NR509 Shadow Health Gastrointestinal Physical Assessment Assignment Week 5 2018 May

Pre Brief

For at least a month, Tina has been experiencing pain in her upper stomach after eating, which she describes as "kind of like heartburn, but sharper." She notices it a little every day, but 3-4 times a week it is very painful (5/10 on pain scale). She also notices burping after she eats. She denies cough, hoarseness, sore throat, dysphagia, and chest pain. Be sure to apply the supportive information learned in this week's concept lab to your critical thinking process in this case study.
