Clinical Decision Cases
• Case I: Your roommate has been prescribed antibiotics to treat an upper respiratory infection. She tells you that the last time she took this particular antibiotic, she developed a vaginal infection. She asks you why this happened and wants to know what she can do to prevent it from again.
• Case II: Charlene asks you to explain lactation to her as she is pregnant and plans to breastfeed her newborn.
• Case III: How does spermatogenesis differ from oogenesis?
• Case IV: Kyra is a 55-year-old at the clinic to evaluate symptoms she has experienced for the past five months. She reports feeling fullness in her abdomen and has lost her appetite. She feels this is likely because she feels full after eating only a small amount. She has had intermittent constipation and daily fatigue, which interferes with her life. What is the likely diagnosis? What diagnostic tests are needed? What management strategies will likely be used?
• Case V: Caroline is at the clinic for her annual physical examination. She tells you that her sister has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She asks you to tell her about the risk factors for this disease. What would you tell her?
