Let’s return to Kyle Boulard, whom we met in the previous chapter. After two days in the hospital, Mr. After two days in the hospital, Kyle Boulard has recovered from his acute diabetic crisis and his type 1 diabetes is once again under control. The last update on his chart before he is discharged includes the following:
BP 150/95, HR 75, temperature
Urine: pH 6.9, negative for glucose and
Mr. Boulard is prescribed a thiazide diuretic and an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. He is counseled on the importance of keeping his diabetes under control, taking his medications regularly, and keeping his outpatient follow-up appointments.
What is Mr. Boulard’s main problem at this point?

EBK ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY
- Lisa Smith (LS) is brought to the emergency department [ER] for management of accidental acute poisoning. She is nonresponsive and admitted to the critical care unit [CCU] to be closely monitored. LS has no urinary output, and her laboratory values are serum K+ = 6.7 mEq/L; serum Na+ = 177 mEq/L; arterial blood gases [ABGs]: pH = 7.13, PaCO2 = 35 mmHg, HCO3- = 16 mEq/L, PaO2 = 89 mmHg, and oxygen saturation = 94%. What electrolyte disturbances need to be monitored at this time? What clinical signs & symptoms should the nurse be assessing LP, at this time, for the electrolyte disturbances?arrow_forwardHematology Data: 24 hour urine volume: 1,000 mL; Serum Creatinine: 2.0 mg/dL; Urine Creatinine: 200 mg/dL What's the calculation for the Creatinine clearance? Please show steps, thank you!arrow_forwardA 3-month-old boy is brought to the emergency department because of a 20day history of lethargy. Physical examination shows no other abnormalities. The results of laboratory studies are shown: serum: Na+ 165 mEa/L (N=139-146) Cl- 130 mEq/L (N=95-105) Osmolality 334 mOsmol/kg H2O (N=282-295) urine: specific gravity 1.001 osmolality 117 mOsmol/kg H2O (N>200) He is admitted to the hospital. His urine output is increased. His serum ADH (vasopressin) concentraion is 24 pg/mL (N=1-5); aldosterone and renin concentrations are within the reference ranges. The urine osmolality remains unchanges after administration of 1-deamino-B-arginine vasopressin. An MRI of the brain and pituitary gland shows no abnormalities. Ultrasonography shows normal kidneys. The most likely underlying cause of the findings in this patient is a defect in which of the following?a. angiotensin-converting enzyme b. aquaporin c. 11a-Hydroxylase d. renin e. vasopressin receptorsarrow_forward
