Hello Randles,

I have read your discussion on PUD and anemia case study. The patient has been

experiencing gnawing pain in the stomach and has not been eating well. This patient has

an Hgb of 8 and an HCT of 24. I agree that these signs are consistent with peptic ulcer

disease (PUD). The plan for this patient is educational, therapeutic, and consultation.

Therapeutics should focus on testing for H.pylori and medication. The patient should,

however, be discontinued from NSAIDs due to their effects on the patient's PUD

conditions. Education should be focused on dosage, adherence, and medication side

effects. Consultation with a gastroenterologist is encouraged for PUD management.

Hello Kayla,

I have read your discussion on the dementia case that presents with signs of PUD

and anemia. Urgent care labs show that the patient has an Hgb of 8 and an HCT of 24.

The patient appears to be anemic and has other signs associated with Peptic Ulcer

Disease. The plan for this patient is educational, therapeutic, and consultation (Dunlap &

Patterson, 2019). Therapeutic should focus on cessation of NSAIDs and testing for H.

pylori and medication. Education should focus on the effects of medication, such as

NSAIDs, adherence, and dosage. The patient should consult with a gastroenterologist

regularly for a full recovery and follow-up on the PUD condition.
