Case Study

A 70-year-old female is admitted to your unit for changes in bowel/bladder function. Her initial lab work was WNL. Her baseline vital signs were BP 124/62, HR 84, RR 20, Temp 98.4.  The MD performed a bowel resection after it was determined that the pt has colon cancer. Post-operatively the pt is taken to a medical/surgical unit. She has an IV of NS at 100ml/hr., and an NGT to intermittent suction, a foley catheter, and a midline abdominal dressing that is dry and intact.
