(PEPTIC ULCER DISEASE)

I. Introduction

Peptic ulcers

- are open sores that develop on the inside lining of your


stomach and the upper portion of your small intestine.
-most common symptom of a peptic ulcer is stomach pain.

Peptic ulcers include:


· Gastric ulcers that occur on the inside of the stomach
· Duodenal ulcers that occur on the inside of the upper portion
of your small intestine (duodenum)

MORBIDITY/MORTALITY
According to the latest WHO data published in 2020 Peptic Ulcer Disease Deaths in Philippines
reached 6,865 or 1.02% of total deaths. Ranks #17 in the Philippines and #12 in the world.

Risk factors

 Smoke. Smoking may increase the risk of peptic ulcers in people who are infected with H.
pylori.
 Drink alcohol. Alcohol can irritate and erode the mucous lining of your stomach, and it
increases the amount of stomach acid that's produced.

 Diet.

 Have untreated stress.

 NSAIDS

 Eat spicy foods (Alone, these factors do not cause ulcers, but they can make ulcers
worse and more difficult to heal).

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

 Burning stomach pain


 Feeling of fullness, bloating or belching

 Intolerance to fatty foods

 Heartburn

3
UNIVERSAL COLLEGES OF PARAŇAQUE INC.

COLLEGE OF NURSING

 Nausea

Less often, ulcers may cause severe signs or symptoms such as:

 Vomiting or vomiting blood — which may appear red or black


 Dark blood in stools, or stools that are black or tarry

 Trouble breathing

 Feeling faint

 Nausea or vomiting

 Unexplained weight loss

 Appetite changes

LABORATORY PROCEDURES
 Blood test: To check for the presence of H pylori.
 Breath test: To check H pylori infection (bacterial infection). Most accurate.
 Stool test: To check H pylori infection (bacterial infection).

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES

 Endoscopy. Your doctor may use a scope to examine your upper digestive system
(endoscopy). During endoscopy, your doctor passes a hollow tube equipped with a lens
(endoscope) down your throat and into your esophagus, stomach and small intestine.
Using the endoscope, your doctor looks for ulcers.

If your doctor detects an ulcer, a small tissue sample (biopsy) may be removed for
examination in a lab. A biopsy can also identify whether H. pylori is in your stomach lining.

Your doctor is more likely to recommend endoscopy if you are older, have signs of
bleeding, or have experienced recent weight loss or difficulty eating and swallowing. If the
endoscopy shows an ulcer in your stomach, a follow-up endoscopy should be performed
after treatment to show that it has healed, even if your symptoms improve.

 Upper gastrointestinal series. Sometimes called a barium swallow, this series of X-rays
of your upper digestive system creates images of your esophagus, stomach and small
intestine. During the X-ray, you swallow a white liquid (containing barium) that coats your
digestive tract and makes an ulcer more visible.

TREATMENT

4
UNIVERSAL COLLEGES OF PARAŇAQUE INC.
8273 Dr. A. Santos Ave., Parañaque City
COLLEGE OF NURSING

Treatment for peptic ulcers depends on the cause. Usually, treatment will involve killing the H. pylori
bacterium if present, eliminating or reducing use of NSAIDs if possible, and helping your ulcer to heal
with medication.

Medications can include:

 Antibiotic medications to kill H. pylori. If H. pylori is found in your digestive tract, your
doctor may recommend a combination of antibiotics to kill the bacterium. These may
include amoxicillin (Amoxil), clarithromycin (Biaxin), metronidazole (Flagyl), tinidazole
(Tindamax), tetracycline and levofloxacin.

The antibiotics used will be determined by where you live and current antibiotic resistance
rates. You'll likely need to take antibiotics for two weeks, as well as additional medications
to reduce stomach acid, including a proton pump inhibitor and possibly bismuth
subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol).

 Medications that block acid production and promote healing. Proton pump inhibitors
— also called PPIs — reduce stomach acid by blocking the action of the parts of cells that
produce acid. These drugs include the prescription and over-the-counter medications
omeprazole (Prilosec), lansoprazole (Prevacid), rabeprazole (Aciphex), esomeprazole
(Nexium) and pantoprazole (Protonix).

