My disease process condition is Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD)

The purpose of this discussion is to examine an assigned disease process and determine which disease process explored in the discussion Bayani, the client, is experiencing. 

 client scenario:  

 Bayani, a 62-year-old male client, presents to the NP with abdominal pain with his wife. Bayani is mildly confused, and according to his wife, he is normally fully oriented. His abdomen is soft and non-distended, and his wife states he has been urinating and drinking more water than usual. She also states he has had foul-smelling urine and is concerned he also has a urinary tract infection.  

 

Answer all questions/criteria with explanations and detail. 

1. Discuss the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of your assigned disease process. Which clinical manifestations observed in Bayani’s case could be explained by the pathophysiological mechanisms? 
2. Analyze Bayani’s clinical manifestations in the context of your assigned disease process. Do these findings support a diagnosis of your assigned disease process? Why or why not?  
3. Identify and justify the diagnostic tests (including labs, imaging, or other diagnostic tests) that would be most appropriate for investigating a diagnosis of your assigned disease process in Bayani. What could the results of these tests look like in your assigned disease process? 
4. Compare and contrast your response with a peer assigned a different condition. Does their condition fit Bayani’s case? Why or why not?
