Nursing Care Plan for Peptic Ulcer

Peptic ulcer is an acute or chronic ulcertation of the mucosa and deeper structures of the stomach, duodenum, lower esophagus, or jejunum. Chronic type may cause erosion followed by fibrosis of tissue over long periods of time. Causes may be an imbalance in acid and enzyme secretion that affects the protective barrier of the tract, drug ingestion that disrupts the protective barrier, severe emotional or prolonged stress. This plan may be used in association with gastrectomy care plan.

Nursing Diagnosis: Pain related to physical injuring agents of ingestion of irritants, increased gastric secretions, and effect on ulcerated area.

Expected Outcomes: Pain episodes reduced and controlled evidenced by verbalizations that pain is alleviated.

Nursing intervention with rationale:
I. Assess for:
A. Epigastritic pain following ingestion of irritating foods, time of onset after meals, other factors that increase or decrease pain.
Rationale: Symptoms of ulcer depending on site (pain 1-2 hours after meals in gastric ulcer; 2-4 hours in duodenal ulcer).

B. Bloated or gaseous feeling.
Rationale: Occurs with gastric ulcer.

II. Administer:
A. Antacid (aluminum hydroxide, magaldrate).
Rationale: Acts to relieve pain and enhance healing by protecting mucosa by neutralizing acid.

B. H2 Antagonist (cimetidine, ranitidine).
Rationale: Acts to decrease HCL secretion.

C. Anticholenergic (propantheline, belladona, and phenobarbital).
Rationale: Acts to decrease hypermotility and acid secretion.

D. Protective agent (sucralfate).
Rationale: Acts to coat and protect mucosa and inhibit pepsin activity on mucosa.

E. Gastric motility and emptying agent (metoclopramide).
Rationale: Acts to prevent retention of contents in stomach that stimulated acid production.

III. Teach patient or family:
A. Avoid raw, spicy, hot or cold foods, coffee, tea, cola drinks, alcoholic beverages.
Rationale: Increase acid production.

B. Avoid smoking, taking aspirin or other over-the-counter medications.
Rationale: Increases acid production and bleeding tendency of stomach mucosa.

C. Stress reduction techniques.
Rationale: Reduces acid production when relaxed; prevents pain.

D. Proper administration of medications including dose, time, frequency, side effects, expected outcomes.
Rationale: Promotes healing and prevents recurrence of ulcer or continued erosion of mucosa.

  3. My name is Olisa Blessing, I am so happy. I never believe I will be this happy again in life. I have worked as an air hostess ( cabin crew ) for 3years but early this year, I lost my job because of this deadly disease called Herpes virus (HSV). I never felt sick or notice any symptoms. Not until the day all workers were asked to bring their doctors report card, that was how I got tested and I found out that I'm HSV positive and that made me lose my job because it was considered as an STD and is an incurable disease. I was so depressed that I started thinking of suicide.
    I explained my situation to an older friend of mine, who often said to me 'a problem shared is a problem half solved. She felt so pity for me that she referred me to Dr. Utu Herbal Cure, that was how I contacted Dr. Utu and got the medication from him and was cured for real.
    I went back to my work a month later with another HSV negative test result and they carried out another test to be very sure and they found out I am herpes negative.
    Finally, the initial result was replaced with the new HSV negative test results and my position was restored to me with an apology letter and a salary improvement.
    Beware of impersonators,
    Dr. Utu can only be reached at:
    drutuherbalcure@gmail.com.
