I. INTRODUCTION
Acute Gastroenteritis is inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, involving both the stomach and the small intestine and resulting in acute diarrhea. The inflammation is caused most often by infection with certain viruses, less often by bacteria or their toxins, parasites, or adverse reaction to something in the diet or medication. At least 50% of cases of gastroenteritis as food borne illness are due to norovirus. Another 20% of cases, and the majority of severe cases in children, are due to rotavirus. Other significant viral agents include adenovirus and astrovirus. Different species of bacteria can cause gastroenteritis, including Salmonella, Shigella, Staphylococcus, Campylobacter jejuni, Clostridium, Escherichia coli, Yersinia, and others. Each organism causes slightly different symptoms but all result in diarrhea. Colitis, inflammation of the large intestine, may also be present. Some types of acute gastroenteritis will not resolve without antibiotic treatment, especially when bacteria or exposure to parasites are the cause. Physicians may want to diagnose the cause by analyzing a stool sample, when stomach symptoms remain problematic. Dehydration is a lack of water in the body. It can be caused by not drinking enough fluids or by losing fluids because of heat exposure, sweating, vomiting,
diarrhea, or fever. Mild dehydration is easy to treat, but severe, untreated dehydration is a medical emergency.
Signs of dehydration include dry lips and mouth, lack of tears, and -- for infants -fewer than 6 wet diapers in a day, or diapers that seem lighter and less saturated with urine than usual.
Severe dehydration requires emergency treatment. An infant who wont eat or wake up, has a deeply sunken fontanel ('soft spot' in the skull) or eyes, or has very little urine output should be seen by a doctor immediately. Dehydration means that a child's body lacks enough or fluid. any Dehydration combination can of result these from not
drinking, vomiting, diarrhea,
conditions.
Rarely, sweating too much or urinating too much can cause dehydration . Infants and small children are much more likely to become dehydrated than older children or adults, because they can lose relatively more fluid quickly. Worldwide, inadequate treatment of gastroenteritis kills 5 to 8 million people per year and is a leading cause of death among infants and children under 5. The most common symptoms are diarrhea, vomiting and stomach pain, because whatever causes the condition inflames the gastrointestinal tract. Another reason to seek medical treatment is that some forms of acute gastroenteritis mimic appendicitis, which may require emergency treatment. As well, young children run an especially high risk of becoming dehydrated during a long course of the stomach flu. One should receive directions regarding how to help affected kids or adults get more fluids. Sometimes children, those with compromised immune systems, and the2
elderly may require hospitalization and intravenous fluids. Dehydration can actually cause greater nausea, and can begin to cause organ shut down if not properly addressed. Acute gastroenteritis is quite common among children, though it is certainly possible for adults to suffer from it as well. While most cases of gastroenteritis last a few days, acute gastroenteritis can last for weeks and months. Acute gastroenteritis remains a serious health issue, and is responsible for over 50,000 hospitalizations of children. In developing countries, acute
gastroenteritis is the leading cause of death for infants. Acute gastroenteritis should thus be taken seriously, and people should not hesitate to seek medical treatment for especially seniors and children who have been ill for more than a day. In the Philippine Health Statistic, gastroenteritis range as number 10 in the ten leading causes of infant mortality, with the rate of 0.5 and percentage of 4.1 cases in the Philippines by the year 2004 this was updated last February 12, 2008. Locally, In July 22, 2004, the Department of Health (DOH), Philippines declared an epidemic (outbreak) of a water/food-borne disease called acute gastroenteritis in 45 towns in Central Pangasinan. Acute gastroenteritis is a human enteric (intestinal) disease primarily caused by ingestion of spoiled or bacterial contaminated water or food. According to the DOH Secretary, Dr. Manuel Dayrit, a total of 2,778 cases of the said intestinal infection were recorded in just 45 days (from May 31 to July16,3
2004). From the studies on the medical diagnoses of 81 cases, Dayrit concluded that infectious (transmittable) cholera disease was the main cause of the epidemic. (www.doh.gov.ph) Locally, here in Tagum City, at Davao Regional Hospital pediatric department acute gastroenteritis was considered number 3 among the most common pediatric cases. It is common in this area because some of the people are not aware regarding the proper handling and preparation of food. According to Kapalong District Hospital, there are 16 female infants and 29 male infants aged 0-12 months old with acute gastroenteritis with some dehydration confined there from the month of August.
