Part 3:
Jenny's Test Results
Based off your recommendation we ran additional tests on Jenny. It turns out that Jenny is a vegetarian and was not getting enough iron in her diet. Jenny began taking an iron supplement. After a few weeks, her headaches became less severe (Good work!).
In addition, Jenny was diagnosed with celiac disease a few years ago. She has ignored her gluten free diet (must be hard being a vegetarian and gluten free) causing her villi to be inflamed. She is now back on the diet and no longer reports severe stomach pain.
All her other symptoms have remained: Extreme fatigue, joint pain, difficulty swallowing, shortness of breath, chest pain and low grade fever.
Part 4:
Active Reading
(15 min)
Directions:
Actively read the article and make at least 6 annotations. (Highlights do not count). Annotations are connections to experiences/books/articles/ our case study and questions about the text.
Part 5:
Exit Ticket / Homework
Making Connections
Write a three paragraph essay that describes how the digestive, respiratory and circulatory normally work together to supply cells with the materials they need. Then describe how coronary artery disease could be causing some of Jenny's symptoms (shortness of breath, chest pain, extreme fatigue).
