Doing an assignment...can someone help me??

Hey all. :)

I am doing an assignment for school that is due tomorrow.

Basically here's what I have to do...

I have a set of lab values from a urinalysis. I have to take those lab values, analyze them, and then try to use those lab values along with the patient's complaints to figure out the following:

- What should be reported to the MD

- What other Hx is needed from the patient?

- What possible orders can be anticipated for this patient?

- What possible medical diagnoses are expected.

So.....Here's the info that I have from the urinalysis...

Color: Dark Amber

Character: Cloudy

USG 1.009

pH 6.9

(+) Protein

3+ Glucose

(+) WBC 1-3

(+) Bacteria (unspecified type)

(+) Casts

(+) Crystals

Pt. complains of dysuria, frequent urination with malaise, low grade fever.

So...I have to take that info and try to determine the 4 things above.

I am thinking along the lines of a diagnosis of Cystitis. Does that sound about right? What do you think?

If I can just figure out the right diagnosis, I can figure out the other stuff easily.

I'd appreciate the help. Thanks

Please! This thread is not about me. It really make me uncomfortable to have people post responses about me when the thread is about something else.
