PART II
A. Case Description
Patient J.M.L.P is a 16-year-old female pediatric patient residing at B26 L1 Atis
Street Almanza II, Las Piñas City. Prior to her admission, the patient came in with a
primary complaint of abdominal pain. The patient had 3 days history of fever with
vomiting and hypogastric abdominal pain, Hence, consulted and was given Omeprazole
and Cefuroxime. The patient’s pertinent physical examination findings show that she has
a tender hypogastric abdomen. Her attending physician is Doctor Dory Rustria Buena.
She was admitted on September 27, 2022, with an admitting diagnosis was T/C Acute
Abdomen. After numerous tests, her final diagnosis was Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.
Patient J.M.L.P’s surgical procedures were S/P Exploratory Laparotomy drainage of
intraperitoneal abscess; intraperitoneal lavage under spinal anesthesia
On September 28, 2022, patient J.M.L.P’s chest x-ray findings revealed that there
are hazy densities in the right upper lung (Remarks: PTB, right upper lung). The rest of
the chest structures are unremarkable. On October 7, 2022, patient J.M.L.P’s chest x-ray
preliminary readings are as follows: (1) Follow-up to the 09/28/2022 study shows the
development of left lower lung pneumonia and small left pleural effusion, (2) The right
upper lobe PTB of undetermined activity is unchanged, (3) The rest of the lungs are clear,
and lastly (4) The heart remains unenlarged. That same day, patient J.M.L.P’s urinalysis
test result showed that her urine is color yellow, its appearance is hazy, PH level is 5.0,
protein is +2, ketones is +3, and sugar is found negative. The pus cells are 1-2/HPF, Red
blood cells are 0-1/HPF, Epithelial cells are moderate, Bacteria are rare, and Mucus
threads are none.
On September 30, 2022, patient J.M.L.P's ultrasound of the appendix findings are
as follows: (1) Focused scanning of the right lower abdomen was done, (2) The right
lower abdominal region is partially obscured overlying gas, (3) There is small free fluid
in the right paracolic gutter, (4) A large fluid collection with sediments is also seen in the
pelvis, (5) The appendix was not visualized.
On October 22, 2022, patient J.M.L.P is scheduled for wound closure of her S/P
Exlap. A surgical safety checklist has been done. The pre-operative checklist indicated
that patient J.M.L.P has been on NPO since 2:00 am. She was also given medications
prior to the procedure such as Omeprazole 40 mg IV and Ondansetron 40 mg IV at 8:00
am. The patient’s blood type is AB+ and the vital signs of the patient were as follows:
BP: 100/60mmHg, Temp: 36.3℃, PR: 70 bpm, and RR: 20bpm. In addition, a Humpty
Dumpty Scale was performed and the total result was 9 which indicates that patient
J.M.L.P is at low risk. Moreover, a morse falls scale assessment tool was also performed
and the total result was 20 which indicated that the patient is at no risk. After the surgery,
an instrument and sponge count sheet was accomplished which indicated that it was all
complete and correct.
On that same day which was on October 2, 2022, patient J.M.L.P also underwent
exploratory laparotomy, evacuation of pelvic abscess; peritoneal lavage. The operative
diagnosis was a pelvic inflammatory disease; T/C pelvic tuberculosis with a secondary
bacterial infection. The operation started at 8:55 am and ended at 12:50 pm. Spinal
anesthesia was done to her and it was noted that the sponge and instrument count was
complete. The intra-operative findings were as follows: Upon opening, evacuated 800cc
purulent, foul-smelling fluid. The bowels and omentum were densely matted together,
with notes of multiple whitish punctate lesions on the surface. On further exploration, the
uterus was seen, its surface exhibited the same whitish purulent material. The left ovary
and fallopian tube were friable and densely adherent to each other and the left pelvic
sidewall. The right ovary and fallopian tube were likewise friable and hardly
distinguishable from each other. There was a 0.5 cm point of rupture from the surface of
the ovary near the uterotubal junction, and it was seen exuding the same purulent
material. The omentum and bowels were likewise densely adherent to the right adnexa.
