Hormone Imbalances
you are an endocrinologist and study the impact hormone imbalances have on the other systems of the body. One of your patients, 18-year-old Jane, states that she is plagued by nausea, thirst, and amenorrhea. Jane lacks energy and has difficulty concentrating, although indicates she has been eating and drinking regularly. Her urinary frequency is high and she looks underdeveloped for her age. Based on these symptoms, choose one disease to diagnose Jane with: Diabetes mellitus Diabetes insipidus Turner’s syndrome Through this 2-part discussion with your classmates, you will state your diagnosis, explain the disease, and why you chose it using appropriate and sufficient evidence. Your explanation should include what tests to run to confirm your diagnosis, the cause of the disease, impact on the anatomy and physiology of the body, demographics, symptoms, any current research, prescribe a course of treatment, and give a prognosis. You will respond to your classmates’ posts to convince them why they should agree with your diagnosis. You may also be convinced by a classmate to switch your initial diagnosis. In other words, you need to know why your diagnosis is correct and why the other diseases would not be. Remember, no answer is one hundred percent correct so you are not saying that others are wrong, but instead why your diagnosis is optimal based on evidence. Each disease could be valid.
