Suppose that in the near future, you are a prenatal care provider. In the most recent ultrasound checkup on the expecting mother, you unfortunately found that the fetus is suffering a neural tube defect in the form of anencephaly. Seeing as the mother is still in the 12th week of pregnancy or the 1st trimester, the pregnancy can still be terminated via medical means. How would you explain to the parents the situation they are in?

At his yearly physical, you tell him that it is important that he perform a monthly testicular self-examination. When you attempt to explain to him how to perform the examination, he becomes embarrassed and does not appear to be listening to your instructions. • What are some key pieces of information that Jeffrey should know about testicular cancer? • What should you say to Jeffrey?arrow_forwardA highly talented 22-year-old female college athlete has just qualified to compete in the Summer Olympics. However, when she is required to undergo laboratory testing to measure testosterone levels, she is informed that she will not be permitted to compete because her testosterone levels are “too high for a female athlete”. Further medical and genetic testing reveal that she has a condition known as Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome. She promptly hires an attorney to appeal the decision. The Olympic Committee maintains that her elevated testosterone levels will give her an unfair advantage over her fellow female athletes. Is this accurate?
