INTRODUCTION
Greetings, students!
The final course requirement in
MLS 121L (Inorganic and Organic Chemistry for Medical Laboratory Science
Laboratory) is a written output related to a case study. A case study is a story that is used as a teaching tool to demonstrate the application
of a theory or concept to a real-life situation (Hibbard,
2019).
In this requirement, you are going to
determine whether the line of action of an individual is correct or incorrect
based on the application of relevant organic chemistry concepts. Note that you
are required to write a seamless and intricate explanation to support your
answer in guiding a person’s line of thinking. The cases are selected based on
their relevance to everyday life and their relationship to your profession in
the medical laboratory science field or any health-related field. Chemistry, is
in fact, related to several situations such as pharmacologic agents, food and
environmental presentation (Chemistry LibreTexts).
This requirement is related to the
following objectives in your course syllabus:
CLO 9:
Relate organic compounds with their functional groups and nomenclature
CLO
10: Determine the properties
of organic compounds[PNA1]
CLO 11: Apply concepts of organic reactions in solving
associated problems
CLO12: Correlate some organic compounds with clinical
conditions[PNA2]
This
final requirement will challenge you to apply what you have learned in organic
chemistry and guide you in deciding which action is the most appropriate according
to your own experience.
Good luck!

[PNA1]E.g. Preparing 70% ethyl alcohol for hand rubbing is possible by
adding water to a certain amount of ethanol. This will only be possible if
ethanol is soluble in water. Is it soluble? Yes! Because of the presence –OH
fxnal groups that can form H-bonds with water molecules.
[PNA2]Remember how I provide examples in the MLS or health field? E.g.
methanol poisoning, the use of a urine strip test, those are examples of
applying chemistry concepts to clinical conditions and even their diagnosis
