I. INTRODUCTION
A head nurse is the one who assumes responsibility for managing the
Human and Material resources of a nursing unit and takes lead in
developing to provide quality patient care and environment conductive
to staff growth and satisfaction.
As the end comes near in our student life, let us be cautious that it is
not enough that we mastered the different technical aspects of nursing
but it is also important is that how I value my patients and my peers.
Let us put this in mind that these people will help us grow and be
successful in our work. After this experience, I will be able to see our
limitations and things we are capable to do as a nurse and as a leader
of the group.

CMC Vision
CMC Mission
The Capitol Medical Center is dedicated to the delivery of total quality health
care services in partnership with competent and ethical physicians,
professionals and staff utilizing internationally accepted technology,
facilitates and systems.
CMCHistory
For 35 years, Capitol Medical Center has been one of the leaders in providing
the best in health care delivery. Founded and incorporated March 13, 1973
by Dr. Thelma N. Clemente, her husband, Luis C. Clemente and close friends
and associates, Capitol Medical Center was envisioned by the founders to be
the perfect balance of modern medical technology and personalized quality
patient care.
The support and efficiency of the medical staff and employees combined
with the acumen of the management, proved to be essential in overcoming
obstacles and difficulties in its early years. Imbued with these core values,
the staff set out to work and CMC immediately posted tremendous growth.
Therefore, expansion in terms of space, facilities and services increased. In
1973 and 1974 purchase of adjacent lots was made. And in 1975,
construction of the CMC Building was finished with additional beds available
for patients. Consequently, the working areas of the departments were
enlarged to accommodate new equipment and increased workload. During
this time, Capitol Medical Center made its mark as a pioneer in the Philippine
medical industry with the distinction of having the first successful kidney
transplant. It also established the first and only Spine Care Center in the
country.
5
The following decade saw the need for more space as patient admissions
doubled from previous years. Thus, CMC III Building was constructed. CMC III
houses both the Comprehensive Out Patient Center and the different doctors'
clinics.
As we head towards the new millenium, the ever increasing desire of Capitol
Medical Center to provide the best care for its patients evolved with the
construction of the CMC IV Building, with more bed space, bigger and better
state-of-the-art facilities and doctors' clinics for optimum services. Capitol
Medical Center continues its commitment to uphold health care excellence in
the coming years. And with the quality of service from the dedicated men
and women working as one, CMC assures you that it will continue to be the
top health care provider in the community where it belongs.
CMCC VISION
An excellent learner-centered institution fostering globally competent health
professionals in the service of humanity.

Introduction
Gastroenteritis
Gastroenteritis (also known as gastric flu or stomach flu, although unrelated to influenza) is
inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, involving both the stomach and the small intestine and
resulting in acute diarrhea. It can be transferred by contact with contaminated food and water.
The inflammation is caused most often by an infection from certain viruses or less often
by bacteria, their toxins, parasites, or an adverse reaction to something in the diet or medication.
Current death rates have come down significantly to approximately 1.5 million deaths annually in
the year 2000, largely due to the global introduction of oral rehydration therapy[1] and is a leading
cause of death among infants and children under 5.
At least 50% of cases of gastroenteritis due to foodborne illness are caused by norovirus. Another
20% of cases, and the majority of severe cases in children, are due to rotavirus. Other significant
viral agents include adenovirus[4] and astrovirus.
111
different symptoms but all result in diarrhea. Colitis, inflammation of the large intestine, may also
be present.
Risk factors include consumption of improperly prepared foods or contaminated water and travel
or residence in areas of poor sanitation. It is also common for river swimmers to become infected
during times of rain as a result of contaminated runoff water.
Objectives
General Objective
Acute Gastroenteritis as a case study will provide people with
knowledge and deeper understanding of underlying causes of disease and
different exogenous and endogenous factors that increases the risk of
developing this disease. It will also serve as an opportunity for nurses to
recognize the required nursing care for clients and serve as a lead as they
provide health teaching and present instructional materials focusing on the
prevention of disease.
Specific Objective
- Know the cause of the disease and how does it affect the patient’s
health status.

