27
What is the drug therapy for bleeding due to ulceration?
Epinephrine = produces tissue edema= pressure on bleeding source (usually combines with other therapy)
28
Sandostatin (octreotide) or somastatin
used for upper GI bleed - reduces blood flow to the GI organs and acid secretion
29
S/SX GI bleed pt (same as for shock)
Low BP Rapid weak pulse Increased thirst cold clammy skin restlessness / anxiety (won't be able to perfuse tissues) altered LOC
30
urine specific gravity value
normal (1.005-1.025)
31
if NG tube is inserted:
keep in proper position (GI aspirate should be acidic) +make sure not in the lung+ observe aspirate for blood effectiveness of gastric lavage is questionable
32
DT symptoms
agitation uncontrolled shaking sweating vivid hallucinations
33
black tarry stools are caused by:
occur with slow bleeding from stomach
34
IBD inflammatory bowel disease
Chrohn's ulcerative colitis
35
IBD
periods of remission/exacerbation exact cause unknown no "real" cure
36
ulcerative colitis
prob of colon and rectum
37
Chrohn's disease
upper small bowel - autoimmune disease - trigger- inflammatory mediators diet , hygeine, stress, smoking, NSAIDS, genetics
38
Chrohn's sX
diarhhea bloody stool weight loss (no absorptioin) abdominal pain fatigue
39
GI tract complications of IBD
hemorrahge strictures perforation=peritonitis fistulas
40
\*\*peritonitis sx
pain high fever rigid boardlike hard washboard ab
41
Chrohn's Symptoms
cramping , diarrhea, rectal bleeding , fever, weight loss especially if small bowel is involved since it absorbs nutrients. inflammation involves entire bowel wall
42
colitis
disease of mucosal layer of colon and rectum
43
colitis symptoms
fever rapid weight loss \>10% anemia dehydration tachycardia
44
colitis labs
CBC, WBC, serum electrolyte levels serum protein ESR (sed rate= watch to see how long it takes blood to separate) C reactive protein stool culture - pus, blood, mucus WBC, RBC imaging studies (KUB) kidney, urinary, bladder endoscopy
45
colitis goal of treatment
rest the bowel control inflammation (steroids?) combat infection correct malnutrition (remember- they need to rest bowel= NPO!) alleviate stress relieve symptoms improve quality of life
46
drug therapy colitis
corticosteroids antimicrobials aminosalicylates immunosuppressant biologic targeted therapy = (Humira?) goals of drug treatment are to induce and maintain remission
47
colitis nutritional therapy
avoid bulk in diet avoid large bulky meals, cereal, grains= give good protein sources may be NPO or only allowed to have liquids - no lactose
48
meds contributing to nutritional prob for colitis pt
sulfasalazine corticosteroids
49
\*\*different diets NEED TO LOOK UP!!! TEST ???
clear liquids to full
50
colitis diet
high protein , low bulk
51
\*\*\*Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
is a functional GI disorder characterized by abdominal pain and altered bowel habits in the absence of a specific and unique organic pathology. intermittent abdominal pain or discomfort stool pattern irregularities. Symptoms may occur for years more frequent among women
52
IBS
The predominant clinical manifestations are altered bowel habits, abdominal pain and abdominal distention often people with PTSD, depression, anxiety, panic disorder
53
Prob NOT associated with IBS
NOT IBS- look at other issues if these symptoms are present : anemia fever persistent diarrhea rectal bleeding severe constipation weight loss basically a diagnosis is made by exclusion
54
pancreatitis most common in?
middle age people african american
55
pain from pancreatitis caused by
basically pancrease digesting itself autodigestion of pancreas
56
most common causes for bowel obstruction
The most common are adhesions, hernias, cancers, and certain medicines
57
types of bowel obstruction
mechanical - something physically blocking it non mechanical- tissues not working right to get adequate blood supply to muscle for peristalsis pseudo-mechanical
58
bowel obstructions
accumulation of intestinal contents proximal to obstruction = reduced fluid absorption increased cap permeability third spacing
59
lower intestine bowel obstruction
no gas abdominal distension new onset constipation normal bowel sounds until late in the game
60
small bowel obstruction
colicky ab pain very light to absent bowel sounds n/v abdominal distension fecal odor to breath fecal emesis LATER.. decresed flatus, constipation
61
how to diagnose bowel obstruction
pt history physical exam imaging endoscopy lab study
62
. An 85-year-old woman seen in the primary care provider's office for a well check complains of difficulty swallowing. What common effect of aging should the nurse assess for as a possible cause?

. A 32-year-old female with a 12-year history of ulcerative colitis
67
The nurse is caring for a 55-year-old man patient with acute pancreatitis resulting from gallstones. Which clinical manifestation would the nurse expect the patient to exhibit?
Left upper abdominal pain
68

• Describe any measures used to treat GI symptoms such as diarrhea or vomiting. • Do you smoke?\* Do you drink alcohol?\* • Are you exposed to any chemicals on a regular basis?\* Have you been exposed in the past?\* • Have you recently traveled outside the United States?\*
69
What questions would we ask during a nutritional assessment?
• Describe your usual daily food and fluid intake. • Do you take any supplemental vitamins or minerals?\* • Have you experienced any changes in appetite or food tolerance?\* • Has there been a weight change in the past 6-12 mo?\* • Are you allergic to any foods?\*
70
what questions would we ask a GI pt regarding elimination?
• Describe the frequency and time of day you have bowel movements. What is the consistency of the bowel movement? • Do you use laxatives or enemas?\* If so, how often? • Have there been any recent changes in your bowel pattern?\* • Describe any skin problems caused by GI problems. • Do you need any assistive equipment, such as ostomy equipment, raised toilet seat, commode?
