The question is incomplete. The information asked in the question is as follows:
What is your presumptive diagnosis for this case?
Caused by which organism?
What evidence could the sputum give for this case?
Is the increased respiration rate and unequal chest movement indicative of the pathology?
Is this a bacterial or viral disease?
Answer:
Alzheimer disease may be defined as a type of the progressive disorder that mainly destroys the memorizing capacity of the individual. The disease gets worsen with the age.
After studying the case disease given in the question it can be inferred that the individual might have pneumonia caused by the bacteria Klebsiella. This causes the damage to the lungs. The sputum shows that the bacteria is gram negative that are covered with the rods. If the bacteria is grown on the agar plate of the MacConkey, the bacteria becomes mucoid due to the production of the slime. This might cause the lung damage and causes inflammation that causes the observable changes. This is a bacterial disease.
<span>The correct answer is d. increase the rate of breathing.</span>
<span>
Peripheral chemoreceptors (the carotid and aortic bodies) can sense hypercapnia (high CO2) and then they send a signal to the breathing centre. Breathing centre is in medulla oblongata which regulates breathing movements. When CO2 reaches a certain level, a signal is sent to trigger an inhalation and the rate of breathing is increased.</span>
Answer E: all of the above