Gastrointestinal Tract
Basic structure
The gastrointestinal tract is a muscular tube lined by a special layer of cells, called
epithelium. The contents of the tube are considered external to the body and are in
continuity with the outside world at the mouth and the anus. Although each section
of the tract has specialised functions, the entire tract has a similar basic structure
with regional variations.
Mucosa
The innermost layer of the digestive tract has specialised epithelial cells supported
by an underlying connective tissue layer called the lamina propria. The lamina
propria contains blood vessels, nerves, lymphoid tissue and glands that support the
mucosa. Depending on its function, the epithelium may be simple (a single layer) or
stratified (multiple layers).
128
Areas such as the mouth and oesophagus are covered by a stratified squamous (flat)
epithelium so they can survive the wear and tear of passing food. Simple columnar
(tall) or glandular epithelium lines the stomach and intestines to aid secretion and
absorption. The inner lining is constantly shed and replaced, making it one of the
most rapidly dividing areas of the body! Beneath the lamina propria is the muscularis
mucosa. This comprises layers of smooth muscle which can contract to change the
shape of the lumen.
Submucosa
The submucosa surrounds the muscularis mucosa and consists of fat, fibrous
connective tissue and larger vessels and nerves. At its outer margin there is a
specialized nerve plexus called the submucosal plexus or Meissner plexus. This
supplies the mucosa and submucosa.
Muscularis externa
This smooth muscle layer has inner circular and outer longitudinal layers of muscle
fibres separated by the myenteric plexus or Auerbach plexus. Neural innervations
control the contraction of these muscles and hence the mechanical breakdown and
peristalsis of the food within the lumen.
Serosa/mesentery
The outer layer of the GIT is formed by fat and another layer of epithelial cells called
mesothelium.
Oral cavity
The oral cavity or mouth is responsible for the intake of food. It is lined by a stratified
squamous oral mucosa with keratin covering those areas subject to significant
abrasion, such as the tongue, hard palate and roof of the mouth. Mastication refers to
the mechanical breakdown of food by chewing and chopping actions of the teeth. The
tongue, a strong muscular organ, manipulates the food bolus to come in contact with
the teeth. It is also the sensing organ of the mouth for touch, temperature and taste
using its specialised sensors known as papillae.
Insalivation refers to the mixing of the oral cavity contents with salivary gland
secretions. The mucin (a glycoprotein) in saliva acts as a lubricant. The oral cavity
129
also plays a limited role in the digestion of carbohydrates. The enzyme serum
amylase, a component of saliva, starts the process of digestion of complex
carbohydrates. The final function of the oral cavity is absorption of small molecules
such as glucose and water, across the mucosa. From the mouth, food passes through
the pharynx and oesophagus via the action of swallowing.
Salivary glands
Three pairs of salivary glands communicate with the oral cavity. Each is a complex
gland with numerous acini lined by secretory epithelium. The acini secrete their
contents into specialised ducts. Each gland is divided into smaller segments called
lobes. Salivation occurs in response to the taste, smell or even appearance of food.
This occurs due to nerve signals that tell the salivary glands to secrete saliva to
prepare and moisten the mouth. Each pair of salivary glands secretes saliva with
slightly different compositions.
Parotids
The parotid glands are large, irregular shaped glands located under the skin on the
side of the face. They secrete 25% of saliva. They are situated below the zygomatic
arch (cheekbone) and cover part of the mandible (lower jaw bone). An enlarged
parotid gland can be easier felt when one clenches their teeth. The parotids produce
a watery secretion which is also rich in proteins. Immunoglobins are secreted help to
fight microorganisms and a-amylase proteins start to break down complex
carbohydrates.
Submandibular
The submandibular glands secrete 70% of the saliva in the mouth. They are found in
the floor of the mouth, in a groove along the inner surface of the mandible. These
glands produce a more viscid (thick) secretion, rich in mucin and with a smaller
amount of protein. Mucin is a glycoprotein that acts as a lubricant.
Sublingual
The sublinguals are the smallest salivary glands, covered by a thin layer of tissue at
the floor of the mouth. They produce approximately 5% of the saliva and their
secretions are very sticky due to the large concentration of mucin. The main
functions are to provide buffers and lubrication.
Oesophagus
130
The oesophagus is a muscular tube of approximately 25cm in length and 2cm in
diameter. It extends from the pharynx to the stomach after passing through an
opening in the diaphragm. The wall of the oesophagus is made up of inner circular
and outer longitudinal layers of muscle that are supplied by the oesophageal nerve
plexus. This nerve plexus surrounds the lower portion of the oesophagus. The
oesophagus functions primarily as a transport medium between compartments.
Stomach
The stomach is a J shaped expanded bag, located just left of the midline between the
oesophagus and small intestine. It is divided into four main regions and has two
borders called the greater and lesser curvatures. The first section is the cardia which
surrounds the cardial orifice where the oesophagus enters the stomach. The fundus
is the superior, dilated portion of the stomach that has contact with the left dome of
the diaphragm. The body is the largest section between the fundus and the curved
portion of the J.
This is where most gastric glands are located and where most mixing of the food
occurs. Finally the pylorus is the curved base of the stomach. Gastric contents are
expelled into the proximal duodenum via the pyloric sphincter. The inner surface of
the stomach is contracted into numerous longitudinal folds called rugae. These allow
the stomach to stretch and expand when food enters. The stomach can hold up to
1.5 litres of material. The functions of the stomach include:
Small intestine
The small intestine is composed of the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. It averages
approximately 6m in length, extending from the pyloric sphincter of the stomach to