Long-term use of proton pump inhibitors, particularly at high doses, may increase your
risk of hip, wrist and spine fracture. Ask your doctor whether a calcium supplement may
reduce this risk.

 Medications to reduce acid production. Acid blockers — also called histamine (H-2)
blockers — reduce the amount of stomach acid released into your digestive tract, which
relieves ulcer pain and encourages healing.

Available by prescription or over the counter, acid blockers include the medications
famotidine (Pepcid AC), cimetidine (Tagamet HB) and nizatidine (Axid AR).

 Antacids that neutralize stomach acid. Your doctor may include an antacid in your drug
regimen. Antacids neutralize existing stomach acid and can provide rapid pain relief. Side
effects can include constipation or diarrhea, depending on the main ingredients.

Antacids can provide symptom relief but generally aren't used to heal your ulcer.

 Medications that protect the lining of your stomach and small intestine. In some
cases, your doctor may prescribe medications called cytoprotective agents that help
protect the tissues that line your stomach and small intestine.

Options include the prescription medications sucralfate (Carafate) and misoprostol


(Cytotec).

Nursing Management

Administer prescribed medications.

 Medications may include antacids, anticholinergics, histamine-receptor antagonist, proton-


pump inhibitors, and mucosal protective agents.
 Medication for ulcers caused by H. pylori include bismuth subsalicylate, metronidazole,
and tetracycline. These medications administered together eradicate H. pylori bacteria in
the gastric mucosa.
Provide client and family teaching.

 Instruct the client to quit smoking, which decreases the secretion of bicarbonate from the
pancreas into the duodenum, resulting in increased acidity in the duodenum.
 Teach the client about necessary lifestyle modifications aimed at decreasing stress and
maximizing effective coping. Biofeedback, hypnosis, or behavior modification may be
suggested.

Teach the client methods to minimize symptoms while maintaining adequate nutrition.

 Avoid foods that previously have caused pain. Specific dietary restrictions vary from client
to client.
 Eat three regular meals a day, small, frequent meals are unnecessary as long as the
medication is taken before meals.
 Avoid a diet rich in milk and creams, which are acid stimulants.
Prepare the client for diagnostic procedures and provide post procedure care.

 Prepare for barium swallow includes no oral intake after midnight and possible laxatives to
clean the GI tract.
 After a barium swallow, administer a laxative if indicated to prevent constipation.
 Stools are monitored until all barium has been eliminated.

Prepare the client for surgery if indicated. (e.g. ulcers that have not responded to treatment
after 12 to 16 weeks, life-threatening hemorrhage or perforation)

Preoperative care

 Obtain informed consent


 Clear and empty the GI tract by administering enemas and allowing nothing by mouth
Postoperative care

 Ensure that the nasogastric tube (surgically placed) is not manipulated


 Observe nasogastric tube aspirate

 Provide routine postoperative care
 Provide discharge teaching

UPPER GASTROINTESTINAL BLEEDING

Upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding refers to bleeding that occurs


anywhere in the esophagus, the stomach, or the upper part of the small
intestine. It is a symptom of an underlying disorder, and it can be serious.

MORBIDITY/MORTALITY

Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a common problem that is estimated to occur in 80 to 150
out of 100,000 people each year. Estimated mortality rates are between 2 and 15 percent.
UGIB accounts for 75% of all acute gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding cases. Its annual incidence is
approximately 80 to 150 per 100,000 population.
On the other hand, the elderly had a significantly higher mortality than the young when the source
was gastric ulcer.

RISKS

-smoker
-history of peptic ulcer disease
-alcohol consumption
-age
-people with GERD
-NSAIDS

Signs & Symptoms

The location of a GI bleed and the rate of bleeding influence the type of symptoms a person may
experience.

The symptoms of a GI bleed can include:

 black, tarry stool


 vomit that is bright red or resembles coffee grounds

7
UNIVERSAL COLLEGES OF PARAŇAQUE INC.
8273 Dr. A. Santos Ave., Parañaque City
COLLEGE OF NURSING

 stomach cramps
 unusually pale skin
 feeling faint, dizzy, or tired
 weakness

People can also experience occult bleeding, which occurs when there is blood in the stool that is not
visible. Doctors can detect this blood using a stool test.

