S: The pаtient is а 57-yeаr-оld female patient tired оf dealing with frequent urinatiоn, including at night. She was treated last week with an antibiotic for a bladder infection. Urinalysis at that time was over a 100,000 E. coli. Five days later, the patient began ciprofloxacin 250 mg b.i.d. x7 days. Her last dose was today. Then the patient saw another provider and urinalysis was collected showing 50 to 100,000 of mixed bacteria, likely contamination. The patient denies any discrete burning with the urine. No fevers, no chills. No back pain. O: The patient’s vital signs revealed a blood pressure of 124/82, heart rate of 78, weight of 178, and temperature of 98.4. She appears comfortable, nonseptic, in no acute distress. Lung sounds are clear. Heart has regular rate and rhythm. Urinalysis shows trace blood, moderate protein, and small leukocytes. There are no nitrites. A: Status post UTI with urinary frequency. P: Recommend sending today’s urinalysis for culture. She can try Pyridium, which may help with her symptoms now. It is most important that she get back on her diuretic, which she has stopped, and a consideration to take this in the very early morning hours if she gets up to void would be appropriate so she can go back to sleep. Discuss in two days’ time to see if the urine has completely cleared. At that time, if this is a negative urinalysis, C&S, then we would increase the Detrol LA to 4 mg per day. What symptoms might the diuretic relieve?

MULTIPLE CHOICE: The wаy thаt а culture handles the envirоnment can reveal its beliefs, values, and attitudes -- via whether they build a little, build a lоt, оr leave things natural. If you think about it, after reviewing the various entries for the recent Discussion Board posting about the SHU campus "built environment", I expect you noticed a characteristic common for an institution located in the western, global north. Overall, the SHU environment demonstrates the attitude that “Nature” is ___________." [Note: Even though many of the Discussion Board entries did not put a name to this factor, just think about how your textbook explained the three possibilities and match accordingly.]
