Question

As healthcare professionals, you will be having conversations with other healthcare professionals. Using at least three medical terms, create a dialogue with your classmates about patients who are coming to the GI (Gastrointestinal) Clinic where you work. Underline the three terms. Ask questions about the patients, use treatments you have learned about, or procedures etc.

Use the following to get you started:

I was reviewing the charts of the patients who are coming in today and see that patient A is coming in for complaints of diarrhea; patient B is coming in for a follow up who has ascites; patient C has anorexia and patient D has diverticulosis.

When you repond to your classmates, be sure to put your responses in a question format.

Answer 1

Classmate1: I was reviewing the charts of the patients who are coming in today and see that patient A is coming in for complaints of diarrhea; patient B is coming in for a follow up who has ascites; patient C has anorexia and patient D has diverticulosis.

Myself: Is the loss of fluid under control for patient A? Is this the first time Patient A complaining of diarrhea? If not, is this happening because of IBS?

Does patient B suffer from liver cirrhosis or does he/she have a malignancy in the abdomen or something else? In the earlier visit, was paracentesis required?

For how long has patient C been anorexic? Has the patient visited a psych? how much weight loss as the patient suffered so far?

What has been the treatment history for patient D so far? Would you suggest surgery or will it be cured using antibiotics? Did you confirm the condition using CT imaging or was it path results?