Laboratory tests

 Stool tests: These can detect inflammation, occult bleeding, or infection


ns, such as H. pylori.

 Blood tests: These tests can reveal anemia.

Diagnostic tests

 Nasogastric lavage. A tube is passed through your nose into your stomach to remove
your stomach contents. This might help determine the source of your bleed.

 Upper endoscopy. This procedure uses a tiny camera on the end of a long tube, which
is passed through your mouth to enable your doctor to examine your upper
gastrointestinal tract.

 Capsule endoscopy. In this procedure, you swallow a vitamin-size capsule with a tiny
camera inside. The capsule travels through your digestive tract taking thousands of
pictures that are sent to a recorder you wear on a belt around your waist. This enables
your doctor to see inside your small intestine.

 Balloon-assisted enteroscopy. A specialized scope inspects parts of your small


intestine that other tests using an endoscope can't reach. Sometimes, the source of
bleeding can be controlled or treated during this test.

 Imaging tests. A variety of other imaging tests, such as an abdominal CT scan, might be
used to find the source of the bleed.

Treatment

Medication Summary

UNIVERSAL COLLEGES OF PARAŇAQUE INC.
8273 Dr. A. Santos Ave., Parañaque City
COLLEGE OF NURSING

Rebleeding in patients with upper gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage (UGIB) is associated with
increased morbidity and mortality; therefore, prevention of rebleeding is the major goal of therapy.

 If you have an upper GI bleed, you might be given an IV drug known as a proton pump
inhibitor (PPI) to suppress stomach acid production. Once the source of the bleeding is
identified, your doctor will determine whether you need to continue taking a PPI.

Nursing management

o Nutrition
 Observe for symptoms of nausea and vomiting
 Recurrence of bleeding
 Feedings: initially clear fluids given hourly
 Gradually introduce of foods as tolerated
 Ambulatory Care
o Patient teaching
 Patient/family taught how to avoid future bleeding episodes
 Made aware of consequences of not adhering to drug therapy
 Emphasize that no drugs other than those prescribed should be taken
 No smoking or alcohol
 Need for long-term follow-up care
 Instruction if an acute hemorrhage occurs in future

For patient having blood transfusion


 If blood transfusion reaction occurs: STOP THE TRANSFUSION.
 Start IV line (0.9% NaCl)
 Place the client in Fowler’s position if with Shortness of Breath and administer O2 therapy.
 The nurse remains with the client, observing signs and symptoms and monitoring vital signs as
often as every 5 minutes.
 Notify the physician immediately.
 The nurse prepares to administer emergency drugs such as antihistamines, vasopressor,
fluids, and steroids as per physician’s order or protocol.
 Obtain a urine specimen and send to the laboratory to determine presence of hemoglobin as a
result of RBC hemolysis.
 Blood container, tubing, attached label, and transfusion record are saved and returned to the
laboratory for analysis.

Anemia

-Anemia is a condition in which you lack enough healthy red blood


cells to carry adequate oxygen to your body's tissues. Having
anemia, also referred to as low hemoglobin, can make you feel
tired and weak. There are many forms of anemia, each with its
9

COLLEGE OF NURSING

own cause. Anemia can be temporary or long term and can range from mild to severe. In most cases,
anemia has more than one cause. It can be a warning sign of serious illness.

Type of Anemia:

 Aplastic anemia
 Iron deficiency anemia
 Sickle cell anemia
 Thalassemia
 Vitamin deficiency anemia

Morbidity/Mortality

According to the latest WHO data published in 2020 Anemia Deaths in Philippines reached
3,435 or 0.51% of total deaths. The age adjusted Death Rate is 4.91 per 100,000 of population
ranks Philippines #2 in the world.

Risk factors

These factors place you at increased risk of anemia:

 A diet lacking in certain vitamins and minerals. A diet consistently low in iron, vitamin
B-12, folate and copper increases your risk of anemia.

 Intestinal disorders. Having an intestinal disorder that affects the absorption of nutrients
in your small intestine — such as Crohn's disease and celiac disease — puts you at risk
of anemia.

