The nurse-on-duty when she received an emergency call. As to her surprise, it was from her friend Sarah G who experienced pain in the abdomen in the disco and was asking if she could take an over-the-counter medication. You tried asking the doctor, but she said it would be better for you to conduct first abdominal assessment so she will also have the confidence in prescribing the medications.
Despite the knowledge that Sarah G. learned about abdominal assessment, she turned out not to be quite convinced with you doing it. In this situation how are you going to explain abdominal assessment to Sarah G.? Include in the explanation its benefits, why is it indicated to her case, including what might be the consequence if she won’t be assessed. Is it fatal or not?
