A 74-year-old woman is transported to a regional burn center after being rescued from a house fire. Apparently, a space heater was knocked over and an area rug caught fire. The fire quickly spread throughout the house. She did not have any functional smoke detectors and became trapped in a back bedroom. Using the "rule of nines," the burn team estimates that approximately 30% of her TBSA is burned. Most of the burns are thought to involve the entire dermis, and the area looks waxy and white. This type of wound is considered to be: 1. Deep partial-thickness 2. Third-degree 3. Superficial partial-thickness 4. Full-thickness

Given the scenario, using the Rule of Nines and Lund and Bowder Method, I want you to compute the TBSA of the patients. Explain briefly or give the rationale for your answer. A 68 year old male patient has partial thickness burns to the front and back of the right and left leg, front of right arm, and anterior trunk? A 48 year old female patient has deep partial-thickness burns to both of the legs on the back, front and back of the trunk, both arms on the front and back, and front and back of the head and neck?

L.H. is a 55 year old male patient that has come into your clinic. L.H. has worked in construction for 15 years and is complaining of a red, itchy, dry rash that has formed on his arms and hands. Lately, his job is working to lay cement which means he is outside most of the time. The rash is often itchy and painful, which prevents him from performing his duties to his best ability and he is worried about continuing to work. Additionally, it has impacted his ability to play golf, a hobby that he enjoys in his spare time.LH has tried wearing work gloves, but due to the nature of the job he is unable to wear them the entire time. He’s also tried different creams, but that had little effect. Come up with 5 follow up questions you could ask L.H. to further determine the appropriate skin condition? Comprehension.

A 50-year-old postmenopausal woman has emphysema. This lung disease impairs the ability to oxygenate the blood, so patients experience significant fatigue and shortness of breath. To alleviate these symptoms, oxygen is typically prescribed, and this patient has a portable oxygen tank she carries with her at all times, breathing through nasal cannulae. Before she began using oxygen, her red blood cell (RBC) count was 6.3 x 1012/L. After oxygen therapy for several months, her RBC count dropped to 4.0 x 1012/L. What physiologic response explains the elevation of the first RBC count? What hormone is responsible? How is its production stimulated? What is the major way in which it acts? What explains the decline in RBC count with oxygen therapy for this patient?

A 65-year-old female is driven to the hospital emergency room with severe shortness of breath, cough, and fever. She is also complaining of muscle aches stating, “It feels like I was hit by a truck.” She has a long-standing history of severe lung disease (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) requiring home oxygen because of a 45-pack-per-year smoking history. It is January, and she declined influenza vaccination when she was seen by her primary care physician in November. She is admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of severe exacerbation of her chronic lung disease. The next day her attending physician decides to test her for influenza. The test is reported back to the floor as a critical value because the result is positive for influenza Type A. She is started on an antiviral medication for influenza. Discuss the following questions: What type of transmission-based precautions should be used to isolate this patient? What could have been done differently with this case starting…
