Answer 1

what is a careplan? It is a documented set of nursing diagnoses used to provide and monitor patient care.

If you do not have a volume of nursing diagnoses, suggest you pick one up, you will find it invaluable.

Just a few that come to mind for me regarding a GI patient:
Alteration in comfort related to abdominal pain.
Alteration in nutrition related to nausea or emesis.
Aleration in hydration related to nausea or emesis.
Aleration in hydration related to diarrhea

hope this helps

What causes GI bleeding?

Many different things can cause GI bleeding. Bleeding may start because of damage to your digestive tract. This damage may be caused by infections (in-FEK-shuns), alcohol abuse, or certain medicines (such as aspirin). Growths or swollen pockets in your digestive tract may also cause bleeding. You may have bleeding if you have blood vessels that are not normal.


Diseases or other health problems may cause GI bleeding. Examples include liver disease, stomach ulcers (sores), inflammatory bowel disease, colitis, cancer, or hemorrhoids (HEM-oh-roids). GI bleeding may happen after an injury, such as a blow to the stomach or hard vomiting (throwing up).

What are the signs and symptoms of GI bleeding?

Your symptoms depend on where the bleeding is, what is causing it, and how much blood you lose. If you are only losing a little bit of blood, you may have no symptoms. You may have nausea (feeling like you may throw up). You may also have cramping or pain in your abdomen (belly). You may see changes in your vomit or BMs which can include:


Vomiting bright red blood. Blood in the vomit can also be dark red or black. The vomit may look like coffee grounds.


BMs that are sticky, tarry, or black.


You may see bright red blood in your BM, or the water in the toilet may turn red.


You may not pass waste material at all. You may feel like you are going to have a BM, but pass only blood or blood clots into the toilet.
