Evaluate the following four individuals presenting to the gynecology clinic for evaluation of absent menses. Pair their distinct physical, historical, and laboratory findings with the correct pathophysiologic diagnosis.

During morning rounds, a $64$-year-old woman is evaluated for a newly elevated temperature. She is currently on her sixth postoperative day following a low anterior resection with a primary colorectal anastomosis for rectal adenocarcinoma. Her postoperative course was initially uncomplicated, and a transurethral bladder catheter was removed $3$ days ago. Over the past $24$ hours, the patient has developed suprapubic pressure, frequent voiding of small urine volumes, and three episodes of loose, watery stool.

Her temperature is $38.7^\circ\text{C}$ ($101.7^\circ\text{F}$), blood pressure is $122/78$ mmHg, pulse is $110$/min, and respirations are $18$/min. Physical examination reveals a dry and intact midline laparotomy incision with no surrounding erythema or fluctuance. Palpation of the lower abdomen elicits moderate deep tenderness, but there is no involuntary guarding or rebound tenderness.

Laboratory results are as follows:
Leukocyte count: $16,500/\text{mm}^3$
Urinalysis:
Color: Yellow
Appearance: Cloudy
Specific gravity: $1.015$
Leukocyte esterase: Positive
Nitrites: Negative
WBCs: $30$-$40$/hpf
Bacteria: None

A 14-day-old male infant is evaluated in the neonatal intensive care unit for new-onset feeding intolerance, abdominal distension, and lethargy. The infant was born prematurely at 28 weeks gestation and has been receiving advanced enteral formula feeds. Current vital signs reveal a temperature of $35.2^\circ\text{C}$ ($95.4^\circ\text{F}$), pulse of $175/\text{min}$, respirations of $65/\text{min}$, and blood pressure of $45/25\text{ mm Hg}$. Physical examination demonstrates a markedly distended, tense, and visibly erythematous abdomen with absent bowel sounds. Capillary refill time is 4 seconds. Arterial blood gas analysis on room air shows a pH of 7.15, $p\text{CO}_2$ of $35\text{ mm Hg}$, and $\text{HCO}_3^-$ of $12\text{ mEq/L}$. An anteroposterior abdominal radiograph demonstrates extensive pneumatosis intestinalis and a distinct radiolucency over the liver shadow, indicating free intraperitoneal air. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in the management of this patient?

Seeking medical care for an unexpected return of vaginal bleeding, a 71-year-old retired teacher arrives at the gynecology office. She reports noticing red spotting on her undergarments and toilet tissue over the past two weeks. The patient transitioned through menopause 20 years ago and has not experienced any vaginal bleeding since. Her past medical history is significant for well-controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus, essential hypertension, and obesity. Current medications include metformin and lisinopril. On physical examination, her blood pressure is $138/82 \text{ mmHg}$, and her body mass index is $33 \text{ kg/m}^2$. Speculum examination shows pale, dry vaginal walls without lacerations, but a small pool of dark blood is visible at the posterior fornix. Bimanual examination reveals a mobile, non-tender, anteverted uterus that is normal in size for her age. A transvaginal ultrasound is performed in the office, demonstrating an endometrial thickness of $11 \text{ mm}$ with cystic changes. The adnexa are unremarkable bilaterally. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in the clinical management of this patient?

A 24-year-old woman returns to the clinic to review laboratory results. Three days ago, she presented with new-onset dyspareunia and an increased yellowish vaginal discharge. At that time, her temperature was 37.1°C (98.8°F), blood pressure was 112/70 mm Hg, and pulse was 76/min. Pelvic examination revealed a markedly friable cervix with mucopurulent exudate, but no cervical motion or adnexal tenderness. A cervical swab was sent for testing, and the patient opted to defer empiric antibiotic therapy until a definitive diagnosis was made. Today, her nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) results return positive for *Neisseria gonorrhoeae* and negative for *Chlamydia trachomatis*. Her medical history is significant for a severe allergic reaction to ceftriaxone, characterized by hypotension and respiratory distress requiring epinephrine. Based on current guidelines, which of the following is the most appropriate pharmacotherapy for this patient?

A $10$-week-old female infant is brought to the pediatric emergency department by her parents due to severe spells of coughing. The mother reports that the infant had a runny nose, mild cough, and tactile fever for about a week. Over the past $5$ days, the cough has worsened significantly, occurring in sudden, rapid bursts. During these episodes, the infant's face turns red, and she makes a high-pitched "whooping" sound when she finally catches her breath. She has vomited her formula after several of these coughing spells. The infant has not received any routine immunizations because the family recently immigrated. Vital signs between episodes are temperature $37.1^\circ\text{C}$ ($98.8^\circ\text{F}$), pulse $140$/min, and respirations $40$/min. Physical examination between coughing spells shows a well-appearing infant with clear lungs on auscultation. Laboratory studies reveal a leukocyte count of $24,000/\text{mm}^3$ with $72\%$ lymphocytes. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in management?

A 24-year-old nulliparous patient presents to the labor unit at 39 weeks and 4 days of gestation with painful uterine contractions. Her prenatal course was unremarkable. On admission, her cervical examination demonstrates 5 cm of dilation, 90% effacement, and -1 station. Two hours later, she requests neuraxial analgesia, and a continuous epidural infusion is successfully initiated. Shortly after the procedure, the patient complains of dizziness and nausea. Her blood pressure drops to 80/45 mm Hg from a baseline of 118/74 mm Hg, and her heart rate increases to 112/min. Concurrently, the continuous fetal monitor demonstrates a sudden decrease in the fetal heart rate baseline from 145/min to 85/min, which persists for 4 minutes with minimal variability. The nursing staff immediately places the patient in the left lateral decubitus position and administers a rapid intravenous bolus of isotonic crystalloid, but her blood pressure only marginally improves to 84/48 mm Hg. The fetal heart rate remains at 85/min. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in the management of this patient?

A 5-year-old girl with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) comes to the hematology-oncology clinic with her father for a routine visit.
