straining with defecation is to
constipation
diarrhea is tx with
4
- fluid restoration
- antimotility meds
- water absorbent meds
- tx of causal factors
large-volume diarrhea is caused by
excessive amounts of water or secretions or both in the intestines
slow transit is to
constipation
associated with malabsorption syndromes (poop)
diarrhea
hard stools is to
constipation
lower GI bleeding areas
4

- ileum
- colon
- rectum
the forceful emptying of the stomach and intestinal contents through the mouth
vomiting
nausea
subjective experience that is associated with a number of conditions
GI bleeding types
3
- upper GI
- lower GI
- occult
major mechanisms of diarrhea include
3
- osmotic diarrhea
- secretory diarrhea
- motility diarrhea
esophagus bleeding is to
upper GI bleeding
stomach bleeding is to
upper GI bleeding
manual maneuvers to facilitate stool evacuation is to
constipation
volume of feces is not increased, usually results from excessive intestinal motility
small volume diarrhea
projectile vomiting
spontaneous vomiting that does not follow nausea or retching
excessive amounts of water or secretions or both in the intestines
large volume diarrhea
GI bleeding physiologic response depends on
2
- rate
2. amount of blood loss
hypersalivation and tachycardia are sx of
vomiting
ab pain types
3
- parietal pain
- visceral pain
- referred pain
anorexia
lack of a desire to eat despite physiologic stimuli that would normally produce hunger
duodenum bleeding is to
upper GI bleeding
jejunum bleeding is to
lower GI
common sx of vomiting
2
- hypersalivation
2. tachycardia
constipation manifestations include
5
- straining with defecation
- hard stools
- sensation of incomplete emptying
- manual maneuvers to facilitate stool evacuation
- <3 bowel movements a wk
ab pain is usually associated with

tissue injury and inflammation
diarrhea systemic effects include
3
- dehydration
- electrolyte imbalance
- weight loss
rectum bleeding is to
lower GI
fewer than three bowel movements per week is to

- ischemic
constipation primary condition
3
- normal transit (functional)
- slow transit
- pelvic floor or outlet dysfunction

volume of feces is not increased, usually results from excessive intestinal motility
secondary constipation can be caused by
