Assessment and plan Patient is a 57y F with history of alcoholic cirrhosis and ascites presented with epigastric pain of two weeks duration. 1. Abdominal pain: differential include gastritis, GERO, pancretitis, cholecytitis. Given the patient's sign and symptoms of epigastric pain that is relieved with Pepto-Bismol and drinks "coating the stomach" plus recent initiated medications in nursing home, her abdominal pain is most likely caused by medication triggered gastritis. Pancretitis and cholecytitis are less likely because her lipase of 273 is not high enough for pancretitis and CT abdomen did not have any findings for cholecystitis or pancreatitis. Her pain pattern is also inconsistent with cholecystitis. Patient will be given IV PPI to reduce stomach acid production, Maalox and IV morphine to relieve her abdominal pain. She will also receive ondensetron to control her nausea. She will be put NPO over night and we will give her IV 05 to keep her hydrated. 2. Hypokalemia: Patient had a recent knee arthoplasty and may had been on antibiotics post surgically. We will send her stool samples for C. diff toxin. We will supplement with IV potassium and magnesium. 3. Ascites: will arrange out patient follow up with GI/liver specialist. No portal thrombosis reported on the CT. need to ascertain if TIPS still working. 4. OVT prophylaxis: SCOs.
