What would her target goal weight be based on

this new information?

Question 11

Q

Anorexia How do you Calculate TGW based on weight when lost menses?

Current weight: 39.6 kg. Height: 163 cm

Girl remembers she lost her period around 43.2kg but

can’t be sure. Calculate a target goal weight based on this information

Answer

A

2 kg + 2 kg = 45.2 kg
6 kg / 45.2kg = TGW of 87.6%

Question 12

Q

Anorexia How do you calculate TGW based on BMI?

You are in ED seeing a 16 year old patient with likely Anorexia

Nervosa. Her current weight: 39.6 kg. Height: 163 cm. Her physical exam is normal and her orthostatic vitals are

also within normal limits. You do not have access to any growth

records. She is with her Dad and he doesn’t remember what weight she was when she lost her period.

Calculate a target goal weight

Answer

A

50%ile BMI for 16 year old female = 20.5 kg/m2

speculum -endocervical swabs-gonorrhoeae + Chlamydia and ? HSV
Vaginal swabs - for culture; pH testing; amine odour whiff testing; normal saline and potassium hydroxide wet preparations; and Gram stain. Clinical assessment for bacterial vaginosis

Answer 117

A

Cefoxitin 2 g IV every 6 hours PLUS doxycycline 100 mg IV or PO every 12 hours

Parenteral therapy may be discontinued 24 hours after a patient improves clinically, and oral therapy with doxycycline (100 mg bid) should continue for a total of 14 days

**Most authorities recommend administering doxycycline in oral form even in hospitalized patients, because IV administration is painful and more costly, and because oral and IV administration provide similar bioavailability

Answer 118

A

Ceftriaxone 250 mg IM in a single dose PLUS doxycycline 100 mg PO bid for 14 days
OR

Cefoxitin 2 g IM PLUS probenecid 1 g PO in a single dose concurrently once PLUS doxycycline 100 mg PO bid for 14 days

For the treatment options listed above, many experts recommend the addition of metronidazole 500 mg PO bid for 14 days to this regimen for additional anaerobic coverage and the treatment of bacterial vaginosis

Answer 119

A

Patients with conditions that are notifiable according to provincial and territorial laws and regulations should be reported to local public health authorities.

a. to include additional time up to the date of treatment
b. if the index case states that there were no partners during the recommended trace-back period, then the last partner should be notified
c. if all partners traced (according to recommended trace-back period) test negative, then the partner prior to the trace-back period should be notified.
After evaluation, sexual partners should be empirically treated with regimens effective against both gonorrhea and chlamydia regardless of clinical findings and without waiting for test results.

Answer 120

A

Following a diagnosis of PID, testing and counselling should be performed for other infections, including HIV and syphilis.
Immunization against hepatitis B and HPV is recommended if not already immune.

Answer 121

A

Pain and tenderness resulting from acute PID should begin to resolve within 48-72 hours of initiating antibiotics.
- If no improvement is observed, further work-up is essential.
Individuals treated as OPD need careful follow-up and should be re-evaluated 2 to 3 days after treatment is initiated.
- If no clinical improvement has occurred, hospital admission for parenteral therapy and observation is required.
Following a diagnosis of PID, patients should be informed that they are at risk of both
- short-term consequences such as Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome (perihepatitis) and tubo-ovarian abscess, and
- long-term sequelae, including infertility, ectopic pregnancy and chronic pelvic pain.

Answer 122

Adverse experiences such as:

emotional, and physical or sexual abuse,

parental separation or divorce,

a household member who is substance abusing, mentally ill or incarcerated[22]

Substance abuse (smoking often precedes the use of illicit drugs)[15]

Answer 124

A

teenagers develop nicotine addiction at much lower levels of consumption than adults, making smoking cessation potentially more difficult for this population.
Many adolescents develop a higher tolerance to nicotine and experience withdrawal symptoms (signalling dependence) after only days or weeks of exposure.
Early nicotine dependence is an important factor in determining which individuals become regular smokers after experimentation.I
withdrawal symptoms can appear sooner, sometimes after smoking only a few cigarettes.
Craving, which is often the first symptom of nicotine dependence, can emerge three months to four months after taking the first puff of cigarette smoke.
About 18 months after smoking their first whole cigarette, one-quarter of young smokers have lost confidence in their ability to quit.

Answer 125

A

nicotine induces persistent changes in neural connectivity in several brain areas, including the nucleus accumbens, the medial prefrontal cortex and the amygdala, all of which are involved with emotion regulation.[
Adolescent smokers appear to be more sensitive to the rewarding effects of nicotine and have higher risks for addiction and affective disorders in adulthood.
Chronic nicotine usage increase the risks for future substance use.

Answer 127

A

‘dripping’, - trickle drops of a nicotine-containing fluid directly onto the heating element, is associated with tank systems. While generating a more potent vapour, the intense heat alters the chemical composition of e-liquids, creating new compounds. Changes in chemical structure affect the liquid nicotine, filler ingredients and any flavouring(s) that are present. The stronger the battery, the higher the temperature, making chemical reactions more complete.[14]
One significant potential danger of large boluses of nicotine, as generated by tank technology, is their potential for acute cardiac events. A hypercoagulable state may be produced, which can, in turn, promote thrombosis.
Exposure to fine particulates in the aerosol generated by e-smoking may impair respiratory function in users and bystanders (asthma and bronchitis).
impacts of nicotine on the developing brain and the potential for dependency
Aside from nicotine, e-cigarette aerosols may also contain propylene glycol and glycerol/glycerin as filler materials, flavourings and other chemical compounds. Aerosolized propylene glycol and glycerol are known to produce mouth and throat irritation, and dry cough;

Gender expression: This is how you express your gender to others, whether through behaviour, clothing, hairstyle, or the name you choose to go by. Words to describe someone’s gender expression could be “masculine,” “feminine,” or “androgynous”.
Gender expression: This is how you express your gender to others, whether through behaviour, clothing, hairstyle, or the name you choose to go by. Words to describe someone’s gender expression could be “masculine,” “feminine,” or “androgynous”.
Assigned sex: When children are born, they are assigned “male” or “female” based on their external sex organs. When a child has a penis, the assigned sex is male. When a child has a vulva, the assigned sex is female. In rare cases, a child is born with external sex organs that are not clearly male or female.
Sexual orientation: This refers to the gender of the people to whom you are typically sexually and/or romantically attracted. A person can be attracted to those of the same gender and/or different gender(s). Your gender identity does not define your sexual orientation.

Answer 139

A

1. Transgender: When a person’s gender identity is not the same as their assigned sex at birth, they may be referred to as “transgender” (often shortened to “trans”). For example, a child born with female body parts may say that they are a boy. A child may also say that they are not a boy or a girl, but just “themselves” because they don’t want their sexual characteristics to define who they are. Indigenous people may use the term “two-spirit” to represent a person with a combination of masculine and feminine characteristics.

2. Gender dysphoria: Describes the level of discomfort or suffering associated with the conflict that can exist between a person’s assigned sex at birth and their true gender. Some transgender children experience no distress about their bodies, but others may be very uncomfortable with their assigned sex, especially at the start of puberty when their body starts to change.