 Menstruation. In general, women who haven't had menopause have a greater risk of iron
deficiency anemia than do men and postmenopausal women. Menstruation causes the
loss of red blood cells.

 Pregnancy. Being pregnant and not taking a multivitamin with folic acid and iron,
increases your risk of anemia.

 Chronic conditions. If you have cancer, kidney failure or another chronic condition, you
could be at risk of anemia of chronic disease. These conditions can lead to a shortage of
red blood cells.

Slow, chronic blood loss from an ulcer or other source within your body can deplete your
body's store of iron, leading to iron deficiency anemia.

 Family history. If your family has a history of an inherited anemia, such as sickle cell
anemia, you also might be at increased risk of the condition.
10
UNIVERSAL COLLEGES OF PARAŇAQUE INC.
8273 Dr. A. Santos Ave., Parañaque City
COLLEGE OF NURSING

 Other factors. A history of certain infections, blood diseases and autoimmune disorders
increases your risk of anemia. Alcoholism, exposure to toxic chemicals and the use of
some medications can affect red blood cell production and lead to anemia.

 Age. People over age 65 are at increased risk of anemia.

Signs and Symptoms

Depending on the causes of your anemia, you might have no symptoms.

Signs and symptoms, if they do occur, might include:

 Fatigue

 Weakness

 Pale or yellowish skin

 Irregular heartbeats

 Shortness of breath

 Dizziness or lightheadedness

 Chest pain

 Cold hands and feet

 Headaches

At first, anemia can be so mild that you don't notice it. But symptoms worsen as anemia worsens.

Diagnostics/ Laboratory tests

To diagnose anemia, your doctor is likely to ask you about your medical and family history, perform a
physical exam, and run the following tests:

 Complete blood count (CBC). A CBC is used to count the number of blood cells in a
sample of your blood. For anemia, your doctor will likely be interested in the levels of the
red blood cells contained in your blood (hematocrit) and the hemoglobin in your blood.

Healthy adult hematocrit values are generally between 38.3% and 48.6% for men and
35.5% and 44.9% for women. Healthy adult hemoglobin values are generally 13.2 to 16.6
grams per deciliter for men and 11.6 to 15 grams per deciliter for women. These values
may differ slightly from one medical practice to another.

Numbers might be lower for people who engage in intense physical activity, are pregnant
or of older age. Smoking and being at high altitude might increase numbers.
11
UNIVERSAL COLLEGES OF PARAŇAQUE INC.
8273 Dr. A. Santos Ave., Parañaque City
COLLEGE OF NURSING

 A test to determine the size and shape of your red blood cells. Some of your red
blood cells might also be examined for unusual size, shape and color.

Treatment

For some types of mild to moderate anemia, your doctor may recommend prescription supplements:

 Iron supplements can increase the iron in your body. This may help treat iron-deficiency
anemia. Iron supplements are generally not given to people who do not have iron-deficiency
anemia because too much iron can damage your organs.
 Vitamin B12 supplements or shots can help treat vitamin B12–deficiency anemia.

 Blood Transfusion- for the anemia that are caused by bleeding.

Nursing management

Nursing interventions are based on the data assessed by the nurse and on the symptoms that the
patient manifests.

To manage fatigue:

 Prioritize activities. Assist the patient in prioritizing activities and establishing balance
between activity and rest that would be acceptable to the patient.
 Exercise and physical activity. Patients with chronic anemia need to maintain some
physical activity and exercise to prevent the deconditioning that results from inactivity.
To maintain adequate nutrition:

 Diet. The nurse should encourage a healthy diet that is packed with essential nutrients.
 Alcohol intake. The nurse should inform the patient that alcohol interferes with the
utilization of essential nutrients and should advise the patient to avoid or limit his or her
intake of alcoholic beverages.
 Dietary teaching. Sessions should be individualized and involve the family members
and include cultural aspects related to food preference and preparation.
To maintain adequate perfusion:

 Blood transfusion monitoring. The nurse should monitor the patient’s vital signs and
pulse oximeter readings closely.
To promote compliance with prescribed therapy:

 Enhance compliance. The nurse should assist the patient to develop ways to
incorporate the therapeutic plan into everyday activities.

