, Introduction:
Nursing involves an interrelationship of many people concerned with a
client’s responses to potential or actual problems. Health is changing, evolving
concept that is basic to nursing. For centuries, the concept of disease was the
yardstick by which was measured. Now there is an increasing emphasis on
health and wellness. Most people want to be healthy and feel a sense of loss
when they are not.
In the case of our patient who is suffering from acute gastroenteritis (AGE)
the etiology is to determine, it is said that unlike other abdominal disorder, AGE is
the most occurring abdominal dysfunction especially among the children. It is
most often results from any non-inflammatory or inflammatory infection of the
colon or either in the upper part of the small bowel. It can range from mild
dysfunction to severe complication, and the most common is dehydration due to
diarrheal reaction of the body.
. Usually this is caused by an infection,[2] but this is not always the case. It
usually is of acute onset, normally lasting less than 10 days and self-limiting.
Sometimes it is referred to simply as 'gastro'. It is often called the stomach flu or
gastric flu even though it is not related to influenza.
Bacterial gastroenteritis is frequently a result of poor sanitation, the lack of
safe drinking water, or contaminated food-conditions common in developing
nations. Natural or man-made disasters can make underlying problems in
sanitation and food safety worse. In developed nations, the modern food
production system potentially exposes millions of people to disease-causing
bacteria through its intensive production and distribution methods. Common
types of bacterial gastroenteritis can be linked
to Salmonella andCampylobacter bacteria; however, Escherichia coli 0157
and Listeria monocytogenes are creating increased concern in developed
nations. Cholera and Shigella remain two diseases of great concern in

, developing countries, and research to develop long-term vaccines against them
is underway.
Non-bacterial gastroenteritis is a syndrome that affects a broad
segment of the population throughout the world. Several studies have
proved that causative agents could be established only in about 30%
of cases[3] and it leads to the suggestion that the virus may be the
aetiological agent. Rota virus has been reported as the commonest
cause of acute non-bacterial diarrhoeal illness.[1] Therefore this study
was undertaken to find out the incidence of Rota virus in acute
diarrhoea cases.
As an NCM501202 students, this care study helps us not just to pass this
said requirement but also to evaluate our efficacy upon rendering our services in
the optimum capacity or the ability to care to a patient suffering this kind of
illness. This study also provide information on actual handling, caring and an
overview of the patients nutritional status and dietary management with acute
gastroenteritis
Objectives of the study
: A case study is designed to determine health problems or possible
health threats arising in a specific client. As student nurses, this would serve as a
tool for our training ground from what we had learned in classroom discussions
and be able to apply these in community setting such as this case.
This case study focuses to accomplish the following objectives on
hypertension:
1. To ascertain the content on the nursing assessment, diagnosis, planning,
implementation, and evaluation for these specific disease conditions;
2. To comprehend on the underlying causes and health history on our
client’s medical diagnosis upon admission;
3. To compare & contrast the ideal and actual nursing care management for
these specific disease conditions.