The right fallopian tube was dilated to approximately 6 x 2cm with a fimbriated end
noted upon adhesiolysis.
Moreover, the other following procedures that were completed were as follows:
(1) Patient was placed in a supine position under spinal anesthesia, (2) Bladder was
catheterized aseptically, (3) Asepsis-antisepsis was done. Sterile drapes were placed, (4)
Midline infraumbilical vertical incision was done and carried down to the peritoneum, (5)
Evacuation of the pelvic abscess was done, (6) Abdominopelvic organs inspected; Uterus
was identified, and both adnexae were visualized but were densely adherent to each other,
(7) Pathologic right ovary and dilated right fallopian tuber were identified, (8) Patient
was referred intraoperatively to Surgery Service for adhesiolysis and Omental Biopsy, (9)
Hemostasis assured, (10) 2 liters of Peritoneal washing was done, (11) Abdomen closed
in anatomic layers after complete sponge, instruments and needle count, (12) Abdomen
closed by layers, Peritoneum: continuous using Novosyn 1-0, Fascia: continuous
interlocking using Novosyn 0, Subcutaneous: continuous using Novosyn 2-0, and Skin:
subcuticar using Novosyn 4-0, and lastly (13) Final asepsis-antisepsis done. Sterile
dressing was applied.
On October 9, 2022, the gram stain test result revealed that the pus cells are many.
While the is no presence of epithelial cells. The test results also showed that
gram-negative bacilli are many while the gram-positive cocci in pairs and in chains are
rare. For the medical nutrition therapy form for pediatrics, it showed that the scoring of
nutrition risk-related risk factors of patient J.M.L.P are depressed albumin (1 pt) and
weight below or above BMI (1 pt) which has a total of 2 points indicating she is at
moderate risk. Her nutritional status is severe malnutrition. Therefore, the dietitian's
recommendations are as follows: BMI - 13.0 severe thinness, Desirable body weight -
49kg, Total energy requirement - 2,000 calories CHO: 300g CHON: 75g, and Fat: 50g,
Add oral nutrition supplement of pediasure plus 75 scoops in 250 ml water TID
equivalent of 952 calories.
On October 11, 2022, an aerobic culture and susceptibility test result showed that
it is positive for Klebsiella pneumoniae. The antibiotics that patient J.M.L.P is susceptible
are as follows: (1) Levofloxacin, (2) Doripenem, (3) Gentamicin, (4)
Piperacillin-Tazobactam, (5) Cefoxitin, (6) Cefepime, (7) Ertapenem, (8) Imipenem, (9)
Meropenem, and lastly (10) Amikacin. On October 18, 2022, the 7th-day antimicrobial
form revealed that the antimicrobial present is Piperacillin and Tazobactam.
On October 13, 2022, the ultrasound report results revealed that there is a
normal-sized anteverted uterus with a thin endometrium, the ovaries are both normal, and
lastly the transabdominal scan of the fascial layer showed no dehiscence throughout the
length of the incision. The final histopathologic diagnosis showed that part of her
omentum pleural fluid there is chronic granulomatous inflammation with langhan’s type
giant cell and caseation necrosis consistent with tuberculosis etiology (omentum) as well
as blood elements. On October 10, 2022, patient J.M.L.P’s bacteriology test result on her
abdomen showed that there is no acid-fast bacilli seen.
Based on the doctor’s order sheet of patient J.M.L.P, her diet was ordered as DAT
once fully awake. On October 22, 2022, the patient's medications ordered were as
follows: Conzace CUP OD, Omina TAB BID (NON-PNR), Diphendyramine 10 mg -
mid + post-NN (ALBUMIN TRANSFUSION), Pediasure Plus 75 scoops in 250 ml H20
TID, Ketorolac 30 mg IV Q8 RTC x 6 dose, Tramadol 25 mg IV for breakthrough pain
Q4 PRN, Celecoxib 100mg cap (TS - 10/25) Q8 RTC x 3 days, Ondansetron 4mg N x N
+ V Q8 PRN, HRZE (Anti-TB meds) 3 tabs ODAC, Piptazin 3 grams IV Q6, and
Amikacin 150 mg IV Q6.
