Assignment 1: Lab Assignment: Assessing the Abdomen
The objectives of this assignment are to analyze an episodic note case study
for the assessment of the abdomen and gastrointestinal system provided by the
professor. The episodic case note provides subjective and objective information,
along with an assessment containing two diagnoses of left lower quadrant pain and
gastroenteritis. This paper ends with a plan which is not required for the
assignments in this course.

Analysis of the Subjective Portion and Suggested Additional
Information
Subjective information picked up from the Patient amid this experience is
not as thorough as it ought to be upon the initial experience with the Patient given
the chief complaint of generalized abdominal pain, a real pain in the left lower
quadrant. Thorough subjective information is fundamental to determine the right
diagnosis (Nusbaum & Gupta, 2019). Having a thorough history of the Patient and
family history is required with a specific end goal to survey and pick the right
diagnostics (Nusbaum & Gupta, 2019). The chief complaint of abdominal pain can
include a group of potential diagnoses ranging from minor conditions to acute life-
threating conditions (Scheppke & Bryer, 2016). Thus, it is crucial to distinguish
quickly conditions associated with abdominal pain associated with digestive,
urinary, reproductive rights & cardiovascular systems (Scheppke & Bryer, 2016).
This focus completed by conducting a focused history and physical exam that
helps focus that adequately captures patterns for selected diagnoses (Scheppke &
Bryer, 2016).
The Patient's history of the present condition was somewhat constrained. It
lacked a lot of more subjective data, for example, the PQRST
(provocation/palliation, quality, quantity, location, radiation, and timing) technique
for describing the pain is essential for abdominal conditions (Macaluso &
