Assessment: Penny is awake, alert, and oriented x3. Reports lower abdominal pain x 2 days. Rates her pain a 6/10, but states it is sometimes a 10/10. +nausea, denies vomiting. Physical examination finds lungs clear bilaterally and heart sounds regular. +bowel sounds x 4 quadrants. Abdomen tender to palpation. Slightest touch causes her to wince with pain. During your physical examination, you notice bruises on her arms and back. Further questioning finds burning with urination. Last bowel movement was prior to arrival. She states frequent diarrhea d/t her use of laxatives as a way to lose weight. She is due to start her next menstrual cycle next week. VS: T-37.6 BP-102/54 HR-105 RR-22 Height 5’4” Weight 100 lbs.
Social history: Penny currently lives with her parents and attends school full-time at the local community college. She is still covered under her father’s insurance plan. +smokes 2-3 cigarettes/day and admits to marijuana use when someone offers her some. You ask her if she is sexually active and she tells you she started using dating apps about 3 months ago and she “has been having a lot of fun”. She reports many new dates over the last few weeks and “feels obligated” to go home with them after the date. You question her about unprotected sex and she admits “if the guy doesn’t use a condom, I don’t say anything about it”.
Pelvic exam: Pelvic examination reveals purulent material pooled in the vaginal vault, which appears to be coming from the cervix. The physician also notes red, friable cervical ectopy. There is also a distinct odor. The vaginal drainage is swabbed and sent to microbiology for culture. You prepare a wet mount for the physician to look for trichomoniasis.

Mrs. Johnson is a 70-year-old woman who had a stroke less than a year ago. Mrs. Johnson is alert and oriented. She feels the sensation to void but right-sided weakness prevents her from always being able to get to the bathroom in time. For this reason, she wears incontinence undergarments. Mrs. Johnson’s daughter, Amy stops by twice each day to check on her and prepare meals for her. There are times when Mrs. Johnson is incontinent and remains in a wet undergarment until Amy comes to visit.
While assisting Mrs. Johnson in the bathroom, Amy notices that Mrs. Johnson’s coccyx and perineal area are reddened and excoriated. Amy learns that Mrs. Johnson sometimes sits in a wet undergarment until she arrives. Mrs. Johnson explains, “I know I am wet. It is just easier to wait for you to get here than to try and change the undergarment myself.” Amy is concerned. She calls a local visiting nurses association to get some information about how to manage Mrs. Johnson’s incontinence and asks if there is any skin therapy to reduce the redness.