OBJECTIVES A. General Objectives: This study aims to convey familiarity and to provide an effective nursing care to a patient diagnosed with Acute Gastroenteritis through patient history, disease process and management.

IV. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
SALIVARY GLAND Any of the organs that secrete saliva, a substance that moistens and softens food, into the oral cavity of vertebrates. NASAL PASSAGE The walls of the nasal passages are coated with respiratory mucous membranes which contain innumerable tiny hair-like cells that act to move waves of mucus toward the throat. Dust, bacteria, and other particles inhaled from the air are trapped by the mucus in the nose, carried back, swallowed and dropped into the gastric juices to nullify any potential harm they might do. MOUTH The mouth is the beginning of the digestive tract; and, in fact, digestion starts here when taking the first bite of food. Chewing breaks the food into pieces that are more easily30
digested, while saliva mixes with food to begin the process of breaking it down into a form your body can absorb and use. ESOPHAGUS Located in your throat near your trachea (windpipe), the esophagus receives food from your mouth when you swallow. By means of a series of muscular contractions called peristalsis, the esophagus delivers food to your stomach. STOMACH The stomach is a hollow organ, or "container," that holds food while it is being mixed with enzymes that continue the process of breaking down food into a usable form. Cells in the lining of the stomach secrete a strong acid and powerful enzyme that are responsible for the breakdown process. When the contents of the stomach are sufficiently processed, they are released into the small intestine. LIVER A. Location and size of the liver- largest gland in the body, weighs approximately 1.5 kg; lies under the diaphragm; occupies most of the right hypochondrium and part of the epigastrium. B. Liver lobes and lobules- two lobes separated by the falciform ligament 1. Left lobe- forms about one sixth of the liver 2. Right lobe- forms about five sixths of the liver; divides into right lobe proper, caudate lobe, and quadrate lobe
31
3. Hepatic lobules- anatomical units of the liver; small branch of hepatic vein extends through the center of each lobule C. Functions of the liver 1. Glucose Metabolism 2. Ammonia Conversion 3. Protein Metabolism 4. Fat Metabolism 5. Drug Metabolism 6. Bile Formation PANCREAS The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes into the duodenum, the first segment of the small intestine. These enzymes break down protein, fats, and carbohydrates. The pancreas also makes insulin, secreting it directly into the bloodstream. Insulin is the chief hormone for metabolizing sugar.
GALL BLADDER The gall bladder is a pouch-shaped organ which lies near the liver. It accepts bile from the liver, and stores it. When food is digested, the gallbladder releases bile into the small intestine where it is able to help dissolve fats.
32
SMALL INTESTINE Made up of three segments the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum the small intestine is a 22-foot long muscular tube that breaks down food using enzymes released by the pancreas and bile from the liver. LARGE INTESTINE The parts of the food that cant be digested get pushed into the large intestine, also called the colon. It is about 5 feet long. Its function is to move the waste from the small intestine on to the rectum. a. Ascending colon b. Transverse colon c. Sigmoid colon RECTUM The rectum (Latin for "straight") is an 8-inch chamber that connects the colon to the anus. ANUS The anus is the last part of the digestive tract. It is a 2-inch long canal consisting of the pelvic floor muscles and the two anal sphincters (internal and external). The lining of the upper anus is specialized to detect rectal contents.
33
V. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
A. Symptomatology Signs and Symptoms Abdominal pain Present in the patient Rationale The lining of the stomach suffer erosion and perforations, sometimes Nausea and vomiting even bleeding The scarring and narrowing of the passageway of the stomach causes nausea Dry skin and vomiting Caused by dehydration due to N&V. Dry mouth Caused by dehydration due to N&V Sunken eyeballs Caused by dehydration due to N&V.
