A CASE STUDY
ON
Submitted by:
Presented to:
March 2023
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
General:
By the end of this study, BSN 4A Group 1 students will have a better understanding of
Bleeding Peptic Ulcer disease and will be able to produce synthesize based on actual events.
In this case study, we'll look at how to effectively manage patients with Bleeding Peptic Ulcer
Disease and improve any nurse interventions that may be required in their treatment.
The BSN 4A Group 1 will be able to specify the following after finishing this case analysis. The
following actions are intended to accomplish the General Goals:
OBJECTIVES:
• Research the possible causes of Bleeding Peptic Ulcer Disease to gain a better
understanding of the issue.
• Evaluate the patient's medical history and how it may impact the present situation.
• To understand how the current illness is portrayed physio pathologically.
• Discuss the normal outcomes of a Bleeding Peptic Ulcer Disease physical exam,
diagnostic tests, patient signs and symptoms, and nursing care for Bleeding Peptic
Ulcer illness.
• Do a drug study to learn about the function, side effects, and contraindications of the
medication given to the patient.
• Identify the standard Bleeding Peptic Ulcer disease therapies that are available and
devise a successful nursing care strategy for the patient.
• Develop a home care and health promotion plan.
OVERVIEW OF THE DISEASE
DEFINITION
The most common peptic ulcer symptom is burning stomach pain. Stomach acid makes the
pain worse, as does having an empty stomach. The pain can often be relieved by eating
certain foods that buffer stomach acid or by taking an acid-reducing medication, but then it
may come back. The pain may be worse between meals and at night.
Diagnostic
EGD Test - a simple procedure to examine your upper GI tract. The test involves an
endoscope, a lighted camera on the end of a tube, which is passed down your throat to
visualize your esophagus, stomach and duodenum. It’s also called an upper endoscopy exam.
Upper GI Series - a radiographic (X-ray) examination of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It
can help to diagnose structural or functional abnormalities of the esophagus, stomach, and
duodenum
Other Test may include:
➢ Blood test
➢ Stool Test
➢ Urea breath Test
Treatment
Peptic ulcers can cause major health complications if not treated. There are several treatment
options available depending on the cause and severity of the disease.
Lifestyle adjustments - Limiting or eliminating alcohol and smoking from your life might help
in reducing ulcer inflammation.
Medications - Depending on the case, proton pump inhibitors or antibiotics can help treat
ulcers. Proton pump inhibitors help reduce acid levels and antibiotics help treat a helicobacter
pylori infection
If you have a serious complication from an ulcer, such as acute bleeding or a perforation, you
may require surgery. Minimal bleeding caused by a peptic ulcer can be treated with an upper
endoscopy. However, surgery is needed far less often now than previously because of the
many effective medications available.
Prevention
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle by quitting smoking cigarettes and other tobacco use and eating
a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains will help you prevent developing a
peptic ulcer.

bloody material in the morning and lost his consciousness at that time.
Vital Signs:

Social/Psychological History
The patient work as a Police Officer at Checkpoint of Barangay Patul, Santiago City. He
worked 5 days in a week for almost 24 hours, as part of his work. He stayed in the outpost
checkpoint for 5 days and go home for 2 days to get rest. He used to drink hard drink alcohol
twice a week and sometimes he didn’t eat meal when he drink alcohol and according to the

Stomach
The stomach is located in the upper part of the abdomen just beneath the diaphragm. The
stomach is distensible and on a free mesentery, therefore, the size, shape, and position may
vary with posture and content. An empty stomach is roughly the size of an open hand and when
distended with food, can fill much of the upper abdomen and may descend into the lower
abdomen or pelvis on standing. The duodenum extends from the pylorus to the ligament of Treitz
in a sharp curve that almost completes a circle. It is so named because it is about equal in length
to the breadth of 12 fingers, or about 25 cm. It is largely retroperitoneal and its position is
relatively fixed. The stomach and duodenum are closely related in function, and in the
pathogenesis and manifestation of disease. The stomach may be divided into seven major
sections. The cardia is a 1–2 cm segment distal to the esophagogastric junction. The Fundus
refers to the superior portion of the stomach that lies above an imaginary horizontal plane that
passes through the esophagogastric junction. The antrum is the smaller distal one-fourth to one-
third of the stomach. The narrow 1–2 cm channel that connects the stomach and duodenum is
the pylorus. The lesser curve refers to the medial shorter border of the stomach, whereas the
opposite surface is the greater curve. The angularis is along the lesser curve of the stomach
where the body and antrum meet, and is accentuated during peristalsis.
