Main Diagnosis
Peptic ulcer (ICD-10 code: K27.4). This is a condition associated with discontinuation in
the inner lining of the GI system as a result of secretion of gastric acid (Malik et al., 2019). Most
cases of peptic ulcers are associated with
Helicobacter pylori
infection and medicines. While
some patients with peptic ulcers are asymptomatic, those found to be symptomatic often show
epigastric pain, bloating, early satiety, nausea, and abdominal fullness (Kevitt et al., 2019). The
rationale for this diagnosis is the patient’s symptoms, particularly abdominal fullness, early
satiety, and pain in the epigastric region.
Differential diagnosis (
minimum 3,
only differential diagnoses with CD-10 code, no
explanation of each one needed)
Dyspepsia (ICD 10 code: K30)
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (ICD-10 code: K21.9)
Gastritis (ICD- 10 code: K29.70)
PLAN:
Labs and Diagnostic Test to be ordered (if applicable)
Complete blood count to check for Leukocytosis. Results: Postive.
Stool antigen test for H. pylori. Results: Positive.
Upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. Results: Stomach ulcer present.
Pharmacological treatment:
Pantoprazole 40 mg 3 times daily for 7 days.
Amoxicillin 1,000 mg twice daily for 7 days.
Clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily for 7 days.
Advil 400 mg after every 4-6 hours as needed for pain.
Non-Pharmacologic treatment
:
The patent should avoid junk food, especially deep-fried and processed foods, and avoid
acidic foods and drinks, which increase acid production or irritate the stomach lining,
such as carbonated beverages, alcohol, and coffee.
Drinking plenty of water (at least 8 glasses).
Education (
provide the most relevant ones tailored to your patient)
Teaching the patient about maintaining a healthy diet including plenty of fruits,
vegetables, and fiber foods, and not to take any meals that cause discomfort to them
(Kevitt et al., 2019).
Teaching the patent to adhere to treatment regimen as prescribed, even when the
symptoms go away.
Pt. advised to avoid carbonated or acidic drinks.
The patient should avoid alcohol at all.
