discomfort was present throughout general abdomen, occasional palpable peristalsis and moderately tympanic percussion. Abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting, and hypoactive bowel sounds are all findings related to the epigastric abdominal pain (Bickley, et. al., 2021). Diagnostically, the abdominal XR confirmed the suspicion of a small bowel obstruction and UA showed high specific gravity suggestive of mild dehydration. Through detailed health history, ROS, physical assessment and diagnostic testing I was able to effectively diagnose the patient with a SBO and get them the care they needed to recover with good health outcomes.
