Diagnosis
Differential Diagnoses
Diverticulitis – The diverticula’s infection or inflammation and is characterized by abdominal pain, nausea, and or vomiting. The patient, in this case, had two of the symptoms (Strate & Morris, 2019).
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) – characterized primarily by abdominal pain. Other symptoms include nausea, cramping, and bloating (Black et al., 2020).
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic condition characterized by acid reflux into the esophagus. While acid reflux is an occasional occurrence in most people, it can be a chronic condition that results in damage of the esophagus leading to abdominal pain. Other symptoms include vomiting, nausea, and bad breaths (Clarrett & Hachem, 2018).
Diagnosis
Diverticulitis; The diagnosis for this patient is diverticulitis, which is an inflammation of the diverticula that is characterized by nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Several risk factors increase the chances of the patient suffering from this condition. This includes advancement in age; as one advance in age, the risk increase. The patient is 53 years old, which increases her risk of suffering from the condition. The patient was also taking Carvedilol 12.5 mg, which is used to control hypertension and has been linked to an increased risk of developing diverticulitis. Diverticulitis is the most appropriate diagnosis based on the symptoms and the risk factors.
Plan/Therapeutics
Plan:
Ø Treatment will include antibiotics to manage infections.
Ø The patient should receive pain relievers such as paracetamol to manage the abdominal pain.
Ø The patient should adopt a liquid diet for a few days until the bowel heals, after which solid foods will be introduced. High-fiber diets are always recommended to facilitate smooth bowel movements and prevent unnecessary complications that can limit the healing.
Ø The patient should get bed rest which can facilitate faster healing (Peery, 2021).
