Mr. S.T. indicated that he didn't have this kind of disease as a child, it only occurred
spontaneously this year. However, he revealed that he had been experiencing abdominal pain for
the past few months, for at least one to two months when he estimated it. Mr. S.T felt and acted
normally in the morning, with no signs of discomfort or pain. He was able to have coffee for
breakfast and did his job as usual. In the afternoon, he was able to go to their garden, but as he
continued to work, he felt nauseous which he disregarded. He drank soft drinks that day with his
lunch. During the following hour, he still felt dizzy, but he thought that it was because of his
tiredness since he worked earlier that day. But during the night, he experienced diarrhea wherein
he defecated three times with a consistent characteristic of red and watery stool. They were
alarmed, so they decided to go to the hospital for a checkup early in the morning.
The admission day, September 16, 2023, when Mr. S.T. sought for a check-up, he was
immediately admitted to NVPH with chief complaints of epigastric pain with body weakness and
melena. His admitting diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to bleeding peptic
ulcer disease. His final diagnosis was upper gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to anemia. He
went through a physical assessment and different examinations, such as blood chemistry, serum
electrolytes, cross-matching, and a radiograph, received BT, also inserted PNSS IV fluid 1L
every 8 hours with 3 cycles and started some medications such as omeprazole, rebamipide,
lactulose, and metoclopramide. Mr. S.T. was instructed to have adequate rest and oral
rehydration and was monitored for time and stool.
First day of admission, September 17, 2023, Mr. S.T. defecated once late during the night
with a yellow and dark red color. The doctor ordered for CBC, and the patient was given a
consent form for the blood transfusion. He was only continuing the regimen, drug medication,
and oral rehydration that day while recovering. 8:00 pm when the transfusion was administered,
and it was done after 4 hours.
Second day of admission, September 18, 2023, Mr. S.T defecated once early in the
morning with a yellow color. He was required again for a CBC and physical assessment. On the
last assessment, September 19, 2023, the patient was now negative for melena, hematochezia,
dizziness, and hematemesis. He also had normal vital signs. Then, the doctor ordered a Fecal
Occult Blood Test and H. Pylori test and to consume an omeprazole drip, IVF TF of PNSS
1Lx12hrs (2 cycles). He was also advised to refer to the laboratory.
When Mr. S.T. was three years old, he was diagnosed with dengue fever. He couldn’t
remember a lot about his experience during this time since he was just a child, so he couldn’t add
more information about it. Whenever he was experiencing fever, cough, or colds he just self-
medicates with paracetamol, neozep, or tuseran since these are the common drugs for these
conditions. For his vaccinations, he stated that he already completed his Covid vaccination which
was Pfizer for his 1st and 2nd dose. His first booster was Moderna and still hasn't received his
second booster.
D. Family History
Mr. S.T. has no known family history of any disease since he stated that both his parents
don't have a disease.
E. Socioeconomic History
Mr. S.T. 's family's primary source of income is vegetable gardening. Their family owns a
small plot of farmland, and the harvest was insufficient to meet the family's needs, affecting their
eating routine. Sometimes they only eat twice a day, because they don’t have enough money to
eat more food. The estimated finance of the family every month was about four thousand (4,000)
pesos that was only allotted for their necessities such as food, bills, and liquor.
F. Lifestyle History
Mr. S.T. works in their vegetable garden everyday which he considers as his basic
exercise and hobby. During breakfast, he only drinks coffee before going to their garden. For his
lunch and sometimes dinner, he eats rice with different vegetable recipes, whatever they can
think of. Sometimes he also eats meat when they can afford to buy it. Sometimes, he eats past his
eating time because of his work. He doesn’t smoke cigarettes, but drinks liquor, specifically gin
known as 2x2 more than three times a week.
II. Brief Description
Definition
Anemia - Anemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells.
Red blood cells provide oxygen to body tissues.
Causes
Upper gastrointestinal bleeding that leads to anemia because of Peptic ulcer, this is the
most common cause of upper GI bleeding. Peptic ulcers are open sores that develop on the inside
lining of your stomach and the upper part of your small intestine. Stomach acid, either from
bacteria or use of anti-inflammatory medicines, such as ibuprofen or aspirin, damages the lining,
causing sores to form.
Risk Factors
● Chronic Alcohol Abuser. Drinking alcohol can exacerbate the condition and worsen the
symptoms that the patient is experiencing.
