Document Summary
Stuart k. johnson is sent from his pmd s office to rule out appendicitis. Subjective complaints of a patient with acute appendicitis are vague abdominal pain in the lower right quadrant, anorexia, and nausea (carman, 2016): describe your focused assessment of a patient with acute appendicitis. The assessment would focus on the abdominal area. Pain with palpatation is expected over the mcburney point in the lower right quadrant (carman, 2016): your patient with appendicitis was complaining of 8/10 pain and is restless. When you return with his prn pain medication, he reports that his pain is completely resolved. I would suspect that the patient just had gas and was able to pass the gas. Name 2 activities we can discuss with the patient to promote each safety issue. Examples of safety issues in the adolescent population are motor vehicles, bikes and skateboards, water safety, and sun exposure.
