(b) A man with a history of pneumonia disease went to hospital for a blood test. He was required to perform arterial puncture. Justify why blood obtained from arterial puncture is suitable compared to other blood withdraw procedures such as venipuncture and skin puncture.
An elderly couple was killed in an accident. No surviving relatives are known, so their estate have been willed to chasrity. Later, a man claims that he is their child. Although friends of the couple knew that they had a son, no record of this can be found. Medical records show that the dead man was A Rh’, his wife was B Rh- and the claimant’s blood tests as O Rh’. Does it appear that his claim is valid? Justify your conclusion.

Thank you An 87-year-old woman with dementia lives in a nursing facility. A nurse notices that she has been coughing frequently and seems warm to the touch. She performs an evaluation on the woman and confirms a fever with a dry cough. She also notices that her throat seems inflamed and irritated. The woman is unable to answer questions about how she has been feeling lately to provide a history for the nurse. The nurse ensures that the woman is comfortable and returns to the nursing station to review that patient’s chart. The nurse finds that within the year that the patient has been in the nursing facility, she has had two respiratory infections diagnosed as pneumonia. The nurse calls the physician, worried that the patient may be developing pneumonia again. 1). Pneumonia is an infection of the lung that can be caused by a virus, bacteria, or fungi.

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?arrow_forward