● Diet. Food doesn't cause or treat ulcers, some can make your pain worse, while others
may help you heal faster.
● Feeding. Skipping meals can lead to peptic ulcer disease.
● Antacids. Antacids buffer gastric acid and prevent the formation of peptin. This
mechanism of action promotes healing of the ulcer.
● Antibiotics. Such as amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, tetracycline. Antibiotics
treat the Helicobacter pylori infection and promote the healing of the ulcer. As the ulcer
heals, the patient experiences less pain.
● Histamine receptor antagonists. H2 receptor antagonists block the secretion of gastric
acid. Prostaglandin analogue reduces acid secretion and enhances the integrity of the
gastric mucosa to resist injury. Example: Ranitidine
● Proton pump inhibitor. Proton pump inhibitors block the production and secretion of
gastric acid and thereby reduce gastric pain. Example: Omeprazole
● Sucralfate. Sucralfate forms a barrier at the base of the ulcer crater to protect the healing
ulcer from gastric acid
Prevention
Nursing Management
1. Providing Pain Relief and Comfort. Assess the patient’s pain, including the location,
characteristics, precipitating factors, onset, duration, frequency, quality, intensity, and
severity.
2. Instruct the patient to avoid NSAIDs such as aspirin. These medications may cause
irritation of the gastric mucosa.
3. Instruct the patient that meals should be eaten at regularly paced intervals in a
relaxed setting. An irregular schedule of meals may interfere with the regular
administration of medications.
4. Encourage the importance of smoking cessation. Smoking decreases the secretion of
bicarbonate from the pancreas into the duodenum, resulting in increased acidity of the
duodenum.
5. Assist the patient with identifying foods that cause gastric irritation. patients need to
learn what foods they can tolerate without gastric pain. Soft, bland, non-acidic foods
cause less gastric irritation. The patient is more likely to increase food intake if the foods
are not associated with pain. Foods that may contribute to mucosal irritation include spicy
foods, pepper, and raw fruits and vegetables.
6. Instruct on the importance of abstaining from excessive alcohol. Alcohol causes
gastric irritation and increases gastric pain.
7. Encourage the patient to limit the intake of caffeinated beverages such as tea and
coffee. Caffeine stimulates the secretion of gastric acid. Coffee, even if decaffeinated,
contains a peptide that stimulates the release of gastrin and increases acid production.
8. Assess for the signs of hematemesis or melena. The patient with a bleeding ulcer may
vomit bright red blood or coffee grounds emesis. Melena occurs when there is bleeding in
the upper GI tract.
9. Monitor the patient’s fluid intake and urine output. The kidney will reabsorb water
into circulation to support a decrease in blood volume. This compensatory mechanism
results in decreased urine output. A decrease in circulatory blood volume leads to
decreased renal perfusion and decreased urine output.
10. Monitor the patient’s vital signs, and observe BP and HR for signs of orthostatic
changes. The erosion of an ulcer through the gastric or duodenal mucosal layer may
cause GI bleeding. The patient may develop anemia. If bleeding is brisk, changes in vital
signs and physical symptoms of hypovolemia may develop rapidly. A decrease in BP and
an increase in HR with changes in position is an early indicator of decreased circulatory
volume.
Complications
A. Gastrointestinal Tract
The GI tract consists of the oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large
intestine, and anus. The main functions of the GI system include ingestion and digestion of food,
nutrient absorption, secretion of water and enzymes, and excretion of waste products.
The upper GI tract is generally considered to be the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and finally the
first part of the small intestine (duodenum). The lower GI tract runs from the small intestine to
the large intestine (colon) to the anus.
Mouth
Esophagus
Stomach
The C-shaped stomach is on the left side of the abdominal cavity, nearly hidden by the liver and
the diaphragm. The stomach acts as a temporary “storage tank” for food as well as a site for food
breakdown.
● The cardia is the top part of your stomach. It contains the cardiac sphincter, which
prevents food from traveling back up your esophagus.
● The fundus is a rounded section next to the cardia. It's below your diaphragm (the dome-
shaped muscle that helps you breathe).
● The body (corpus) is the largest section
of your stomach. In the body, your
stomach contracts and begins to mix
food.
● The antrum lies below the body. It holds food until your stomach is ready to send it to
your small intestine.
● The pylorus is the bottom part of your stomach. It includes the pyloric sphincter. This
ring of tissue controls when and how your stomach contents move to your small intestine.
