Chapter 15, Problem 2CCS
We have a new patient to consider today. Mr. Gutteman, a 70-year-old male, was brought into the ER in a comatose state and has yet to come out of it. It is obvious that he suffered severe head trauma-his scalp was badly lacerated, and he has an impacted skull fracture. His initial lab tests (blood and urine) were within normal limits. His fracture was repaired and the following orders (and others) were given:
Check qh (every hour) and record: spontaneous behavior, level of responsiveness to stimulation, movements, pupil size and reaction to light, speech, and vital signs.
Turn patient q4h and maintain meticulous skin care and dryness.
Mr. Gutteman is found to be losing huge amounts of water in urine and the volume lost is being routinely replaced (via IV line). Mr. Gutteman’s blood and urine tests are negative for glucose and
Relative to these findings:
What would you say Mr. Gutteman’s hormonal problem is, and what do you think caused it?

Your 80-year-old grandmother, Tess, while putting dishes up on a shelf, fell off a step stool and was unable to get up. She activated her medical lifeline and the emergency medical team arrived at the scene. They noticed her right leg was abducted and she was complaining of pain in her right leg and hip. Tess was taken to the emergency department, where an X-ray revealed that the neck of her right femur was fractured. Further X-rays revealed a reduced bone mass in her right hip, femur, and vertebrae. Surgery was done to repair the hip. Your grandmother is now recuperating and having physical therapy treatment daily.1. What organ and body system were affected by the injury?2. Name the type of tissue involved and the cells responsible for healing.3. The physician says she will do an open reduction to repair Tess’s hip. Explain the process of an open reduction.4. What disease condition did the X-ray of the vertebrae reveal?5. What is the significance of your grandmother’s age and…

Your sister sustained a compound (open) mid-shaft humeral fracture and was treated with open reduction & internal fixation using a plate & screws. Your niece sustained a simple ulnar fracture and was treated with closed reduction and a cast. After their 6 week follow-up visit, your niece says “Compared to mom, my arm doesn't even looked healed, it has a big bump on it in the x-ray picture!" and exclaims its unfair her arm remains in a "clumsy cast!" Based on concepts you have learned about bone fracture and healing and fracture repair, explain to your niece 1) the process of healing that has occurred in her fracture since her accident Use terminology AND your ability to explain their meanings in words a 14 year old can understand.
