    INTRODUCTION

    Overview of the Case

    Acute Gastroenteritis is an infection of the bowel (intestines) that causes

    diarrhea and sometimes vomiting. Diarrhea and vomiting can cause the loss of

    important fluids and minerals the body needs (dehydration).

    Acute Gastroenteritis is more common in the winter and early spring. Most

    gastroenteritis is caused by a virus or one of several kinds of bacteria that get

    into the intestinal tract (bowels). Bacteria or viruses get to the intestinal tract by

    putting dirty hands, toys or other objects near or into the mouth. The most

    common symptoms are diarrhea (frequent loose, watery stools) lasting 2-3 days

    but usually not more than a week, nausea and vomiting lasting 1-2 days,

    abdominal/stomach pain and possibly, fever.

    b. Objective of the Study

    The objective of this study is to find a case relating to our concept fluid

    and electrolyte balance. Rule-out LBM and vomiting and later on diagnosed as

    positive for acute gastroenteritis was the condition of my patient PFC Omel

    Penar. As a nursing student, I have to do interventions for my patient and to

    provide care which is relevant to her condition. Considering that my patient

    needs systematic care to restore her fluids and electrolyte that is lost from her

    condition. And one goal is that to provide a good patient outcome and prevent

    conflicts to restore my patients normal state.

    In the case of my patient who is suffering from acute gastroenteritis (AGE)

    the etiology is to determine, it is most often results from any non-inflammatory or

    inflammatory infection of the colon or either in the upper part of the small bowel.

    3

    It can range from mild dysfunction to severe complication, and the most common

    is dehydration due to diarrheal reaction of the body.

    As an NCM501202 students, this care study helps us not just to pass this

    said requirement but also to evaluate our efficacy upon rendering our services in

    the optimum capacity or the ability to care to a patient suffering this kind of

    illness. These studies also provide information on actual handling, caring and an

    overview of the patients nutritional status and dietary management with acute

    gastroenteritis.

    c. Scope and Limitation of the Study

    Our concept is about Fluid and Electrolyte Balance. At Camp Evangelista

    Station Hospital, Cagayan de Oro City, I have to find a case which is relevant to

    the concept. At the Military Ward where I am assigned, there are cases of acute

    gastroenteritis and one of them is my patient PFC Omel Penar. For two days,

    from January 30-31, 2008, my duty time is limited from 7-3pm. On the first day I

    have assessed my patient and up to the last day of confinement of my patient

    and did some interventions like maintaining hydration of the patient and ways toreturn her normal bowel functioning. Questions were being answered by the

    patient. The actual nursing interventions were all carried out with the supervision

    of a clinical instructor and limited to those which were permitted or allowed by

    agency protocol. This study was completed altogether by both research using

    different references and actual hands-on exposure and interaction with the

    patient.

    DEVELOPMENTAL TASK

    Eriksons Psychosocial Development:

    My patient is under middle adulthood stage according to Erik Eriksons

    Psychosocial Development theory. According to his theory, Generativity is the

    concern of establishing and guiding the next generation. Simply having or

    wanting children doesn't achieve generativity.

    My patient is experiencing psychosocial crisis between Generativity vs.Stagnation, but because of evidently that he dont have his own family and work

    as a military to supply his financial needs, he was able to overcome this stage.

    Nurturing significance other or nurture close relationships; Management of career

    and own household; the patient does not meet the satisfaction within himself; he

    was trying to look for partners in life.

    Jean Piagets cognitive Development:

    According to this theory my patient is under the Formal Operational

    Stage (Adolescence and adulthood). In this stage, my patients intelligence is

    demonstrated through the logical use of symbols related to abstract concepts.

    Freud Psychosexual Development:

    In the genital stage, the clients energy once again focuses on his genitals,

    interest turns to heterosexual relationships. According to this theory our patient

    was not able to overcome this stage because he doesnt have a wife he was not

    fully complete the criterion in actualization of his needs. As he grows into a more

    7

    mature individual new crisis he will be experiencing but the past stages of

    development he was able to overcome them all and was not stagnated or fixated.

