Chapter 46: Upper Gastrointestinal Problems Flashcards
term that describes hot, bitter, or sour liquid coming into the throat or mouth
regurgitation
diseases such as __________________________ and other irritating risk factors, such as ____________, ______________, and ____________________ may lead to development of gastritis
autoimmune gastritis, endoscopy, NG tube, psychologic stress
(gastric, duodenal) ulcers more likely to cause obstruction
gastric
nine drugs that decrease lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure (five classes and four specific) (GERD and hiatal hernias)
anticholinergics, beta-adrenergic blockers, calcium channel blockers, nitrates, antidepressants
diazepam, morphine sulfate, progesterone, theophylline
emergency management of upper GI bleeding: patient will need these three lab studies
CBC, clotting studies, type and crossmatch
peptic ulcer disease teaching: report any of the following three things
increased nausea or vomiting
increased epigastric pain
bloody emesis or tarry stools
risk factors for NSAID-induced gastritis include being (male, female), this age group, history of _____________, ____________________ therapy, low-dose ______________, ________________ drugs, and _____________ diseases
female, >60 years, peptic ulcer disease, anticoagulant, aspirin, corticosteroid, chronic
five patients at increased risk for stress-related mucosal disease (SRMD)
critically ill, coagulopathy, liver disease, organ failure, renal replacement therapy
goal for managing upper GI bleeding with endoscopy
coagulate or thrombose bleed
severing of the vagus nerve; decreases gastric acid secretion
vagotomy
conservative management of hiatal hernias focuses on reducing _____________________
intraabdominal pressure
guaiac test that detects blood in gastric secretions, comitus, or stool
occult
in treating/managing perforation, notify _______, take frequent ______________, place on absolute _______ status, ________ management, insert __________ for aspiration and gastric decompression, give IV _______ and __________, and give the drug _____________________
HCP, vital signs, NPO, pain, NG tube, fluids, blood, broad spectrum antibiotics
GERD: avoid these three things
alcohol, caffeine, smoking
after history and physical, gold standard of diagnosing GERD
upper GI endoscopy (with biopsy)
to assess for dehydration and fluid and electrolyte balance in a patient with nausea and vomiting, monitor _____________ and ____________, ___________, and assess for dehydration ___________
intake, output, vital signs, manifestations
these three lab tests can be done to help diagnose peptic ulcer disease
CBC, liver enzymes, serum amylase
emesis with fecal odor (feces) and bile indicates this
obstruction below pylorus (hallmark sign of bowel obstruction)
laboratory tests for upper GI bleeding include CBC for ______________ and ____________; _______ for GI tract bacteria breakdown protein
hemoglobin, hematocrit, BUN
two factors that can contribute to hiatal hernias
structural changes (weakening of muscles in diaphragm around esophagogastric opening)
increased intraabdominal pressure (from obesity, pregnancy, ascites, tumors, intense physical exertion, heavy lifting)
the gerontologic population has an increased _____________ and ______________ with peptic ulcer disease
morbidity, mortality
peptic ulcer disease teaching: __________ can be related to PUD; learn and use management strategies
stress
supportive care for acute gastritis involves _______, _______ status, ___________, _______________ drugs, and monitoring for ___________
rest, NPO, IV fluids, antiemetic, dehydration
endoscopic therapy for upper GI bleeding: these are used to compress the vessel
clips or bands