Once the food material arrives in the stomach, it can be temporarily stored and mechanically and
chemically broken down by the actions of stomach acids and enzymes. The secretion of intrinsic
factors produced by the stomach helps appropriately absorb vitamin B12. The ability of the
stomach to store food stems from its compliance and ability to change size. On average, the
lesser curvature of the stomach has a length of approximately 10 cm, and the larger curvature has
a length of roughly 40 cm. The stomach typically spans from vertebrae T7 to L3, giving it the
ultimate ability to hold on to a large amount of food.
The ability of the stomach to mechanically break down food materials is due to its sophisticated
muscular dimensions. The stomach has three muscular layers: an inner oblique layer, a middle
circular layer, and an external longitudinal layer. The contraction and relaxation of these three
muscular layers of the stomach assist in the mixing and churning activities essential in the
formation of chyme. Then the chemical breakdown of food material in the stomach is propagated
by the gastric glands, produced majorly by the parietal cells, chief cells, G-cells, foveolar cells,
and mucous neck cells.
Several layers of muscle and other tissues that make up the stomach:
● Mucosa is your stomach’s inner lining. When your stomach is empty, the mucosa has
small ridges (rugae). When your stomach is full, the mucosa expands, and the ridges
flatten.
● Submucosa contains connective tissue, blood vessels, lymph vessels (part of your
lymphatic system) and nerve cells. It covers and protects the mucosa.
● Muscularis externa is the primary muscle of your stomach. It has three layers that
contract and relax to break down food.
● Serosa is a layer of membrane that covers your stomach
The parietal cells secrete intrinsic factors and hydrochloric acid. The hydrochloric acid produced
by the parietal cell keeps the stomach pH between 1.5 to 2.0. The stomach acidity brought on by
hydrochloric acid destroys most of the microorganisms ingested with food, denatures protein,
breaks down plant cell walls, and is essential for the activation and function of pepsin, a protein-
digesting enzyme secreted by chief cells. The chief cells produce a zymogen called pepsinogen,
which gets activated at a pH between 1.5 to 2 to become pepsin. The foveolar and mucous neck
cells produce mucus, protecting the gastric epithelium from acidic corrosion. The G cells are
abundant within the pyloric section of the stomach. They produce gastrin which stimulates
secretions from the parietal and chief cells. Within the pyloric glands of the stomach, D cells
produce somatostatin, which inhibits gastrin release.
Duodenum
Within the duodenum, accessory digestive organs such as the liver and the pancreas release
digestive secretions. The liver is the largest internal organ and gland in the human body. It has
numerous functions, but as an accessory organ of the digestive system, it produces bile which
emulsifies fats and various lipids for optimal digestion. Bile produced in the liver is stored in the
gallbladder. The gallbladder contracts to release bile into the duodenum when fat-containing
food is present
Blood is a connective tissue consisting of plasma and formed elements. It is the body’s only fluid
tissue and accounts for approximately 8% of body weight. Blood is composed of liquid plasma
and formed elements. These formed elements include: erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes
(white blood cells), and platelets.
Blood is a sticky, opaque fluid with a metallic taste and the color varies from scarlet red to dark
red. The pH of blood is 7.35-7.45. Temperature is 38 degrees celsius and the average volume is
5-6 L for males, and 4-5 L for females.
RBCs are dedicated to respiratory gas transport. It is filled with hemoglobin (Hb), a protein that
functions in gas transport. Hemoglobin (Hb) accounts for about a third of the cell’s volume. This
consists of the protein globin, made up of two alpha and two beta chains, each bound to a heme
group. Each heme group bears an atom of iron, which can bind to one oxygen molecule.
• Heme molecules transport oxygen (Iron is required)
– Oxygen content determines blood color
• Oxygenated: bright red
• Deoxygenated: darker red
• Globin molecules transport carbon dioxide
Red Blood Cells Production
Erythropoiesis is the production of red blood cells. Erythropoiesis takes place in people’s bone
marrow.
Process:
1. A hemocytoblast is transformed into a proerythroblast
2. Proerythroblasts develop into early erythroblasts The
developmental pathway consists of three phases
1. Ribosome synthesis in early erythroblasts
2. Hb accumulation in intermediate erythroblasts and
late erythroblasts
3. Ejection of the nucleus from late erythroblasts and
formation of reticulocytes
– Reticulocytes are released from the red bone
marrow into the circulating blood, which
contains ~1-3% reticulocytes
3. Reticulocytes then become mature erythrocytes
