old male has elevated blood pressures (142-148/80-88) over three visits.
- Not diabetic and no renal disease; classified as "At goal" according to JNC.
PCOS and Preeclampsia Risks
- Anovulation from PCOS increases the risk of endometrial cancer.
Management of Preeclampsia
- For a 30-year-old female with evidence of preeclampsia, the best management involves close monitoring of urinary protein and serum creatinine.
Common Psychiatric Conditions
- Substance-related disorders are the most prevalent psychiatric conditions seen in emergency rooms.
Acute Stress Disorder and PTSD
- Symptoms of PTSD may recur during periods of significant stress or development linked to the initial trauma.
Intussusception Associations
- Irritable bowel syndrome is not typically associated with intussusception.
Myasthenia Gravis Management
- Important to determine the medications taken by clients with myasthenia gravis and the last dosage timing as an initial step.
Hirschsprung Disease Diagnosis
- An infant who fails to pass meconium, with distended abdomen and no stool in the rectal vault, likely has Hirschsprung disease.
Childhood Psychiatric Disorder Statistics
- Major depression shows increasing prevalence with age in children.
Medications and Hypoglycemia
- Atenolol can contribute to hypoglycemic symptoms in patients with diabetes, as exemplified by a 63-year-old male with insulin-dependent diabetes presenting with low blood sugar.
Meningitis Symptoms
- An 18-year-old female with fever, headache, and positive Brudzinski and Kernig's signs likely has meningitis.
Lung Cancer Diagnosis
- A right upper lobe mass in a 65-year-old male with a smoking history requires a tissue biopsy for diagnosis confirmation.
Iron-Deficiency Anemia Profile
- A 58-year-old male with colon cancer and melena exhibits low erythrocyte MCV, low serum iron, high TIBC, and low ferritin on iron profile tests.
Temporal Arteritis Testing
- An erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) test should be ordered for suspected temporal arteritis.
Headache Red Flags
- Symptoms that are considered "red flags" for headaches include development after strenuous activity, presence of papilledema, and awakening from sleep.
Treatment of Diarrhea in Adolescents
- Oral rehydration therapy is an effective treatment for a 12-year-old girl with diarrhea due to suspected bacterial infection.
Giardia Infection in Pediatric Patients
- An 8-year-old male presenting with diarrhea is likely suffering from Giardia intestinalis infection, indicated by explosive watery stools and recent weight loss.
