House Case Day

To begin class, we started by discussing the characteristics of the cell membrane. Then, we took a quiz regarding lab data and graphing. Next, we discussed the House Case.


House Case

We first went over the various symptoms that the cross country runner displayed.

Then, we thought of tests we could conduct to test the symptoms.

After, we wrote down several diagnoses of the cross country runner.

Finally, we eliminated some of the diagnoses that had to be false and left class with an answer in mind.

Conclusion

The cross country runner drank an excess of water during the run, after he had lost a lot of sodium in his sweat. This caused an inbalance of the sodium and water levels in the body, resulting in his symptoms. This is called hyponatremia.
