Apply nursing process theory and make a planning about this situation:
Transcribed Image Text:Gina is a 19-year old nursing student in Davao. She is known in
school as an academic achiever and top student, and is often seen
reading books. She has a sensitive personality, often having meaningless
grudges, low self-esteem on her appearance, and feelings of inadequacy
over the shallowest things. She cannot communicate her thoughts well to
her classmates, friends and family, which leaves them guessing on her
real feelings. Some got tired of understanding her and simply did not care
anymore.
One day, the client has been diagnosed with gastric ulcer
(damage to the stomach wall) after coming to the emergency room of a
public hospital. She showed signs of vomiting and severe stomach pain
measuring 8 out of 10 on the pain scale, appearing thin, pale and weak.
She was weighed, and it was discovered that her weight is not
appropriate for her age and height. Before arriving at the hospital, the
client was explaining to the ER nurse that she has a dietary pattern of
eating twice a day with little breakfast, sometimes even without lunch, for
she spends a lot of time at the library. Her twenty-four dietary intake is
made up of meats, rice, vegetables and drinking sodas every time she
feels thirsty. Prior to admission, she has not eaten for 8 hours. She was
taken to the medical-surgical ward for observation, while different
diagnostic tests was ordered by the physician and carried by the nurses.
A staff nurse was tasked to interview Gina, complete her Patient History
and give her nursing care. The patient at first did not want anything to do
with the nurse, saying "ayos lang po talaga ako ate", and "wala naman
pong problema talaga"
