INVESTIGATIONS
MEDICATIONS
LIVER
INTRODUCTION:
The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) consists of a hollow muscular tube starting from the
oral cavity, where food enters the mouth, continuing through the pharynx,
oesophagus, stomach and intestines to the rectum and anus, where food is expelled.
There are various accessory organs that assist the tract by secreting enzymes to help
break down food into its component nutrients. Thus the salivary glands, liver,
pancreas and gall bladder have important functions in the digestive system.
Food is propelled along the length of the GIT by peristaltic movements of the
muscular walls. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY:
The primary purpose of the gastrointestinal tract is to break food down into nutrients,
which can be absorbed into the body to provide energy. First food must be ingested
into the mouth to be mechanically processed and moistened.
Secondly, digestion occurs mainly in the stomach and small intestine where proteins,
fats and carbohydrates are chemically broken down into their basic building blocks.
Smaller molecules are then absorbed across the epithelium of the small intestine and
subsequently enter the circulation. The large intestine plays a key role in reabsorbing
excess water. Finally, undigested material and secreted waste products are excreted
from the body via defecation (passing of faeces).
In the case of gastrointestinal disease or disorders, these functions of the
gastrointestinal tract are not achieved successfully. Patients may develop symptoms of
nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, malabsorption, constipation or obstruction.
Gastrointestinal problems are very common and most people will have experienced
some of the above symptoms several times throughout their lives.
ANATOMY OF GASTROINTESTINAL:
The lower gastrointestinal tract includes most of the small intestine and all of the large
intestine. According to some sources, it also includes the anus.
Bowel or intestine
Small Intestine: Has three parts:
Duodenum: Here the digestive juices from the pancreas(digestive enzymes) and
hormones and the gall bladder (bile) mix. The digestive enzymes break down
proteins and bile andemulsify fats into micelles. The duodenum contains
Brunner's glands which produce bicarbonate. In combination with bicarbonate
from pancreatic juice, this neutralizes HCl of the stomach.
Jejunum: This is the midsection of the intestine, connecting the duodenum to the
ileum. It contains the plicae circulares, and villi to increase the surface area of
that part of the GI Tract. Products of
digestion (sugars, amino acids, fatty acids) are absorbed into the bloodstream.
Ileum: Has villi and absorbs mainly vitamin B12 and bile acids, as well as any
other remaining nutrients.
Large Intestine: Has three parts:
Caecum: The Vermiform appendix is attached to the caecum.
Colon: Includes the ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon and
sigmoid Flexure: The main function of the Colon is to absorb water, but it also
contains bacteria that produce beneficial vitamins like vitamin K.
Rectum
The Ligament of Treitz is sometimes used to divide the upper and lower GI tracts
FUNCTIONS OF LIVER:
The liver regulates most chemical levels in the blood and excretes a product called
bile, which helps carry away waste products from the liver. All the blood leaving the stomach
and intestines passes through the liver. The liver processes this blood and breaks down the
nutrients and drugs into forms that are easier to use for the rest of the body. More than 500
vital functions have been identified with the liver. Some of the more well-known functions
include the following:
Production of bile, which helps carry away waste and break down fats in the small
intestine during digestion
Production of certain proteins for blood plasma
Production of cholesterol and special proteins to help carry fats through the body
Conversion of excess glucose into glycogen for storage (glycogen can later be
converted back to glucose for energy)
Regulation of blood levels of amino acids, which form the building blocks of
proteins
Processing of hemoglobin for use of its iron content (the liver stores iron)
Conversion of poisonous ammonia to urea (urea is an end product of protein
metabolism and is excreted in the urine)
Clearing the blood of drugs and other poisonous substances
Regulating blood clotting
Resisting infections by producing immune factors and removing
bacteria from the bloodstream
When the liver has broken down harmful substances, its by-products are excreted into
the bile or blood. Bile by-products enter the intestine and ultimately leave the body in the
form of feces. Blood by-products are filtered out by the kidneys, and leave the body in the
form of urine.
DEFINITION:
The liver is an important organ of the body that is responsible for detoxification,
metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances.
It's the largest internal organ in the body (the skin is considered the largest organ in the entire
body) and it weighs about 3 pounds (1500g). It's located just under the ribs in the right
upper part of the abdomen. Most of the liver is
protected by the rib cage, but it is possible for doctors to feel the edge of it by pressing deep
into the abdomen when the patient inhales a big breath of air.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chances of getting jaundice are similar to risk factors for liver
and gallbladder disorders. They may include:
Drinking too much alcohol
Using illicit drugs
Taking medicines that may harm the liver
Being exposed to hepatitis A, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C
Being exposed to certain industrial chemicals
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY:
BOOK PICTURE PATIENT PICTURE
CLINICAL MANIFESTATION: CLINICAL MANIFESTATION:
The manifestations of heart failure
depends on the specific ventricular involved breathlessness

duration of the failure and the clients
underlying conditions. oedema in lower extremities
The signs and symptoms of heart failure tachycardia
can be related to which ventricles are increased pulse and respiration rate
affected. Left sided heart failure causes oliguria

have right and left ventricular failure.
left side heart failure:
Pulmonary congestion includes:-
dysnea, cough, pulmonary crackles low

Introduction:
Sister callista Roy began her nursing career in 1963. After receiving B.Sc(N) noting from
moult saint marry college.
1960receives Ms in nursing
1977 her doctorate in sociology
Roy’s model is characterised as a system theory with a strong analogies of intervention.
General system:
Due to set of organized components released to form a whole employee feedback
cycle of input, through put, output.
INPUT: Input includes tensions adaption level (the range of stimuli to which persons
adaptation early)
THROUGH PUT: through put makes use of a person processes and effect ions. Process
refers to control mechanism that a person uses as a adaptive system. Effectors refers to
the physiologic function, self concept and role function involved in adaptation.
OUTPUT: output is the outcome of the system when system is a person. Output refers to
person’s behaviour.

HEALTH EDUCATION
If jaundice gets worse, the yellow color will move from the eyes to your baby's
face; then it will move down client’s body toward the feet.
