Study Notes
- Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders involve a comprehensive assessment process
- This assessment includes gathering the patient's history and performing a physical examination
- The information gathered will help healthcare professionals diagnose and manage GI conditions effectively
History
- A thorough history is crucial for identifying potential GI issues
- Includes details about the current issue, symptoms, family history, and social history
Current Issue
- Details regarding the patient's primary reason for seeking medical attention should be collected
- Important to determine the onset, duration, and progression of the current issue
- Specific questions should be asked regarding what makes the issue better or worse
Symptoms
- Focuses on the patient's experienced symptoms
- Should include detailed questions about abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, and any other relevant complaints
Family History
- Involves gathering information about any family history of GI disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), colorectal cancer, or celiac disease
- This helps identify potential genetic predispositions or familial patterns
Social History
- Addresses lifestyle factors that can impact GI health
- Smoking, alcohol consumption, dietary habits, stress levels, and medication use should be discussed and noted
- These factors can contribute to or exacerbate GI symptoms
GI Assessment
- The GI assessment involves inspection, auscultation, and palpation techniques
- These components are essential for evaluating the patient's abdominal region
Inspection
- Involves visually examining the abdomen for any abnormalities
- Contour, symmetry, skin changes (scars, striae, or distension should be noted
- Any visible pulsations or masses should be recorded
Auscultation
- Auscultation is performed by listening to bowel sounds in all four quadrants of the abdomen
- Characteristics such as presence, frequency, and intensity of bowel sounds are noted
- Absent or abnormal bowel sounds may indicate underlying GI pathology
Palpation
- Involves gently pressing on the abdomen to assess for tenderness, masses, or organomegaly
- Light palpation is performed first to identify areas of discomfort or guarding
- Deep palpation is then used to evaluate abdominal organs and detect any masses or abnormalities
