Heart and Reloaded Case Study
Lewis and Clark Reloaded Case Study Directions: Go to this website: http://www.sciencecases.org/bicycle_ride/bicycle_ride.asp Complete the Answers to Parts I, II, and III Part I
1. What body systems are primarily affected and what physiological changes would you expect Joe and Frank to experience during such rigorous exercise? Respiratory, circulatory, cardiovascular and musclar systems because the heart would be worked to its peak, you can lose breath easily riding so long, and your muscles will get fatigued.
2. List the symptoms Joe is manifesting on the 20th day of cycling. He is bleeding,dizzy, and suffering from fatigue.
3. Could Joe’s symptoms be explained by your answers to Question #1 alone? Yes because he has been working his cardiovascular system hard, and his muscular system were becoming fatigued.
Part II
1. What, if any, of this new information might be relevant to this case? Joe started vomiting and Joe was drinking more energy drinks than Frank.
2. What can you determine from the clinical lab results of Joe’s blood work and urinalysis? He has an infection because the number of neutrophils in the blood are above average and Joe is not getting enough water because his urine is a dark gold.
3. What additional information or tests would you request? I would also see his heart rate to check his cardiovascular system.
Part III
Your Task
From this point forward, you will role-play Dr. Smith’s medical consultants. Your task is to gather “missing” information from Joe and Frank, asking additional questions about their daily habits, activities, and experiences on the bike trail. What other questions would you ask Joe and Frank in order to gather pertinent information necessary for you to make an accurate diagnosis? Write down a minimum of 5 questions that you would ask.
Have you been sick before you went on the bike trip?
Have you gone any bike trips like this before doing something so rigorous?
