Gastritis- correct answer inflammation of the lining of the stomach
Acute vs chronic
Gastritis caused by- correct answer 1. Alcohol
2. Nsaids
3. Helicobacter pylori
4. Portal hypertension
5. Stress : burns, trauma, sepsis, multiorgan failure
6. Atrophic gastritis : vitamin b12 deficiency
SBO- correct answer Small Bowel Obstruction- small intestine becomes partially or
totally blocked
,Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD)- correct answer A break or ulceration in the protective
mucosal lining
Usually in the stomach, or duodenum
Sometimes in the esophagus
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome- correct answer hypersecretion of gastric acid that
produces peptic ulcers as a result of a non-beta-cell tumor of the pancreatic islets
PUD caused by- correct answer alcohol, nsaids, H pylori
Stress ulcers- correct answer gastric mucosal lesions that develop in patients who
are critically ill from trauma, shock, hemorrhage, sepsis, burns, acute respiratory
distress syndrome, major surgical procedures, or other severe illnesses
Duodenal ulcer- correct answer an ulcer, or erosion, in the wall of the duodenum of
the small intestine
Caused by H.Pylori, NSAIDS
,Gastric ulcer- correct answer ulcers tend to develop in the antral region of the
stomach, adjacent to the acid-secreting mucosa of the body
Gastric ulcer manifestations- correct answer •Pain generally high in epigastrium
•1-2 hours after meals
•"Burning" or "gaseous"
•Food aggravates pain if ulcer has eroded through gastric mucosa
Stress-related mucosal disease- correct answer Acute form of peptic ulcer that is
related to severe illness or major trauma
Ischemic ulcer- correct answer develops within hours of events such as hemorrhage,
multisystem trauma, severe burns, heart failure, or sepsis
Curling's ulcer- correct answer Acute gastric ulcer associated with severe burns
, Cushing ulcer- correct answer stress ulcer associated with severe head trauma or
brain surgery that results from decreased mucosal blood flow and hypersecretion of
acid caused by overstimulation of the vagal nuclei
Postgastrectomy Syndromes- correct answer -Group of signs and symptoms that
occur after gastric resection due to anatomical and functional changes.
-Dumping syndrome
-Alkaline reflux gastritis
-Afferent loop obstruction
-Diarrhea
-Weight loss
-Anemia
-Bone disorders
Dumping syndrome- correct answer Rapid emptying of gastric contents into small
intestines. Client experience ab pain, nausea, vomiting, explosive diarrhea, weakness,
dizziness, palpitations & tachycardia.
