An 84- year-old -a female who has a history of diverticular disease presents to the clinic with left lower quadrant (LLQ) pain of the abdomen that is accompanied by with constipation, nausea, vomiting and a low-grade fever (100.20 F) for 1 day.
On physical exam the patient appears unwell. She has signs of dehydration (pale mucosa, poor skin turgor with mild hypotension [90/60 mm Hg] and tachycardia [101 bpm]). The remainder of her exam is normal except for her abdomen where the NP notes a distended, round contour. Bowel sounds a faint and very hypoactive. She is tender to light palpation of the LLQ but without rebound tenderness. There is hyper-resonance of her abdomen to percussion.
The following diagnostics reveal:
Stool for occult blood is positive.
Flat plate abdominal x-ray demonstrates a bowel-gas pattern consistent with an ileus.
Abdominal CT scan with contrast shows no evidence of a mass or abscess. Small bowel in distended.
Based on the clinical presentation, physical exam and diagnostic findings, the patient is diagnosed with acute diverticulitis and she is admitted to the hospital. She is prescribed intravenous antibiotics and fluids (IVF). Her symptoms improved and she could tolerate a regular diet before she was discharged to home.
Discussion Questions:
1. Compare and contrast the pathophysiology between diverticular disease (diverticulosis) and diverticulitis.
2. Identify the clinical findings from the case that supports a diagnosis of acute diverticulitis.
3. List 3 risk factors for acute diverticulitis.
4. Discuss why antibiotics and IV fluids are indicated in this case.
Chapter 3 discussed cell structure and functions, and Chapter 4 discussed the organization and function of the human body. When viewed together, this implies the functions of the human body are dependent upon cellular activity. Explain why this would be correct. An important cellular structure is the cell (plasma) membrane. Identify and explain a specific function of the cell membrane that you feel is the most important in achieving homeostasis.
Research and discuss the function of the human kidneys. What types of biological macromolecules does a normal healthy kidney regulate and what types of membrane transport are used? Explain how kidney dialysis can take over these functions in someone with kidney disease. Cite your sources.
Lesson planning is an important skill. There are many different ways to write a lesson plan but they all will include some key components. This assignment will look at writing measurable student objectives, applying appropriate national and state content standards to child-centered activities, identifying authentic assessments, and comparing Christ-like behaviors to professional teacher standards.
Address each one of the topics below. Copy and paste them into a new document.
1. Outcomes, objectives, must be specific and measurable. You, as the instructor, must be able to observe the students meeting the objective. Below are examples of poorly written objectives. Rewrite each objective so it is specific and measurable. Refer to “Verbs to Use In Writing Objectives”, if you need some verb suggestions.
Students will learn how to dribble a soccer ball.
Students will know all the rules of softball.
Students will appreciate their classmates.
Students will remember the three juggling patterns.
Students will consider the safety rules.
Students will be aware of bullying.
Students will understand how to find the correct jump rope.
2. Refer back to your motor skill topic chosen in week one. If you are in California use the CA State Content Standards. Choose a grade level, K – 5. Identify and write two standards, within the grade level you chose, that would be appropriate for your chosen topic. Include the specific identifying number (i.e. 1.4) Give strong rationale as to why these two standards fit your chosen topic.
If you are outside of California use the SHAPE grade level outcomes. Choose a grade level, K – 5. Identify and write two outcomes, within the grade level you chose, that would be appropriate for your chosen topic. Include the specific identifying number (i.e. S1.E21.2) Give strong rationale as to why these two outcomes fit your chosen topic.

Use Bullet points and clear phrases – not full paragraphs. This should be the information explaining the topic/title of the slide.
Provide main points in bullets and include a quote from the source to support your claims somewhere on the slide. Remember 85% or more of the slide should be in your own words – if you include a quote be sure to put it in quotation marks and cite it.
Cite all information you used from a source even when explaining it in your own words.
This is where you will format your information into bullet points.
Look at the bullet points you for this slide in the information section. Now write a speech in paragraph form where you explain EACH bullet in more detail. Give some of the examples that support the bullet points from your text (just explain in your own words, do not read straight sentences from the articles).
