Case Study: Abdominal Assessment and Crohn’s Disease.
You are taking care of a 37 year old male with Crohn’s disease.
This is a new diagnosis for him, after months of weight loss,
fever, and diarrhea. Considering this please address the following
prompts in your discussion: Using the Library resources, pick one
assessment finding you are likely to see during your examination of
this patient.
Examples could be, but not limited to, pain, alteration in
nutrition, a specific lab alteration (hypokalemia, low H & H,
etc)
How does this finding compare to what you would find in a normal
adult male exam?
Explain the pathophysiology of this finding.
Discuss the specific nursing assessment related to the selected
alteration.
Discuss the nursing care you would implement to promote
health.
