Assignment: Digestive System
1) Richard is told by his family doctor that he is bleeding from either the colon or the rectum, and he should see a specialist as soon as possible. Which specialist should he go see?
•The specialist Richard should go visit to have an evaluation due to the predicaments he encounters with his colon & rectum is a proctologist generally diagnosing such areas also identifying symptoms occurring in the following organs: colon, rectum, & anus.

•Due to the symptoms Mrs. Wong experiences in her lower right abdominal quadrant as she awaits evaluation in the emergency room. It is necessary that the doctor surgically removes her appendix diagnosing Mrs. Wong with appendicitis.
3) Jose is brought to the emergency room complaining of a burning sensation in his chest, increased salivation, and difficulty in swallowing. He is having difficulty breathing and feels the presence of a "lump in his throat." The diagnosis is gastroesophageal reflux disease. Explain.
•Jose symptoms is derived from a disorder called Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurring in the digestive system with the consumption of food, irritating the esophagus generally causing notable clinical symptoms such as the following: vomiting, chronic cough, angina, & regurgitation immediately after the consumed food. Jose's experience of the lump in his throat is caused by esophageal sphincter pressure.

•The forty five year old patient is diagnosed with the progressive cirrhosis inflaming the liver along with the parenchymal cells. The plain symptoms is manifested primarily because of the augmentation of edema internally in the lower abdomen.
10) A 45-year-old patient was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of cirrhosis of the liver. The nurse is observing him closely for the possibility of gastrointestinal bleeding. Why is this considered a possible complication?
•Hypertension occurrence within the hepatic portal system generally restricts the movement of blood sequentially minimizing scar tissue. Clinical symptoms such as vomiting blood occurs because the flow of blood linking the veins are miniature in size transporting immeasurable quantities of blood from within the body.
I am now reporting to you from the patient’s femoral vein. I am headed north to her right lung. The femoral vein is one of the largest veins in the body. The ride has been smooth so far. I have been seeing many different types of cells go by my submarine window. I just saw an army of white blood cells headed the same way that I am. They most likely are headed towards the bacteria infestation in the right lung. I am also hearing the heart beat; it is making a LUB- DUB sound. I can also hear the blood flow; it is making sort of a swooshing noise. That noise is reminding me of the ocean! The right femoral vein is now turning into the external iliac vein; I am now by the urinary system and reproductive system. This is also known has the pelvic region. As we continue north the eternal iliac vein is now called the common iliac vein. As we continue on, the common iliac vein is now called the inferior vena cava. We are getting closer to the heart! We are in the abdomen of the body. There are diff...
A common condition that is associated with GERD and LES problems is having a hiatal hernia. A hiatal hernia is when you have a larger than normal opening in the diaphragm where the esophagus passes through. Since this opening is larger, the stomach begins to enter this opening. When you eat, the stomach and esophagus do not join as they were properly intended and cause malfunctioning of the LES. In some cases, food remains above the LES allowing it to easily travel back up the esophagus.
Try to imagine yourself, sitting at lunch, enjoying your sandwich and a few strawberries along the way. Once you are done your delicious meal, you take one last drink of orange juice and head to your next class. In a few minutes you are thinking about your upcoming visit to the mall. You've completely forgotten about that sandwich you had just ate. But it is still sitting in your stomach!! Now how does this work, how did your body absorb all that food? It all goes back to the digestive system.

Stomach: There was residual semi-digested food within the gastric antrum. There was deformity to the gastric anatomy likely due to his surgery. There was no obstruction to gastric outlet likely delayed emptying is functional. No gastric mucosal lesions were seen.
Chest auscultation reveals wheezes and decreased to absent breath sounds over the lower lung bases. Hyperresonance was noted upon percussion of the chest wall. Chest x-ray showed atelectasis in the lower lung bases. The patient has a cough with minimal amounts of clear sputum production.
An emergency department nurse is caring for a 44-year-old woman with LLQ abdominal pain and is brought to the emergency department by her husband. Explain what type of assessment is most critical for this patient, providing a rationale for your response. Discuss the questions the nurse would ask, prioritizing these questions from most concerning to least concerning. Use your Jensen (2014) text to support your rationale.
A 57-year-old female presents to her physician with changes in her bowel habits for the past few weeks. The patient reveals that she usually has soft bowel movements once a day. However, she has started passing pellet-like stools that alternate with loose stools. Her current symptoms are associated with sense of bloating and abdominal fullness. The patient denies seeing blood in her stool, weight loss, low-grade fever, a family history of colorectal cancer, or previous colon cancer screening.

Lina was lying in bed, with head of bed elevated at about 50 degrees. Awake and alert, making noises and yelling when BP is being taken.

She is not sure which ovary she still has remaining. She has also had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the past, as well. No history of kidney stones to her knowledge. She does have known diverticulosis based on her 2011 colonoscopy. She does not recall having pain like this in the past before. She has been using Advil, which she says does help some, but she thinks she is taking too much of it. She is using two or three tablets every three to four hours to help her with her

The digestive system is a very important system in the human body. It is a group of organs that work together to turn food into energy and nutrients in the entire body. The food that was chewed in a humans’ mouth now passes through a long tube that is inside of the body that is known as the alimentary canal. The alimentary canal is made of the oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestines, and large intestines. Those few things are not the only important accessories of the digestive system there is also the teeth, tongue, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.
B. i ask that you should think about these precautions and take them into thought
I was so clear about this because as I grew up listening to the discussion of my family regarding the health emergency as a 30 days old baby. My mother noticed a swelling in the left groin (an inguinal hernia) and rushed to a doctor, where they were
