Chapter 1, Problem 2MITC
Patty is a mother to 14-year-old twins and works full time. Between her own job, driving her kids to practices and events, and spending time with her husband. Patty is constantly on the go. This past weekend was no exception. On Friday night, her office group went out for happy hour to celebrate a colleague’s promotion. They had a great time—eating sushi, drinking wine, and relaxing Saturday morning, her daughter’s soccer team had a brunch, and in the afternoon her Son’s Little League team had an end-of-the-season barbecue. Saturday night she felt a little bit bloated but thought it was from the all the food she had eaten at the brunch—she was so full from the brunch that she had eaten only fruit salad at the barbecue.
Late Sunday afternoon, Patty and her husband returned home from his sister’s birthday party. As they began to prepare dinner, Patty started to have a stomachache and felt a bit nauseated. She suspected it was from eating too much birthday cake; however, when she woke up in the middle of the night with diarrhea, she thought it might be something more than the cake. Monday morning Patty was unable to go to work—she had a terrible headache, and the diarrhea had lasted all night long. When she starts vomiting early Monday afternoon, she decides that she needs to go to the doctor.
What else could be causing Patty’s symptoms?

Twenty-six-year-old Wei isn’t feeling well. Wei uses he/him/his pronouns. He is more tired than usual, dragging through his workdays despite going to bed earlier and napping on the weekends. He doesn't have much of an appetite and has started losing weight. When he presses on the side of his neck he notices an unusual lump.
Wei goes to his doctor, who performs a physical exam and determines that the lump is a swollen lymph node. Lymph nodes are part of the immune system, and they will often become enlarged when the body is fighting off an infection. Dr. Bouazizi thinks that the swollen lymph node and fatigue could be signs of a viral or bacterial infection, or indicate a type of cancer called lymphoma. However, an infection is a more likely cause, particularly in a young person like Wei. Dr. Bouazizi prescribes an antibiotic in case Wei has a bacterial infection and advises him to return in a few weeks if his lymph node does not shrink or if he is not feeling better.
Wei returns a few…

- Sarah, age 68, was recently widowed after 40 years of marriage. She reports that since her husband died, she has started to smoke again. She also reports difficulty sleeping, more pain from her rheumatoid arthritis, and episodes of shortness of breath. She begins to cry when asked about her usual daily activities and hobbies. She has stopped taking her blood pressure medication over the last month and avoids discussing her financial status. What risk factors are present that may predispose her to an altered health status?arrow_forwardSusan is a very slight 60year old woman of Japanese heritage with Down syndrome. She is post-menopausal and never has been very active as she uses a power wheelchair because of her foot problems which include bunions, uncut toe nails and uneven foot pads. She does not enjoy eating and it is always a struggle to get her to eat. Although she can feed herself, she will rarely finish a meal unless encouraged. Her favorite position to eat is lying on her bed watching television. After several bone fractures that resulted when she was transferred from a chair to bed, a bone-density test was done. It was discovered that she had significant bone loss in her hips and was given a diagnosis of osteoporosis. Her physician prescribed Tums™ and Fosamax™ to see whether it will prevent further bone loss and to perhaps rebuild some of the calcium lost. The oral medicine must be given on a daily basis in the morning, before any food is ingested and the individual must remain vertical until the liquid…arrow_forwardElla is an attorney who has worked in private practice for 25 years.

Her fatigue has recently worsened and she has been feeling nauseous and light-headed consistently over the last several days.

She cycles to university as she lives close by. Maddie doesn’t go to the gym as she can’t afford it. She is part of the campus video and computer game club, meaning she spends a lot of time gaming. Given Maddie's limited university schedule with few face-to-face classes, her close proximity to the university enabling cycling, and her active involvement in a sedentary club focused on video and computer gaming, what are some viable, low-cost strategies for her to enhance her physical activity sustainably? Group of answer choices Incorporate regular use of free community resources like outdoor gyms to supplement her active travel routine.
