Consider the following case: Patient History: Tom, a college freshman, reported to the school health office. He had stomach pain and vomiting, coughing, wheezing, and was recovering from a recent case of sinusitis. He also had a slight temperature and was sweating, and had labored breathing due to viscous mucus secretions in his lungs. He told the school nurse that he had found it difficult to maintain his usual routine and had forgotten to take his nutritional supplements at meal time because he forgot them at home over his last school break. The following tests were ordered: Test Result Reference Range Creatinine 1.2 0.9-1.3mg/dL BUN 14 6-20mg/dL Na 138 136-146mEq/L K 3.6 3.5-5.1mEq/L Cl 118 98-107mEq/L CO2 32 23-29mEq/L AST 32 <35U/L ALT 28 <45U/L Total Bilirubin 1.0 0.1-2.0mg/dL Albumin 3.6 3.5-5.2mg/dL Amylase 22 28-100U/L Lipase 8 23-300U/L Cholesterol 90 140-200mg/dL The school doctor received the results and suspects there is a gap in the patient history.
