evaluate the information collected and determine if any information should be added. This
analysis will also determine is the current diagnosis would be accepted or rejected as well as any
differential diagnosis that could be considered.
Abdominal and Gastrointestinal
Gathering subjective and objective data is a crucial element in helping healthcare
providers come up with a accurate diagnosis and plan of care. This analysis will exam the
information gathered in this case study and list additional information that should be included in
the documentation. It is imperative to do an accurate investigation to accumulate the clinical data
and bolster the right findings with current evidenced-based practice. Using the information
gathered along with a physical examination and diagnostic testing will help determine a accurate
diagnosis and plan of care. This analysis will offer additional testing and differential diagnosis
based off information gathered.

provider must gathered all pertinent information to help formulate a diagnosis and plan of care.
The patient stated this began three days ago, determining what the patient was doing prior to this
incident, did they eat something, was it different from the norm, did they drink something
different? How did they feel prior to the start of the diarrhea? Have you noticed any bleeding?
What color is your stool? Was there any nausea and vomiting when this occurred? Have the
patient taken anything to help relieve the pain? What have you done to make the pain better?
Incorporating more data to describe the pain, for example, the PQRST (provocation/palliation,
quality, location, radiation, and timing) technique for describing the pain (Young, 2017). The

patients maternal and paternal grandparents and their health history? Do the patients children
have a health history? We know the patient have no allergies to drugs but what about food or
