Question

Make an assessment both subjective and objective with this situation:

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"
