First-Aid for Abdominal Pains, Dyspepsia? Refrain Intakes of Gastric Irritants
As a nurse, I look forward to our patients’ wellness and stability. I perform my duties and responsibilities to help minimize or even relieve patients’ conditions or if not, at least NOT to aggraviate and prolong patients’ sufferings. It is very crucial for me, as a clinic nurse, to do whatever I could for the sake of my patients’ health. Being alone in the clinic with a patient suffering from severe pain is not easy. And bringing him to the hospital was just my last resort.
In addition, I instructed the patient to restrict acidic foods and drinks from his diet, to refrain from caffeine, and other gastric irritants. The patient said that he eats on time and doesn’t smoke.
Just this morning, the said patient came in to the clinic and said he’s fine — what a relief! — though he the pain recurred yesterday but he’s already able to manage it.
Life of a graveyard shift nurse could never be more fun and more challenging than this!
