\nConsider the following scenarios:
\nScenario 1:
\nJennifer is a 2-year-old female who presents with her mother. Mom is concerned because Jennifer has<\/p>\n
been \u201crunning a temperature\u201d for the last 3 days. Mom says that Jennifer is usually healthy and has no<\/p>\n
significant medical history. She was in her usual state of good health until 3 days ago when she<\/p>\n
started to get fussy, would not eat her breakfast, and would not sit still for her favorite television<\/p>\n
cartoon. Since then she has had a fever off and on, anywhere between 101oF and today\u2019s high of 103.2oF.<\/p>\n
Mom has been giving her ibuprofen, but when the fever went up to 103.2oF today, she felt that she<\/p>\n
should come in for Assessment. A physical examination reveals a height and weight appropriate<\/p>\n
2-year-old female who appears acutely unwell. Her skin is hot and dry. The tympanic membranes are<\/p>\n
slightly reddened on the periphery, but otherwise normal in appearance. The throat is erythematous with<\/p>\n
4+ tonsils and diffuse exudates. Anterior cervical nodes are readily palpable and clearly tender to<\/p>\n
touch on the left side. The child indicates that her throat hurts \u201ca lot\u201d and it is painful to swallow.<\/p>\n
Vital signs reveal a temperature of 102.8oF, a pulse of 128 beats per minute, and a respiratory rate of<\/p>\n
24 beats per minute.
\nScenario 2:
\nJack is a 27-year-old male who presents with redness and irritation of his hands. He reports that he<\/p>\n
has never had a problem like this before, but about 2 weeks ago he noticed that both his hands seemed<\/p>\n
to be really red and flaky. He denies any discomfort, stating that sometimes they feel \u201ca little bit<\/p>\n
hot,\u201d but otherwise they feel fine. He does not understand why they are so red. His wife told him that<\/p>\n
he might have an allergy and he should get some steroid cream. Jack has no known allergies and no<\/p>\n
significant medical history except for recurrent ear infections as a child. He denies any traumatic<\/p>\n
injury or known exposure to irritants. He is a maintenance engineer in a newspaper building and admits<\/p>\n
that he often works with abrasive solvents and chemicals. Normally he wears protective gloves, but<\/p>\n
lately they seem to be in short supply so sometimes he does not use them. He has exposed his hands to<\/p>\n
some of these cleaning fluids, but says that it never hurt and he always washed his hands when he was<\/p>\n
finished.
\nScenario 3:
\nMartha is a 65-year-old woman who recently retired from her job as an administrative Helpant at a<\/p>\n
local hospital. Her medical history is significant for hypertension, which has been controlled for<\/p>\n
years with hydrochlorothiazide. She reports that lately she is having a lot of trouble sleeping, she<\/p>\n
occasionally feels like she has a \u201cracing heartbeat,\u201d and she is losing her appetite. She emphasizes<\/p>\n
that she is not hungry like she used to be. The only significant change that has occurred lately in her<\/p>\n
life is that her 87-year-old mother moved into her home a few years ago. Mom had always been healthy,<\/p>\n
but she fell down a flight of stairs and broke her hip. Her recovery was a difficult one, as she has<\/p>\n
lost a lot of mobility and independence and needs to rely on her daughter for Helpance with<\/p>\n
activities of daily living. Martha says it is not the retirement she dreamed about, but she is an only<\/p>\n
child and is happy to care for her mother. Mom wakes up early in the morning, likes to bathe every day,<\/p>\n
and has always eaten 5 small meals daily. Martha has to put a lot of time into caring for her mother,<\/p>\n
so it is almost a \u201cblessing\u201d that Martha is sleeping and eating less. She is worried about her own<\/p>\n
health though and wants to know why, at her age, she suddenly needs less sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
