Rivka is an active 21-year-old who decided to take a day off from her university classes. The weather was hot and the sun bright
, so she decided to go down to the beach. When she arrived, she found a few people playing beach volleyball, and they asked if she wanted to join in. She put down her school bag and began to play. The others were well prepared for their day out and stopped throughout the game to have their power drinks and soda pop. Several hours after they began to play, however, Rivka was not feeling so good. She stopped sweating and was feeling dizzy. One player noted she had not taken a washroom break at all during the day. They found a shaded area for her, and one of the players shared his power drink with her. Rivka was thirstier than she realized and quickly finished the drink.In pronounced dehydration, hypotension can occur. How would this affect the glomerular filtration rate of the kidney? What actions by the juxtaglomerular apparatus would occur to restore GFR?What is the effect aldosterone has on the distal convoluted tubule? Why would the actions of aldosterone be useful to Rivka in her situation?What does a specific gravity test measure? If someone tested the specific gravity of Rivka’s urine, what might it indicate?
Genetic testing is a type of medical test that checks for changed in chromosomes, genes, or proteins. I think genetic testing is a great idea because it can tell you if you're sick in anyway or not!
If there are no answer choices, then here is what I believe needs to be done:
Firstly, clean up the patient and dress them in clean garments as to decontaminate them. Secondly, the nurse has to look at their chart. Is the patient allergic to anything in the medicine? If there are no allergies known, then they can either A. Call the doctor to explain the situation and ask what needs to be done, or B. Look on the side affects of the medication. If it reads that in case of vomiting, stop medication immediately, then he/she can assume that the patient's body is not coping well to the medicine. At that point, with qualified expertise, can switch out for a different medicine that aids the client's condition. Hope this helps. <3
A friend from high school that I barely ever talked to began posting very depressing statuses on her social media which she ended up making a post that could have easily been interpreted as a "goodbye" type post. I tried to get in contact with her but she never responded, so I decided to call the police in her area with the little information I had which was basically her phone number and name, and the police were able to get to them in time. About a year later around the same time of the year that this had happened, I got a very emotional message from her thanking me for what I did.