12
UNIVERSAL COLLEGES OF PARAŇAQUE INC.
8273 Dr. A. Santos Ave., Parañaque City
COLLEGE OF NURSING

 Medication intake. Patients receiving high-dose corticosteroids may need assistance


to obtain needed insurance coverage or to explore alternative ways to obtain these
medications.
Why did we choose this case?
Our group has chosen this case due to its relativity when it comes to prevention. It reminds us how
one’s neglect of health can introduced a couple of new complications. It also made us realized how
the marginalized people of our society suffer from health. Health is never accessible for those who
are below the society’s hierarchy. This case also taught us how Filipinos responded when it comes to
health. Neglecting small aches or pains just to prevent hospital bills can make those illnesses worst.
The WHO can never achieve the goals of good health and well-being if we can never eradicate
hunger to those who are below the society. Health is wealth; let’s make healthcare accessible to
everyone.

IV. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY


33
UNIVERSAL COLLEGES OF PARAŇAQUE INC.
8273 Dr. A. Santos Ave., Parañaque City
COLLEGE OF NURSING

Circulatory System

o Function is to move blood throughout the body. This blood circulation keeps organs, muscles
and tissues healthy and working to keep you alive.
o Heart is the only circulatory system organ. Blood goes from the heart to the lungs to get
oxygen. The lungs are part of the respiratory system. The heart then pumps oxygenated blood
through arteries to the rest of the body.

- High blood pressure: Arteries work hard to circulate blood throughout the body. When the
pressure (force of blood against the blood vessel walls) gets too high, you develop high blood
pressure. When the arteries become less elastic (stretchy), less blood and oxygen reaches
organs like the heart. High blood pressure puts at risk for cardiovascular disease, heart attacks
and strokes. Blood made up of red and white blood cells, plasma and platelets. Blood
circulates through heart.

34
UNIVERSAL COLLEGES OF PARAŇAQUE INC.
8273 Dr. A. Santos Ave., Parañaque City
COLLEGE OF NURSING

Gastrointestinal System

o The gastrointestinal tract consists of the oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small
intestine, and large intestine. The accessory organs are the teeth, tongue, and glandular
organs such as salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.
o Gallbladder-It stores and concentrates bile from the liver, and then releases it into the
duodenum in the small intestine to help absorb and digest fats.

Upper Abdomen

Right Upper Quadrant- The right upper quadrant primarily contains the liver, gallbladder, and biliary
system. Portions of the right kidney, small intestine, and ascending/transverse colon can also extend
into the RUQ.

Epigastric- The epigastric region contains the stomach (as well as the lower part of the esophagus
and first part of the duodenum/small intestine) and part of the pancreas. The liver and biliary system
can also extend into the epigastric region. The descending aorta travels posteriorly through the
epigastric region as well.

Lower Abdomen

Right Lower Quadrant- The main structures in the right lower quadrant for both males and females
are the appendix and cecum. The cecum is the junction of the small intestine and large intestine. It is

35
UNIVERSAL COLLEGES OF PARAŇAQUE INC.
8273 Dr. A. Santos Ave., Parañaque City
COLLEGE OF NURSING

also important to note that the right ovary and part of the fallopian tube can extend into the right lower
quadrant in females as well.

Suprapubic- The primary structure in the suprapubic region for both males and females is the
bladder. The uterus also resides in this location in females.

Excretory system
o The function of the excretory system to remove wastes from the body.

o Urinary bladder- sac-like structure with muscular walls that holds urine until it is expelled from
the body during micturition. The bladder receives urine through two ureters – one from each
kidney –that enter through openings called ureteric orifices. These orifices are located at the
convex fundus of the organ. Urine exits the bladder through the urethra.
o Urethra- The female urethra is a relatively simple tubular structure that has the sole purpose
of conducting urine from the bladder to the outside of the body.

Do not smoke:

72
UNIVERSAL COLLEGES OF PARAŇAQUE INC.
8273 Dr. A. Santos Ave., Parañaque City
COLLEGE OF NURSING

Smoking increases your risk of developing ulcers. Nicotine and other chemicals in cigarettes and
cigars can also cause lung damage. E-cigarettes or smokeless tobacco still contain nicotine.
Take your medicine as directed.

