Week 5 i Human Self- Reflection/Advanced Physical Assessment/ actual case study graded A+
The presentation of acute mid-abdominal pain, distention, nausea/vomiting, constipation, and inability to pass gas is consistent with a small bowel obstruction (SBO) (Bickley, et. al., 2021). Abdominal surgeries significantly increase the risk for a SBO secondary to post-surgical adhesions, so I reviewed the patient’s surgical history. She in fact had a hx of 2 prior abdominal surgeries including gallstone removal 15 years ago and female fibroid removal 2 years ago, therefor she had a significantly increased risk for developing a SBO.
