I. INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES

General Objectives:

Specific Objectives:
At the end of this study, we, the student nurses of this institution, will able to:
1. Define and identify the probable causative factors of _______
2. Identify the physiology of the organ involved and progression of disease
3. Identify the proper management of the disease
4. Provide health teaching to the patient and significant others to improve the
patient condition and the prevent complication

 B. Narrative Form

I. Medical history and Physical assesment
II. Imaging tests

D. MANAGEMENT

E. NURSING DIAGNOSIS

III. DISCHARGE PLANNING

IV. RELATED NURSING THEORY

Faye Abdellah’s 21 Nursing Problems Theory

Using this theory, we can make an approach specific to the needs of the patient and in
line with the management of the disease.

• To maintain good hygiene and physical comfort

Maintaining physical comfort is a priority for the patient because there is identified pain
which is severe most of the time.

• To promote optimal activity: minimal exercise, rest, sleep

• To promote safety through prevention of accident, injury, or other trauma and through
prevention of the spread of infection
 patient is expected to rest and limit exercise so as to not to get tired easily,

• To facilitate the maintenance of a supply of oxygen to all body cells

When there is an obstruction in an organ, delivery of oxygen is limited/ none which will
cause a number of physical manifestations as observed by the patient mentioned
above. Surgical intervention, as recommended will be able to correct this.

• To facilitate the maintenance of nutrition for all body cells

Patient with pancreatic cancer would most likely have appetite problems induced by
nausea and vomiting and exacerbated by either constipation or diarrhea.

• To facilitate the maintenance of elimination

Bowel obstruction is a common manifestation of pancreatic cancer.

• To facilitate the maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance

IV Therapy is indicated for the patient because patient may be dehydrated and fluid
volume problems may be present.

• To recognize the physiologic responses of the body to disease conditions—

pathologic, physiologic, and compensatory
Explaining to the patient what the disease is and its necessary management will help
him understand the underlying processes his body goes through and why certain
manifestations like pain is present.
