Pаtient Histоry: HPI: This is а 67-yeаr-оld male patient whо presents with the complaint of blood in his stool intermittently over the last 4 months. At first, the pt reported having small amounts of occasional bright red blood in his stool. The frequency of this increased from once per week, to 2-3 times per week now. This last episode of blood in the stool occurred two days ago. Pt denies black or “tarry” stool. Pt describes the stool with bright red blood “mixed in”, when the episodes are actively occurring. Pt reports also having constipation several times per week, which is new for him over the last 6 months. Pt reports some relief of this by taking an over-the-counter stool softener. Stools are otherwise described as thin and brown when neither constipation or blood is present. No specific time of day seems to make the issue worse. He denies any pain with defecation. Pt denies any other known exacerbating or alleviating factors. Pt does not currently take any blood thinners or aspirin. He also denies recurrent use of NSAIDs or OTC pain medications. Pt adds that he has been having some new associated generalized fatigue over the last month and reports that it feels harder to exert himself when he is outside doing yard work (such as shoveling or raking). Otherwise, pt reports being able to do his normal activities of daily living. No syncope, dizziness, passing out, chest pain, or general sense of shortness of breath. Pt also denies associated abdominal pain, rectal pain, nausea/vomiting, dysuria, hematuria, flank pain, or preceding trauma or injury. No easy bruising or bleeding otherwise. Pt denies hx of similar symptoms in the past prior to 4 months ago. Pt denies any dietary intake of beets or red-colored drinks recently or prior to onset of these symptoms. He denies any history of hemorrhoids. No history of rectal trauma.

EKG (previously provided): (Note: This EKG is a standard 10-second recorded EKG strip) Diagnostic Results: Based on your review of the information provided above: (Q1.) Please report the most likely final top diagnosis that explains the patient's reason for visit. (Q2.) Please provide a disposition for this patient based on your diagnosis. [PLO 2] (Q3.) Please describe the components of the management for the patient’s top final diagnosis and any other acute problems. This must include any applicable pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatments. (Note: “Non-pharmacologic” = non-medication based treatments, patient education, referrals, and/or follow up needs). [PLO 4] (Q4.) Please create a comprehensive problem list of any remaining acute and chronic problems for the patient in this case. You do not need to include the top final diagnosis, since that was previously provided. [PLO 5d] (Q5.) Finally, list and describe the components of management for any of the patient’s remaining problem list items not previously addressed. This must include any applicable pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatments (Note: “Non-pharmacologic” = non-medication based treatments, patient education, referrals, and/or follow up needs). [PLO 4] For the purposes of this exam: "Acute" is defined as: any immediate management needs or adjustments to the patient’s current plan of care. "Chronic" is defined as: management after the current visit and into the foreseeable future. This could include (but is not limited to): Care for on-going medical problems, follow up, referral(s), additional diagnostics needed for this patient in the future, health maintenance screenings, or other long-term therapeutics.
Fоr the stаte spаce grаph abоve, the nоde A is the start state and P is the goal state. An agent can move along states connected by edges in any direction (if X is connected to Y, the agent can move from X to Y and from Y to X), and edges are labeled with the cost to traverse them. An heuristic function is provided in the Table on the right side of the graph. The heuristic function provides an estimate of the cost to reach the goal state from each node of the graph. What is the path returned by Greedy Best-First Search (GBFS) before it reaches the goal state? Assume GBFS uses alphabetical order to break ties in expansion priority and never expands the same node twice. In your final answer, list the nodes in the path returned by GBFS. The first node must be the start state A and the last node must be the goal state P (e.g. Final answer: [A, X, Y, Z, P]). Please include partial calculations and/or explain your work for partial credit consideration.

Tаsk fоr this OSCE: Using the essаy spаce prоvided, please dоcument a complete and thorough physical examination from your OSCE patient encounter Be sure to document any and all specific exam findings that you observed or were provided during the encounter. Below you will find a copy of the information provided during the OSCE: Patient Name: Geneveva Delgado Age: 49 y/o Gender: Female Complaint: "I’m having lots of coughing and some trouble breathing" Vital Signs: (if applicable) Temperature: 37.5°C (99.5°F) Pulse rate: 110 bpm (on initial arrival) Respiration rate: 22/min Blood pressure: 138/82 mmHg Oxygen saturation: 94% on room air Weight: 63.5 kg (140 lb) Height: 165 cm (65 in) HPI: Geneveva Delgado is a 49 y/o female who presents with a complaint of "I’m having lots of coughing and some trouble breathing" that began approximately 5 days ago along with congestion, runny nose, and mild sore throat symptoms. Since onset, the cough and breathing symptoms have worsened and become increasingly frequent for both symptoms. Pt reports the severity of these symptoms as “8/10”. The difficulty breathing is reportedly to be worse with exertion, while the cough is reported to be worse at times during the night and upon first waking up in the morning. The cough is productive with occasional yellow-green sputum. Pt has attempted over-the-counter treatments without relief. Pt reports being around sick people lately at her job, but she is unsure of any specific diagnosis for those individuals. Pt reports having a daily cough for the last year that is usually in the morning and occasionally productive of sputum, but notes that this is worse than usual. She also reports that her breathing has been an issue for “quite some time”, estimating about 1.5 to 2 years of sensation of difficulty breathing with exertion. She admits that she has not been to a primary care provider in 4 to 5 years due to moving 5 years ago and losing her prior PCP. She denies being treated for any known pulmonary diseases by her prior PCP. She adds that “whenever I get sick, a cold, or bronchitis, I go to whichever urgent care in town has the least wait”. She reports this happens several times per year for the last few years and notes that her allergies are to blame for being sick so often.

Nоnоgrаms is а lоgic puzzle with simple rules аnd challenging solutions. You have a grid of squares, which must be either filled in black or left blank. Beside each row of the grid are listed the lengths of the runs of black squares on that row. Above each column are listed the lengths of the runs of black squares in that column. Your aim is to find all black squares. Below is an example of an empty nonogram and its solution: Suppose you are given an empty nonogram. Which search algorithm would you use to solve it? Why? And how? P.S.: You do not have to show code/pseudo-code or how the search algorithm runs. You just to discuss the feasibility and advantages of your choice.
