Answer to Question 1

 Orthopedic
 Abnormalities affecting feet, legs, hips
 Slipped capital femoral epiphysis
 Blount's disease (bowing of lower legs & tibial tortion)
 Neurological
 Pseudotumor cerebri (increased pressure in skull)
 Recurrent headaches
 Pulmonary
 Asthma
 Sleep disorders
 Sleep apnea
 Gastrointestinal
 Cholecystitis
 Hepatic steatosis
 Gallstones
 Endocrine
 Type 2 DM
 Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
 Hirsutism
 Acne
 Acanthosis nigricans
 Early puberty & menarche
 Psychological
 Low self-esteem
 Depression
 Peer rejection
 Cardiovascular
 Hypertension
 Hyperlipidemia

Answer to Question 2

 High BUN
 High osmolality
 Poor skin turgor/dry skin
 Elevated heart rate
 Low blood pressure (90/70 mmHg)
 High hematocrit
 High specific gravity
 Net I/O of +2140 mL
 Mitch's precipitating illness that is causing vomiting along with his uncontrolled diabetes (since Mitch is not taking his glucose-lowering medications) are probably the biggest contributors to HHS.
- Vomiting contributes to fluid loss and a decrease in fluid intake, which contribute to dehydration.
 Osmotic diuresis from HHS also contributed to dehydration, as electrolytes are lost via urine, as indicated by a low serum sodium level.
