The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:
- Spotty or blurred vision
-
tremors
-
decrease in appetite
-
Loss of sensation in his peripheral regions
Answer:
Spotty or blurred vision
Explanation:
The occipital lobe is the smallest lobe of all the four lobes present in the brain. The occipital lobe is present in the cerebrum or back side of the brain and is involved in the vision as the image is formed in this lobe.
In the given question when the person falls and his occipital lobe swells then this will affect the primary function of the lobe that is vision. So when the doctor says come back if changes happen then he is referring to the vision problem.
Thus, Spotty or blurred vision
Answer:
The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
The normal value range of pH is 7,35-7,45.
If the pH es <u>higher than 7,45</u> we say it is alkalosis and if the pH es <u>lower than 7,35</u> we say it is acidosis. That being said, we can now rule out option B and C.
Then we have to define <u>respiratory acidosis:</u> it is a decrease of pH because of a high value of PaCO2 (in this case as a result of hypoventilation). The normal range of PaCO2 is 35-45 mmHg.
So if we take all this in consideration, the only option with a low pH and a high paCO2 is option D.
Answer: I believe it’s B
Explanation:
because ever other answer is stupid
That statement is false
Bronfenbrenner believed that the children would be influenced by all the things that exist in the children's environment. Intermediate family and school only small parts of the environment. T
hings such as the television shows that the children watch, the children's interaction with friends, the place where the children play, etc also heavily influenced children's development,.
Based on the symptoms,
Differential diagnoses for the boy includes:
- Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) owing to his recent visit to Florida
- Meningitis
Course of treatment:
- The patient needs to be admitted
- Diagnostic tests including CBC, cultures of both blood and CSF to rule out meningitis should be done
Explanation:
Initial line of treatment with loading dose of doxycycline at 2.2 mg/kg and ceftriaxone at 100 mg/kg/day can be started.
RMSF is a contagious disease caused by ticks and is predominant in the southeastern regions of the United States like North Carolina. So the boy could have got the disease from his visit to N. Carolina. Doxycycline is a broad spectrum antibiotic is the most preferred treatment of choice for RMSF
Meningitis is a bacterial disease affecting the brain. Ceftriaxone is the treatment of choice for empirical treatment of meningitis.
Since the boy’s symptoms like fever, headache, petechial rashes etc are symptomatic of both RMSF and meningitis, both the antibiotics should be administered initially.
Then depending upon the culture results, other specific antibiotics and treatments can be started.
