A man comes to the Walk In clinic complaining of a golf-ball sized mass near his left groin. Upon physical examination, the mass is palpable, and warm to the touch, with a 5 cm radius of cellulitis. As the physician palpates the mass, a thick, purulent substance leaks out. The physician promptly collects the pus and sends it to the lab for testing. The physician then sends the man home with directions to apply heat to the area 3-4 times per day and to wait to hear what the lab results are before discussing a treatment plan. Below are the preliminary laboratory results: The physician orders a lab technician to perform a Kirby Bauer disk diffusion assay and finds that the organism is resistant to the following antibiotics: 1) Penicillin, 2) Ampicillin, 3) Methicillin, and 4) Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole. Based upon this recent revelation, what drug would you choose to treat the patient with?

Victoria and Rusty were worried about their infant Bailey since his first trip to the hospital at 3 weeks of age. That time he had a temperature of 103'F and a runny nose. The emergency physician checked Bailey over but sent him home saying it was only a com- mon cold, probably brought home by his older sib- lings, and that all would be fine. But Bailey's health has not been fine as he has been having an unusual number of bacterial infections and he is not yet quite 1 year old. The antibiotics that Bailey's physician prescribed have cleared up his bacterial respiratory infections but another infection always follows. Now that Bailey is back at the hospital with pneumonia, his physician has ordered a number of other laboratory tests as he is now worried about Bailey's immune system. The studies showed that Bailey had normal levels of B cells and T cells, with his immu- noglobulin levels and hematology results listed in CASE STUDY TABLE 11-1.1.

Mr. Oliver arrived early for his blood draw one Monday morning. The medical assistant was running late that day, and seemed to be a bit distracted as the preparation for the blood draw. Mr. Oliver's physician had ordered a CBC (to be collected in a potassium EDTA tube) and a potassium level (to be collected in a green top heparinized tube) The MA completed the blood draw, and thanked Mr. Oliver for his time. The next day, the physician's office called Mr. Oliver and asked him to come in to have his potassium level rechecked, as it was elevated on the test from the day before. This was not an expected result, as usually Mr. Oliver's potassium level was decreased below the reference range. The specimen was drawn and checked on a STAT basis, and the result was in the low end of the reference range. The physician told Mr. Oliver that the previous result was elevated because of a laboratory error. 1. What are two sources of error that could cause the potassium result to be erroneously…

Mrs. Jones is a 70-year-old woman you are admitting to the skilled nursing facility after a total hip replacement. When you obtain her past medical history, she reports a problem with a chronic rash under her breasts and in her supragluteal fold. She has tried a number of topical antifungal treatments without success. She has never seen a dermatologist. While she finds the rash a nuisance and experiences an occasional increase in itchiness, it is something she can live with. Her primary care provider diagnosed the rash as Candida and encouraged her to keep the area clean and dry and to use antifungals.
