You are the nurse caring for Mr. Noah Poupe. He is day 3 post-op from abdominal surgery and has experienced N/V without relief, despite receiving anti-emetics. Since surgery he has no reports of flatus. His last BM was 4 days before surgery. This morning he had an NG tube in place for gastric decompression, and his NG tube is hooked up to low-intermittent suction. Mr. Poupe also has an NPO diet ordered.
Miss Pho is a 25-year-old female who was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of dehydration secondary to a Crohn’s flare-up. (Crohn’s Disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestines). Her skin is pale, her mucous membranes are dry, and her skin turgor is poor. Miss Pho reports increasing bouts of diarrhea along abdominal pain and weakness.
Because Miss Pho is unable to tolerate PO fluids, IV fluids are ordered. The surgeon has come to discuss bowel diversion options with Miss Pho, as this is her seventh Crohn’s flare-up in the past year.
