Gastrointestinal: Tina Jones
History FindingsMs. Jones is a 28-year-old African American female who has come to the clinic,
reporting upper stomach pain that started one month ago and continues daily. Ms. Jones rates her
pain as 5/10 and states that the pain feels like heartburn that worsens when she eats spicy or fast
food. Ms. Jones verbalized noticing symptom relief when she sits up, uses an antacid, and with
increased time after her meal. Ms. Jones reports increased thirst and no significant fluctuations in
weight. She denies significant changes in her diet and further denies smoking or using any illicit
drugs.Pertinent Physical Exam Findings
Ms. Jones is an obese 28-year-old female who is cooperative and maintains eye contact
during the history taking period. Her breath sounds are clear and unlabored, negative of cough,
wheezing, and crackles. The cardiovascular portion of her assessment is unremarkable, with no
murmurs gallops or rubs. Ms. Jones has normoactive bowel sounds present in all four quadrants,
absent abdominal tenderness with light and deep palpation. Her spleen and kidneys are non-
palpable, and her abdomen is tympanic throughout. She is negative of CVA tenderness, and her
liver presents at 7cm of the mid-clavicular line and 1cm below the right coastal margin.Differential Diagnosis
Based on the patient’s complaints and the exam finding, there are three possible
differential diagnoses. The first one is peptic ulcer disease, according to Narayanan, Reddy, and
Marsicano (2018), patients with peptic ulcers disease present with burning pain located near the
midline of the epigastrium near the xiphoid process (Narayanan et al.). Ms. Jones’s chief
complaint is burning pain to her epigastrium area, making peptic ulcer disease a possibleGI:TINA JONES 3
diagnosis. A second differential diagnosis is gastritis; symptoms of gastritis include abdominal
pain and heartburn (Liu, & Abell, 2017). A third differential diagnosis for Ms. Jones is
gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), GERD presents with significant discomfort and
heartburn post meals, often relieved with antacids and periods of rest (Penner & Fishman, 2020).
GERD is characterized by symptoms similar to Ms. Jones’s chief complaint.Diagnostics
In order to make a final diagnosis, several diagnostic tests need to be carried out. The
first one is an X-ray study with a contrast medium to detect the presence of ulcers or GERD
(Narayanan et al., 2018). If the test does not indicate the presence of ulcers, then peptic ulcer
disease can be ruled out. If GERD can not be accurately diagnosed with an X-ray using contrast
medium, then an ambulatory esophageal pH monitoring test will be conducted to confirm GERD
(Forootan, Zojaji, Ehsani, & Darvishi, 2018). Since H. Pylori is the most common cause of
gastritis in the U.S., performing laboratory testing for serologic titers of H. Pylori antibodies is
important in order to partially rule out gastritis (Narayanan et al., 2018).Final Diagnosis
According to Forootan et al. (2018), test results from the x-ray with contrast and an
ambulatory esophageal pH monitoring test in conjunction with presenting symptoms and
obtaining a thorough history are enough to diagnose Ms. Jones with GERD.Pathophysiology
GERD occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter weakens, allowing a backward
movement of gastric contents into the esophagus (Forootan et al., 2018). The gastric contents
irritate the mucosal lining of the esophagus resulting in a destructive erosion of the mucosal
lining that causes a painful burning sensation in the epigastric region (Forootan et al., 2018).GI:TINA JONES 4
Treatment Plan
Initial treatment for Ms. Jones’s includes Famotidine 10mg, 1 Tab PO BID for two
weeks. Ms. Jones is to return to the clinic in 2 weeks for a re-evaluation of symptoms and to
determine medication effectiveness (Sandhu, & Fass, 2018). Part of Ms. Jones’s treatment plan
includes education on the importance of exercise and weight loss to promote a healthy weight
and assist in alleviating symptoms and predisposing factors. Ms. Jones will be encouraged to
avoid foods that exacerbate symptoms, to eat small frequent meals versus three large meals,
avoid eating 2-3 hours before bed, and utilize a wedge pillow to sleep at an incline (Sandhu, &
Fass, 2018). Ms. Jones is instructed to seek emergent care if she experiences blood in her
stool/emesis, or chest pain (Sandhu & Fass, 2018).GI:TINA JONES 5

Tina Jones tweaked her back lifting a box
Week 3 Shadow Health Assessment Musculoskeletal
Subjective:
HPI: Ms. Jones presents to the clinic complaining of back pain that began 3 days ago after she tweaked it
while lifting a heavy box while helping a friend move. She states that lifted several boxes before this event
without incident and does not know the weight of the box that caused her pain. The pain is in her low back and
bilateral buttocks, is a constant aching with stiffness, and does not radiate. The pain is aggravated by sitting
(rates a 7/10) and decreased by rest and lying flat on her back (pain of 3-4/10). The pain has not changed over
the past three days and she has treated with 2 over the counter ibuprofen tablets every 5-6 hours. Her current
pain is a 5/10, but she states that the ibuprofen can decrease her pain to 2-3/10. She denies numbness, tingling,
muscle weakness, bowel or bladder incontinence. She presents today as the pain has continued and is
interfering with her activities of daily living.