  • 8/8/2019 AGE (Final Care Study)

    12/25

    The human digestive system consists of a series of organs and structures that

    help break down food and absorb nutrients for use throughout the body. Food

    enters the digestive system through the mouth and passes through the

    esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and rectum. Other organs,

    such as the liver, further aid in the breakdown of food, absorption of nutrients,

    and elimination of indigestible materials from the body.

    Anatomy of the Stomach

    12

  • 8/8/2019 AGE (Final Care Study)

    13/25

    Located on the left side of the body, under the diaphragm, the stomach is a

    muscular, saclike organ that connects the esophagus and small intestine. Its

    main function is to break down food. Cells in the stomach lining secrete

    enzymes, hydrochloric acid, and other chemicals to continue the digestive

    process begun in the mouth and produce mucus to keep these substances from

    digesting the lining itself.

    Pathophysiology of the Gastroenteritis

    13

  • 8/8/2019 AGE (Final Care Study)

    14/25

    Definition: Gastroenteritis is the irritation and inflammation of the digestive tract.

    This condition may cause abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. Severe cases

    of gastroenteritis can result in dehydration. In such cases, fluid replacement is

    the primary factor in treatment. All ages and both sexes may be affected yet the

    most severe symptoms are experienced by infants and those individuals over

    sixty years old. The use of certain drugs such as aspirin, antibiotics or cortisone

    drugs may increase risk for this condition.

    Food poisoning, stress, excessive alcohol or tobacco use, viral infections, food

    allergies, improper diet, certain drugs, food consumed in foreign countries and

    intestinal parasites are all possible causes for this condition

    Gastroenteritis caused by viral infection or bacteria is easily passed from one

    person to another. Care should always be taken to wash the hands often,

    especially when preparing food and after bowel movements. Hand washing after

    bowel movements is important since the organism that causes this condition lives

    in the digestive tract.

    PROGNOSIS

    22

  • 8/8/2019 AGE (Final Care Study)

    23/25

    Patients with acute gastroenteritis usually progress especially when it is

    not yet to its mere complication. The rate of progression depends on the

    underlying diagnosis, on the successful implementation of secondary

    preventative measures, and on the individual patient. If the patient is untreated

    the prognosis becomes worst and poor.

    In the case of my patient, as he undergone tough treatment at Camp

    Evangelista Station Hospital, his prognosis is considered as good. As evidenced

    by tolerating slowly the abdominal pain and maintaining bowel movement in the

    whole duration of the treatment.

    EVALUATION

    23

  • 8/8/2019 AGE (Final Care Study)

    24/25

    At the end of my hospital duty, we as a student nurse were able to render

    care to my patient to help him resolve his problem regarding health. Through

    observing the patients status, we were able to identify some problems during our

    assessment. Because of a couple of interventions or health teachings applied

    and imparted to the patient, we were able to render his needs on his problem;

    alleviated pains felt by the patient due to the effects of the eye surgery and even

    have improved his sleeping/resting pattern.

    Patient was willing to pursue his medical therapy just to promote health

    and wellness for the betterment of his condition. During the treatment, the patient

    was able to developed or enhanced health awareness on his disease and with

    this knowledge instilled to his mind, he was then aware on how the disease was

    occur and what are the proper ways or interventions done just to minimize or

    prevent this disease from getting worst.

    We have also made the patient realized the importance of completing the

    course of therapy by taking the medicines prescribed or ordered to him by hisphysician. In addition, eating healthy or nutritious foods that were prescribed to

    him by the health providers was further been explained to him especially the

    benefits he will gain in eating these nutritious foods.

    In general, the patient was very cooperative to what health measures

    administered to him by the health providers.

    Moreover, these several interventions given to the patient made his body

    functions different than as before.