To avoid worsening of upper gastrointestinal bleeding,


 Do not have carbonated drinks, alcohol, or caffeine. Caffeine is found in some coffees, teas,
and sodas. It is also found in chocolate.
 Do not eat foods that upset your stomach. These include spicy or acidic foods, such as
oranges.
 Eat small meals more often rather than big meals less often. An empty stomach may make
your symptoms worse.
 Low salt low fat diet for patient’s hypertension.

Output follow-up
 Remind the patient to have a follow up check-up even though she already feels better.
 Follow up checkup for her hypertension and her peptic ulcer.
After the discharged, patient may go to clinic for follow up checkup after a week. As part to check for
level of her CBC and HGB.

Diet

For anemia

-Encourage high on iron containing food like legumes, spinach, peas, and dark other green leafy
vegetable to prevent anemia.

-The patient should eat iron-rich foods which also contain Vitamin C (ascorbate) to improve iron
absorption.

-Enforce strictly compliance in taking iron supplements as prescribed by the physician

For hypertension

- DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet is an eating plan habit to lower or control
high blood pressure. The DASH emphasizes foods that lower in sodium as well as foods that are rich
in potassium, magnesium, and calcium - nutrients that help lower blood pressure. DASH stands for
Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. The diet is simple: · Eat more fruits, vegetables, and low-
fat dairy foods · Cut back on foods that are high in saturated fat, cholesterol, and trans fats · Eat more
whole-grain foods, fish, and nuts.

For UGIB DIET

High fiber foods such as:

-whole green

COLLEGE OF NURSING

-fruits vegetables and beans

-low fats food such as fish, and vegetables may decrease Acid.

-Avoid or limit caffeine and spicy food, those foods that causes heartburn nausea or diarrhea.

Spiritual Counseling
 Encourage the patient to pray daily and ask for God’s continues healing
 Encourage the patient for her fast recovery and give words of encouragement
 Encourage relatives/significant others to show more support for the patient’s well being.

XI. CASE INSIGHTS


Peptic ulcer are open sores that develop on the inside lining of the stomach or the upper
portion of the small intestine; wherein the patient experienced epigastric pain. Most common causes
of peptic ulcer are H.pylori that’s present in her medical history. The peptic ulcer of the patient got
worst, and it resulted to the presence of black tarry stool. Black tarry stool indicates upper
gastrointestinal bleeding that is caused by the peptic ulcer. The bleeding resulted to anemia. Loss of
red blood cells in excess of new blood cell production causes anemia due to excessive bleeding.
Patient felt dizzy and have low blood pressure when blood flow is rapid. Blood loss occurs gradually,
and patient get tired, and pale. Aside from the UGIB, patient also experienced cystitis that is evident
from her right lower quadrant pain. Cystitis is the inflammation of the bladder that causes pain from
right lower quadrant.

Since the patient is in middle age, it is the age of generativity vs. stagnation. Patient is widowed;
hence, she needs the warmth of her family by caring. Caring for her grandchildren by guiding them
through life is an example of generativity. Research indicates that middle-aged adults who develop a
sense of generativity are more motivated to make positive health decisions. Thus, they would also
likely tend to their healthcare needs regularly. Conversely, someone with a sense of stagnation may
experience less motivation to look after themselves, resulting in less stringent healthcare routines—
and a lower level of health later in life.
In the patient’s health situation and age, it is best to still make her feel useful. Let her engage in
caring for the future generation and community. Without the “care” of family and community from her,
patient may feel the rejectivity, or a lack of meaning in one's life and in one's actions, can occur.

As nursing students, we realized that a person’s health if left untreated; can lead to longer
hospitalizations and more complications. Most Filipino, we only go to hospital if the symptoms are
severe and just neglect the mild ones. These mild symptoms can then develop more complications
that could lead us to more hospitalizations. Therefore, our health should always be our first priority.
Lastly, prevention is better than cure. Our patient’s diseases can be preventable if there is proper
hygiene and balanced diet with proper nutrition. Health is wealth, therefore, promote health
prevention for wellness.
