Bulimia

Jennifer is admitted to the hospital for bulimia. She is 36 years old. Her laboratory results are:

pH 7.48, pCO2 in the normal range, and total HCO3– higher than normal.

Conception Difficulties

Stacey and Paul are having difficulty conceiving a child. Stacey ovulates every 28 days, and Paul’s sperm count appears normal. Research reasons why they may be having difficulty. Discuss a few different reasons, then focus on one reason that you think might be likely. Go into detail on what happens to reduce the likelihood for conception in this instance, and explain what might be done to increase the likelihood for conception.
