Decades ago 2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) was introduced as a weight loss drug acting as an agent that uncouples oxidative phosphorylation causing significant increase in basal metabolic rate. However, the consumption of the product has resulted in many deaths due to misuse causing adverse effects such as hyperthermia, tachycardia, diaphoresis and tachypnea. The rate of metabolism is closely linked to the rate of respiration; therefore, if metabolism is increasing there should also be an increase in…

hemolytic anemia, diabetes, increasing age, pregnancy secondary to elevated progesterone, and genetic predisposition (Native Americans and those of Chinese or Japanese descent).

A nurse can use several pain assessment tools that include initial pain assessment, the brief pain inventory, the short- form McGill Pain Questionnaire, PQRST method of pain assessment, pain-rating scales, numeric rating scales, verbal descriptor scale, visual analogue scale, and the descriptor scale. Then for a infants a nurse would depend on the patient's behavioral and physiologic cues, and when assessing a two year old the nurse would be able to rely on the patient to point to the location…

To monitor for efficacy in this case, I would expect the patient to take 20 mg of fluoxetine daily for 2-4 weeks and return for a follow-up visit, where she indicate if her symptoms have either resolved or improved. To monitor for toxicity, I would want to look for symptoms of serotonin syndrome. Serotonin syndrome occurs due to serotonergic drug use and excitability of peripheral and central postsynaptic 5HT-1A and 5Ht-2A receptors (Volpi-Abadie, Kaye, & Kaye, 2013). Serotonin syndrome…

collectively cause spikes in blood pressure. This resultant hypertension has the potential to be life threatening. According to Zuber et al, “there is also evidence suggesting a correlation between biochemical phenotype and characteristics of hypertension. Patients with tumors that produce high concentrations of norepinephrine are likely to incur sustained hypertension, while patients with significantly elevated levels of epinephrine are often seen having paroxysmal and orthostatic…
