GASTROINTESTINAL CARE PLAN
Joe LeRoy, age 60, was brought in by his daughter and admitted to your small rural
hospital. He has had the stomach flu at home for several days and is suffering
from dehydration. He has right-sided hemiplegia due to a cerebral vascular
accident (CVA) 3 years ago. Mr. LeRoy has been remaining in bed during his
hospital stay due to extreme weakness and fatigue. You received the report on
your seven patients. From the report, you note that Mr. LeRoy continues to have
frequent liquid stools (averaging about three or four times/shift). The doctor has
ordered a stool sample for culture and sensitivity. When entering his room, you
notice his sheets are very dirty and he has a body odor.