C. Holistic Nursing Brief and Pathophysiology
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a polymicrobial infection of the upper genital tract.
It primarily affects young, sexually active women. The diagnosis is made clinically; no single
test or study is sensitive or specific enough for a definitive diagnosis. Pelvic inflammatory
disease should be suspected in at-risk patients who present with pelvic or lower abdominal pain
with no identified etiology, and who have cervical motion, uterine, or adnexal tenderness.
Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae are the most commonly implicated
microorganisms. However, other microorganisms may be involved such as E. coli, Group B
Strep, H. influenza, S. aureus, and S. pneumoniae which are the rarely implicated
microorganisms. The spectrum of disease ranges from asymptomatic to life-threatening
tubo-ovarian abscess. Patients should be treated empirically, even if they present with few
symptoms. Most women can be treated successfully as outpatients with a single dose of a
parenteral cephalosporin plus oral doxycycline, with or without oral metronidazole. Delay in
treatment may lead to major sequelae, including chronic pelvic pain, ectopic pregnancy,
peritonitis, perihepatitis (Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome) sepsis, and infertility (Gradison, 2012).
Upon entering the patient’s room, the student nurse observed that the status of the patient
was at high risk and she was on bed rest. The student nurse noted that the patient was on HL
(Heplock) at her left brachial artery. The student nurse also noted that the patient has a suctioned
JP drain that has blood with a little amount of pus. The patient verbalized that she was unable to
sleep well last night due to the pain and discomfort from her recent wound closure surgery. The
patient stated that her pain score was 8 out of 10. Therefore, she was having difficulty
ambulating and had a limited range of motion. The patient also verbalized that she was having
difficulty defecating for 3 days already due to the pain from her incision site. With this, the
student nurse instructed the patient to do post-operative exercises such as proper body alignment
and mechanics, deep-breathing exercises, moving the feet, dangling the legs, and ambulation.
These physical activities can help promote defecation, minimize pain, and prevent post-operative
complications. The student nurse also assisted the patient in a high backrest position and
observed that the patient showed a facial grimace and a guarding behavior meaning she was in
pain.
On the second day which was on October 25, 2022, the student nurse first performed vital
signs at 8 am.
After performing vital signs, the student nurse interviewed patient J.M.L.P and obtained
data regarding her disease. Upon follow-up, the student nurse asked the patient if she was able to
perform the post-operative exercises instructed to her. The patient verbalized that she was able to
perform the physical activities but with slow and limited movement. The patient stated that she is
not experiencing any dizziness, nausea, or vomiting. J.M.L.P was awake, alert, and oriented to
person, place, and time. The student nurse noted that the patient has a water limit of 1.5L due to
her pleural effusion in the lungs. The student nurse also noted that the patient has a clear vision,
however, she has weak extremity strength on both her right and left upper and lower extremities.
Moreover, the student nurse auscultated the patient’s heart sounds which showed that she has
normal heart sounds and a regular rhythm. The student nurse also observed that the patient’s skin
color is pale. The student nurse also auscultated for the patient’s breath sounds and respirations
which showed that she has no respiratory distress. However, the patient’s lungs have bilateral
crackles sounds due to her pneumonia. The patient also verbalized that she has no cough but has
little amount of sputum which is color yellow. Lastly, the student nurse auscultated the patient’s
abdomen and noted that her bowel sounds are normal. The student nurse also palpated the
patient’s abdomen and noted that it is soft, non-tender, and non-distended. However, due to the
pain from her post-surgery, she has the inability to defecate, therefore, she is constipated. The
patient verbalized that she was able to urinate normally. However, her urine color is amber due to
her antibiotic medications. In addition, patient J.M.L.P's level of consciousness is normal and has
an intact thought process.
