For each scenario that follows, determine the person's sample number and explain why you chose that sample. In your explanation, be sure to address all abnormal findings. 1 Mr. Higgs is admitted to the hospital with a fever, fatigue, and tachycardia. He has noticed his urine has been cloudy over the past few days. A urinalysis was performed. Which of the samples from the table above belongs to Mr. Higgs? Explain why you chose that sample. 2 Based on your knowledge of the nephron and its functions, which of the samples from the table above are normal? Explain why you chose that sample.

Answer 1

ANS1: Mr,Higg's is admitted to the hospital with a fever ,fatigue and tachycardia. He has noticed his urine has been cloudy over the past few days because he might suffers from infection, Kidney disease  etc. according to the symptoms.

SAMPLE 5.from the above table belongs to the Mr.Higg's because presence of protein in the urine make the urine cloudy and Glucose can only found in the urine when kidneys are damaged and presence of blood in the urine als assign of the urinary infection,stones in the kidney or kidney disease.

We choose sample 5 because pH is 7.5, presence of protein,Glucose, blood in the urine along with the ymptoms shows the presence of diseases.

ANS2:sample 4 ,from the above table is normal. according to the Normal Range of the Urine :

pH is 4.5 to 8

absence of ketone

absence of Leukocytes

slightly presence of blood greater less than or equal to 2/hpf

Glucose less than or equal to 130mg/d

specific gravity 1.005 to 1.025

these are the normal range of the urine components .if ratio of these components increases or decreases cause abnormal functioning of the body.Above sample no 5shows the symptoms of kidney disease in Mr.Higg.
