This week’s discussion focuses on complaints or symptoms related to the abdomen. I would not be surprised if you were somewhat overwhelmed by the diagnostic information in your text readings. There are numerous professional articles that address the assessment of the abdomen in an adult, pregnant and pediatric patient. As per your textbook, abdominal pain is a common complaint in the primary and emergency care settings. It is imperative that the primary care provider be competent in sorting out the subjective and objective complaints relating to the abdominal symptoms. Read the 3 articles that are in the Student Resource Area for this Unit. Your discussion should address the differences between an abdominal assessment for the adult in the ER, a pregnant female, and a pediatric patient with a complaint of abdominal pain. Be sure to address the inclusion of various laboratories and radiographic testing that may or may not be appropriate for each patient.
