Case Study

While you are working as a nurse on a GI/GU floor, you receive a call from your affiliate

outpatient clinic notifying you of a direct admission, ETA (estimated time of arrival) 60 minutes.

She gives you the following information: A.G. is an 87-year-old woman with a 3-day history of

intermittent abdominal pain, abdominal bloating, and N/V. A.G. moved from Italy to join her

grandson and his family only 2 months ago and she speaks very little English. All information

was obtained through her grandson.

PMH: colectomy for colon CA 6 years ago, hernia repair 2 years ago. No hx of CAD, DM,

or pulmonary disease. She takes only ibuprofen occasionally for mild arthritis. Allergies

include sulfa drugs and meperidine.

A.G.’s tentative diagnosis is small bowel obstruction (SBO). A.G. is being admitted to your floor

for diagnostic work-up. Her VS are stable, she has an IV of D5 1⁄2 NS with 20 mEq KCl at 100

mL/h, and 3 L O2 per NC.
