D.E.S.

C8 Remember: Clinician judgment comes into play in deciding testing and treatment for PID.

C8 Remember: No specific lab study definitively diagnoses pelvic inflammatory disease (PID); diagnosis is dependent on history and physical examination.

C8 Remember: Most important in PID treatment is timely treatment to prevent complications.

C8 Remember: Partner treatment is necessary regarding PID, or reinfection will occur.

C8 Remember: All states permit providers to give a prescription or medications to their partners with limited exceptions according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; partner treatment is "not prohibited" in any state though potentially allowable in four states.

C8 Remember: PID treatment (typically antibiotics) should be started without the lab results.

C8 Remember: According to the Centers for Disease Control (2021) clinical improvement, as evidenced by, “defervescence; reduction in direct or rebound abdominal tenderness; and reduction in uterine, adnexal, and cervical motion tenderness” should occur within 3 days of treatment.

C8 Remember: If within 72 hours there is no clinical improvement further treatment or hospitalization should be considered for further evaluation.

C8 Remember: Many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can go unnoticed in men.

C8 Remember: If Ann completes treatment and her husband does not, she can become reinfected if the same sexual practices are followed.

C8 Remember: Treatment should be started despite not having STI testing results

C8 Remember: A delay in treatment could increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy and infertility by nearly three-fold

C8 Remember: Oral antibiotics can be prescribed to initiate treatment, but it will be important to encourage partners to seek screening for other STIs and follow up accordingly.

C8 Remember: Further, according to the 2021 CDC guidelines, the patient should be retested three months after treatment if the diagnosis is chlamydial or gonococcal.

C7 Remember: The etiology of stress incontinence is urethral hypermobility due to impaired support from pelvic floor and intrinsic sphincter deficiency secondary to pelvic floor trauma (Vasavada, et al., 2021).

C7 Remember: Aside from stress incontinence, be familiar with the various types of incontinence: functional, mixed, urge, overflow and transient (infection).

C7 Remember: Children also have incontinence, such as primary and nocturnal enuresis though urge incontinence can also occur in the pediatric population.

C6 Remember: Clozapine is mostly associated with hepatotoxicity and an asymptomatic rise in serum transaminase level is noticed in up to 60% of patients.

CG Remember: The increase in liver enzyme serum levels is often transient and asymptomatic.

Remember C6: Hepatitis C (HCV) causes chronic inflammation, which leads to injury to hepatocytes, fibrosis production, and eventually, loss of liver function.

Remember C6: Chronic hepatitis is more threatening than acute hepatitis because it this occurs gradually over time and often without symptoms until advanced disease.

Untreated GERD causes _________ (Inflammatory response to gastroesophageal reflux)

reflux esophagitis

Peptic ulcers are common causes of ________ stomach pain.

Burning

Involves colon, rectum and anus. Causes pain, diarrhea, and bloody stool (hematochezia).
