Q

Out of the 3, what is most common?
What is the most lethal?

A

Hemorrhage
Perforation

20
Q

Why is perforation so lethal from the drug therapy complication?
Causing?
Intensity will amount to?

A

GI contents will spill into the peripheral cavity
Causing
Suddenly severe abdominal pain; going to the back and shoulders with no relief of food or antacids

Bowl sounds become absent ; nausea and vomiting
Respiratory shallow
Pulse increase & weak

Intensity will amount to duration of spillage

21
Q

Perforation; the belly will be rigidly like and that is?
Rigid, board like abdomen
We need surgery!!

A

Peritinistisis

22
Q

If perforation isn’t untreated you will get what within 6-12 hours?

A

Bacterial peritonitis

23
Q

Your immediate focus with perforation in peptic ulcer is to?

A

Stop the spillage and restore blood volume

24
Q

What will we do for perforation? (5)

A

NGT for aspiration and gastric suppression
IV fluids and blood
Central line

Small - self sealing
Large - surgery & closure

25
Q

Gastric outlet obstruction, what is going to happen for peptic ulcer patients?

A

Stomach fills and dilated causing discomfort and pain ; worse at end of day and may be visibility dilated

Belching and vomiting ( protective ) may provide some relief ; constiplayion & anorexia

26
Q

Gastric outlet obstruction manifestations ? (4)

A

Edema
Inflammation
Pylorospams
Scar tissue obstruction in distal stomach & duodenum

27
Q

Treatment of gastric outlet obstruction? (4)

Decompress with NGI
PPI or H2
Pain management
Fluid and electrolytes replacement
Surgery & ballon dilation

28
Q

Nursing management for peptic ulcers are? (2)

A

Ulcerogenic drugs
Teach to report gastric distress symptoms to HCP

29
Q

Acute care for peptic ulcers are? (7)

A

NPO
NGT
IV FLUIDS
monitor for shock
Gastric content analysis : check ph, blood or bile
Monitor labs
Manage pain & anxiety ; restful environment

30
Q

Gerontologic considerations PUD (4)

A

increase morbidity & mortality
Frequent use of NSAIDS ( arthritis)
First symptom may be GI bleed or decrease HCT
Treatment plan is similar with emphasis in teaching and preventing

31
Q

Upper GI blessing
Hemaremesis
What is it?

A

Bloody vomits
Coffee ground contact with HCI acid ; digested blood

32
Q

Upper gi bleed Melena means?

A

Black
Tarry stools

33
Q

What is occult?

A

A guaiac test that detects blood in gastric secretions, vomitus and stool

34
Q

What causes blood stools? (4)

Black licorice
Bleeding ulcers
Pepto bismol
Mallory weiss tear

35
Q

What else causes upper gi bleeding ? (4)
