Did you know?
- A research study performed by nurses found very little connection between the return of bowel sounds and GI motility after surgery.
- That most liver failure is not due to alcoholic cirrhosis.
- That irritable bowel disease increases the risk for colon cancer by six times.
- Or, that chewing gum after surgery speeds bowel recovery.
This morning your patient has diminished bowel sounds. What exactly does that mean? Normal bowel sounds can range from 5-30 sounds per minute, and immediately after eating they can be almost constant.
Confused?
That is why we have put together a program that will clear up the misunderstandings about the GI system. It is called “The GI System in Detail.”
If you have a hard time explaining to your patients about how portal hypertension causes gastric bleeding, or why pancreatitis causes decreased albumin levels, or what diminished bowel sounds mean, then you need to go back to the basics with the help of a mentor who can really make the information easy and understandable.
Most of us learned our anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology in nursing school where we were focused primarily on passing the class. We memorized, we studied, but we quickly forgot.
You learn differently now. With years of nursing experience, your brain has learned to classify your professional information into 'file folders' based on your clinical experiences. Now, when you go back to learn these concepts, your brain will put the information into the correct 'folder' to use the next time you encounter a patient with that problem. In other words, you will retain the information now that you have a way to organize it.
Understanding the essential concepts of gastrointestinal anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology will help you find patient complications faster and respond to them more appropriately. In addition:
- You will communicate more effectively with physicians and your peers,
- You will feel more confident,
- You will provide safer and more effective care!
That is why I have put together a special program just for you entitled The GI System in Detail. This program will make you a better nurse!
