Slide 35
Change your eating habits. Eat several small meals instead of
two or three large meals. After you eat, wait 2 to 3 hours before
you lie down. Late-night snacks aren't a good idea. Chocolate,
mint, and alcohol can make GERD worse. Spicy foods, foods that have
a lot of acid (like tomatoes and oranges), and coffee can make GERD
symptoms worse in some people. 3. Gastroesophageal reflux disease
(GERD)
Slide 36
Do not smoke or chew tobacco. If you have GERD symptoms at
night, raise the head of your bed 6 in. (15 cm) to 8 in. (20 cm) Do
not wear tight clothing around your middle. Lose weight if you need
to. Losing just 5 to 10 pounds can help.

Slide 38
Nausea is an unpleasant, queasy feeling in the throat or
stomach that may result in vomiting. Vomiting is emptying the
stomach as a result of strong gagging and retching that leads to
throwing up. Vomiting can come in waves as the natural movement
(peristalses) is reversed, and involuntary contractions in the
walls of the stomach and esophagus force the stomach contents out.
4. Nausea and Vomiting
Slide 39
Slide 40
Nausea and vomiting are not diseases, but they are symptoms of
many conditions such as: Motion sickness or seasickness Early
stages of pregnancy Medication-induced vomiting Intense pain
Emotional stress (such as fear) CNS causes: Bulimia or other
psychological illnesses Ingestion of toxins or excessive amounts of
alcohol 4. Nausea and Vomiting

Ulcers (acute gastritis) Gallbladder disease Food poisoning
Overeating Heart attack Infections (such as the "stomach flu") A
reaction to certain smells or odors Concussion or brain injury,
Brain tumor Some forms of cancer 4. Nausea and Vomiting
Slide 42
The nausea makes it difficult to drink fluid, making the
dehydration worse, which then increases the nausea. Intravenous
fluids may be provided to correct this issue and break the cycle 4.
Nausea and Vomiting http://drugline.org/ail/pathography/1655/

Slide 60
Laxatives : 1. bulk-forming (1 st line) eg. Prune, basil seeds
Increase water, osmotic pressure and stool in the intestine. Safe
and low side effect Side effect: Distension, flatulence. Do not
use: Gastrointestinal obstruction. Constipation Onset: 2-3
days

water and electrolyte onto large intestine. osmotic pressure and
stool in the intestine. Stimulate myenteric plexus movement Addict,
bowel movement dysfuction Constipation Onset: 6-8 hours

Hemorrhoid Hemorrhoids are enlarged veins located in the lower
part of the rectum and the anus. They become swollen because of
increased pressure within them, usually due to straining at stools
and during pregnancy because of the pressure of the enlarged
uterus. Divided into 2 groups: External hemorrhoid Internal
hemorrhoid http://diseasespictures.com/hemorrhoids/
Causes: increased pressure Hemorrhoids are associated with
constipation and straining at bowel movements. Pregnancy is also
associated with hemorrhoids. Other conditions, for example chronic
liver disease, may also cause increased venous pressure and may be
associated with hemorrhoid formation.
Slide 79
symptoms The most common symptom and sign is painless bleeding.
There may be bright red blood on the outside of the stools, on the
toilet paper, or dripping into the toilet. The bleeding usually is
self-limiting. There may be other reasons to have bleeding
including inflammatory bowel disease, infection, and tumors
Slide 80
Hemorrhoid Treatment: Self-Care at Home Warm Sitz Baths Sitting
in a few inches of warm water three times a day for 15- 20 minutes
may decrease the inflammation. Dry the anus. Dietary Changes
Increased fluid intake and dietary fiber decrease the potential for
constipation lessen the pressure on the rectum and Activity
Suggestions Should not sit for long periods of time and may benefit
from sitting on an air or rubber donut. Exercise is helpful in
relieving constipation and in decreasing pressure on the
hemorrhoidal veins
