What is the differential diagnosis for this set of symptoms? What is your preliminary diagnosis?

Case Study: Differential Diagnosis

A 29-year-old single, sexually active woman reporting that she is in a monogamous relationship, has experienced five attacks of acute cystitis in the past year, all characterized by dysuria, increased frequency, and urgency. Each case was diagnosed on the basis of the clinical picture and a laboratory finding of bacteriuria. The urine bacterial counts in these cases ranged from 104 to 106 organisms/ml. Lab tests indicated that the third and fourth infections were caused by Escherichia coli, while the fifth infection was caused by an enterococcus and the second infection was caused by Proteus mirabilis. Each infection responded to short-term treatment with trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole. The recurrences occurred at intervals of 3 weeks to 3 months following completion of antibiotic therapy. For the past two days, the woman has once again been experiencing dysuria, increased frequency, and urgency, so she goes to see her nurse practitioner provider. Her vital signs are T = 37.6°C, P = 100, R = 18, and BP = 110/75 mm Hg. Physical examination reveals a mild tenderness to palpation in the suprapubic area, but no other abnormalities. A bimanual pelvic examination reveals a normal-sized uterus and adnexae with no apparent adnexal tenderness. No vaginal discharge is noted. The cervix appears normal.

Questions:

1. What is the differential diagnosis for this set of symptoms? What is your preliminary diagnosis?
2. What tests should you order to confirm your preliminary diagnosis?
3. What are the possible causes of recurrent lower UTIs? Which of these is most likely in this case?
4. When would you collaborate with other professionals and refer your patient to a specialist and why?

Please support with up-to-date evidence-based standard of care guidelines.

  Please read the case study and answer the questions. Support your assignment with 3 evidence based resources that are less then 5 years old. 

how is your story (the topic of your story) explorable using other forms of creative nonfiction, what are those forms

In about 100 words, write about how the topic of your creative nonfiction essay (for Essay 1) could be developed using new media/multimedia and investigative features or profiles, human interest pieces, lifestyle feature, travel stories, etc. Think about the examples (Lisa Ling’s work, Homelessness in America, etc.) that we discussed earlier. In other words, how is your story (the topic of your story) explorable using other forms of creative nonfiction, what are those forms, if your topic is in these types of stories you have watched/experienced before, etc.

Directions: Be sure to make an electronic copy of your answer before submitting it to Ashworth College for grading. Unless otherwise stated, answer in complete sentences, and be sure to use correct English spelling and grammar. Sources must be cited in APA format. Your response should be four (4) double-spaced pages in length; refer to the “Format Requirements” page for specific format requirements.

Part 1

Your assignment is to choose an objective relevant to math for the primary grades. You should use your state math standards just as you did with science for Assignment 4. Then use the lesson plan outline below to create a math lesson.

For this assignment, instead of an initial activity, you will start your lesson with a “motivating question,” to not only engage students in the lesson, but to offer the opportunity for a brief informal pre-assessment. The lesson should end with evaluation of both yourself and your students.

A breakdown of what is expected in your assignment is below:

Part 2

As you did your reading for Lesson 7, it brought about the understanding that math and science can, and should be, intertwined with literacy.

· Books can serve many purposes in math and science.

· Books can be used as initial activities in lessons to grab the students’ attention.

· Books can help foster the use of concept words.

· Books can serve as visual aids in understanding math and science concepts.

Using children’s books is a great way to teach math and science concepts across the curriculum.

1. Find three children’s books that could be used in correlation with a particular math or science concept or skill.

2. In paragraph form, be sure to identify the title and author of each book.

3. Give a brief overview of each book, and explain which math or science concept or skill you would use each book to help teach.

4. Finally, briefly describe an activity you could do with the students as an extension of each story to help teach the concept or skill. 


You may use the Internet and/or Appendix B in your textbook to help you find books.