Social History: Ms. Jones job is mostly supervisory, although she does report that she may have to sit or stand
for extended periods of time. She denies lifting at work or school. She states that her pain has limited her
activities of daily living. She denies use of tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs. She does not exercise.
ROS: General: Denies changes in weight, fatigue, weakness, fever, chills, and night sweats.
Musculoskeletal: Denies muscle weakness, pain, joint instability, or swelling. She does state that she has
difficulties with range of motion. She does state that the pain in her lower back has impacted her comfort while
sleeping and sitting in class. She denies numbness, tingling, radiation, or bowel/bladder dysfunction. She
denies previous musculoskeletal injuries or fractures.
Neurologic: Denies loss of sensation, numbness, tingling, tremors, weakness, paralysis, fainting, blackouts, or
seizures.

Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that occurs most often during the growth spurt just
before puberty. While scoliosis can be caused by conditions such as cerebral palsy and muscular
dystrophy, the cause of most scoliosis is unknown.
Scoliosis. Scoliosis testing usually begins with a history and physical exam. This includes the forward-
bending test, a simple test in which the child bends forward at the waist, arms hanging loosely and palms
touching, and the examiner looks for unevenness in the child’s back or ribs.
Plain X-rays can confirm the diagnosis of scoliosis and reveal the severity of the spinal curvature. If a doctor
suspects that an underlying condition such as a tumor is causing the scoliosis, he or she may recommend
additional imaging tests, such as an MRI.Dec 29, 2017Joint pain worse in am
Rheumatoid arthritis symptoms also include prolonged morning stiffness lasting greater
than 30 minutes. Osteoarthritis patients may feel morning stiffness, but it generally
subsides within the first 30 minutes.When palpating joints in a musculoskeletal exam, crepitus indicates:
Roughened articular cartilages
An effusion in the joint
Articular injury
Supporting muscles are contracted
***Roughened articular cartilages
(Crepitus is the sound of two rough surfaces inside the body rubbing together. This is commonly
found in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis when the cartilage of joints is eroded, and the
bones rub against one another. Crepitus may be a sign of bone fracture.)
Imagine that Tina has hard painless bumps on the dorsolateral aspects of the distal
interphalangeal joints that had limit flexion during a range of motion test. How would you have
documented these abnormalities?
Heberden’s nodeDescribe the major differences in acute versus passive range of motion (ROM) when distinguishing
between an articular and nonarticular joint issue.
passive range of motion is usually 5% greater than active range of motion. this should be equal in bilateral
joints. pain, limited range of motion, spastic movement, joint instability, deformity, and contractor
suggests a problem with the joint, related to muscle group or serve supply
joint (articular), there is pain and often swelling with limited passive and active ROM nonarticular, there
is pain on active, but not passive, ROM Active ROM involves the use of structures (ligaments, tendons,
muscles) outside of the joint, hence there is a limitation with active ROM and not passive ROM when a
problem is outside of the joint.What would be some of the ways in which you could assess Tina for suspected lumbar