the ileo-caecal valve separating the ileum from the caecum. The small intestine is
compressed into numerous folds and occupies a large proportion of the abdominal
cavity.
131
The duodenum is the proximal C-shaped section that curves around the head of the
pancreas. The duodenum serves a mixing function as it combines digestive
secretions from the pancreas and liver with the contents expelled from the stomach.
The start of the jejunum is marked by a sharp bend, the duodenojejunal flexure. It is
in the jejunum where the majority of digestion and absorption occurs. The final
portion, the ileum, is the longest segment and empties into the caecum at the
ileocaecal junction.
The small intestine performs the majority of digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Partly digested food from the stomach is further broken down by enzymes from the
pancreas and bile salts from the liver and gallbladder. These secretions enter the
duodenum at the Ampulla of Vater. After further digestion, food constituents such as
proteins, fats, and carbohydrates are broken down to small building blocks and
absorbed into the body's blood stream.
The lining of the small intestine is made up of numerous permanent folds called
plicae circulares. Each plica has numerous villi (folds of mucosa) and each villus is
covered by epithelium with projecting microvilli (brush border). This increases the
surface area for absorption by a factor of several hundred. The mucosa of the small
intestine contains several specialised cells. Some are responsible for absorption,
whilst others secrete digestive enzymes and mucous to protect the intestinal lining
from digestive actions.
Large intestine
The large intestine is horse-shoe shaped and extends around the small intestine like
a frame. It consists of the appendix, caecum, ascending, transverse, descending and
sigmoid colon, and the rectum. It has a length of approximately 1.5m and a width of
7.5cm.
The caecum is the expanded pouch that receives material from the ileum and starts
to compress food products into faecal material. Food then travels along the colon.
The wall of the colon is made up of several pouches (haustra) that are held under
tension by three thick bands of muscle (taenia coli).
The rectum is the final 15cm of the large intestine. It expands to hold faecal matter
before it passes through the anorectal canal to the anus. Thick bands of muscle,
known as sphincters, control the passage of faeces.
The mucosa of the large intestine lacks villi seen in the small intestine. The mucosal
surface is flat with several deep intestinal glands. Numerous goblet cells line the
132
glands that secrete mucous to lubricate faecal matter as it solidifies. The functions of
the large intestine can be summarised as:
2. Some digestion by bacteria. The bacteria are responsible for the formation of
intestinal gas.
Liver
The liver is a large, reddish-brown organ situated in the right upper quadrant of the
abdomen. It is surrounded by a strong capsule and divided into four lobes namely the
right, left, caudate and quadrate lobes. The liver has several important functions. It
acts as a mechanical filter by filtering blood that travels from the intestinal system. It
detoxifies several metabolites including the breakdown of bilirubin and oestrogen. In
addition, the liver has synthetic functions, producing albumin and blood clotting
factors. However, its main roles in digestion are in the production of bile and
metabolism of nutrients. All nutrients absorbed by the intestines pass through the
liver and are processed before traveling to the rest of the body. The bile produced by
cells of the liver, enters the intestines at the duodenum. Here, bile salts break down
lipids into smaller particles so there is a greater surface area for digestive enzymes
to act.
Gall bladder
The gallbladder is a hollow, pear shaped organ that sits in a depression on the
posterior surface of the liver's right lobe. It consists of a fundus, body and neck. It
empties via the cystic duct into the biliary duct system. The main functions of the gall
bladder are storage and concentration of bile. Bile is a thick fluid that contains
enzymes to help dissolve fat in the intestines. Bile is produced by the liver but stored
in the gallbladder until it is needed. Bile is released from the gall bladder by
contraction of its muscular walls in response to hormone signals from the duodenum
in the presence of food.
Pancreas
Finally, the pancreas is a lobular, pinkish-grey organ that lies behind the stomach. Its
head communicates with the duodenum and its tail extends to the spleen. The organ
is approximately 15cm in length with a long, slender body connecting the head and
tail segments. The pancreas has both exocrine and endocrine functions. Endocrine
133
refers to production of hormones which occurs in the Islets of Langerhans. The Islets
produce insulin, glucagon and other substances and these are the areas damaged in
diabetes mellitus. The exocrine (secretrory) portion makes up 80-85% of the
pancreas and is the area relevant to the gastrointestinal tract.
It is made up of numerous acini (small glands) that secrete contents into ducts which
eventually lead to the duodenum. The pancreas secretes fluid rich in carbohydrates
and inactive enzymes. Secretion is triggered by the hormones released by the
duodenum in the presence of food. Pancreatic enzymes include carbohydrases,
lipases, nucleases and proteolytic enzymes that can break down different
components of food. These are secreted in an inactive form to prevent digestion of
the pancreas itself. The enzymes become active once they reach the duodenum.

After the hardships and trials that we faced during our head nursing duty, it is
now the time to relax and chill for a moment as we are about to be separated
from our beloved Clinical Instructor, Ma`am Dela Torre. We surely had a fun
and knowledgeable experience during our Head Nursing Duty.

Learning Insights
There are many things that I’ve learned during our duty in 7A, not
just in the field of nursing but also lessons in life. As a nurse you
should be well – rounded, you should be equipped with knowledge,
skills, patience, good time - management and a characteristic of a
good leader. A wise man once said, “The leader is the one who
shows the way, leads the way, and knows the way”. In a span of one
month I can say that my skills as a leader has somehow improve and
I’ve become more mature not just physically, but also emotionally
and intellectually.
