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.

1. What does the term “gastric decompression” mean? How does an NG tube help assist with this?

2. Name one nutritional and bowel concern for Mr. Poupe.

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.

1. What are the two main types of bowel diversions included in this week’s learning outcomes?

2. Compare and contrast how each type of bowel diversion can affect a patient’s nutritional status and bowel elimination.

You are the nurse taking care of Mr. Case, a 75-year-old patient newly diagnosed with colon cancer. Mr. Case’s pain has been severe, and he has been taking narcotics for pain management. He feels weak and tired, has no energy or appetite, and is unable to keep his weight up. Mr. Case has had great difficulty moving his bowels; when he does, it is very painful. He is oozing a small amount of stool from his rectum. Mr. Case is admitted to the hospital for fecal impaction. He tells you, “Nobody told me I would get constipated. It’s been almost a week and it hurts so bad. In the future, I am going to just deal with the pain rather than take the pain meds.”

1. Identify three factors affecting Mr. Case’s bowel elimination.

2. Identify three strategies you can recommend to Mr. Case to treat his constipation and prevent it from occurring again.

Please answer the following questions: What are your concerns or fears about mental health nursing in general? Are you interested in mental health nursing, or do you approach the topic with some anxiety? What do you feel are essential aspects of a good nurse-client relationship? Please include an example of how you established good rapport and a good professional relationship with a patient in the work or clinical setting. What nonverbal and verbal techniques did you use in this relationship?

Cindy Newman is a new nurse manager of an 85-bed medical-surgical unit in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She has been asked by the vice president of nursing to chair the policy and procedure committee for the nursing division. The vice president warns her, “This committee is a disorderly, unhappy bunch. You’ll find they’re hard to control and hard to please. We’ve chosen you as the new leader because you’re very upbeat. We have hopes that you can turn this committee around.”

Nurse Newman is excited and asks the nursing division secretary for a list of names of those who serve on the committee, the scheduled meeting times, and the room where the meeting is held. She discovers that the next meeting is scheduled for 2 weeks from now. Nurse Newman happily plans her schedule to be at the meeting on time. On the day of the meeting, she arrives at the assigned room 5 minutes early and finds the room a mess, with chairs everywhere. The room has no chalk or flip chart. Members arrive and begin mumbling.

Nurse Newman asks everyone to help arrange the room, and the committee spends the next 10 minutes getting the seating arranged. Jon Nage, a nurse, asks Nurse Newman where the coffee and donuts are, and she replies that she did not know that it was her job to arrange for refreshments. Jack Belen, a pharmacist, asks for a copy of the agenda because he did not find one in his box. Nurse Newman says she did not send one. She was interested in finding out what items should be covered at the meeting by getting the group’s input. Many members start mumbling that their units are busy, and they cannot afford to waste time. One woman looks at Nurse Newman and says, “Well, I guess some things are just never going to change, new leader or not.”

1. What tasks did Nurse Newman do that were advantageous? What tasks did she neglect that would have assisted a positive group environment?
2. Nurse Newman is told she was chosen because she is upbeat and the group is such an unhappy one. Obviously, being upbeat and friendly is not enough. What might Nurse Newman need to do as the first order of business?
