It is done to rule out the presence or absence of ova or intestinal parasite. The doctor may order and say O & P x 3 days. This means 3 consecutive bowel movements in 3 consecutive days. Keep the sample warm and urine free (NCLEX question). You can refrigerate if you can’t run to the lab right away.
If the patient does not go to the bath room everyday how would you check for the stool? If he goes every other day like M W F, then collect the sample M W F. If patient only have bowel 2 x a week M TH then, collect on Monday and Thursday.
Tell the patient if he is waiting for the stool collection to check for parasite, if she is on antibiotic therapy (ABT), that she needs to stop it 7-10 days before starting the stool collection. Antibiotic does not kill the parasite but what happens the parasites gets into hiding.
Tell patient that if he is taking mineral oil or peptobismol, not to take it and don’t schedule for barium enema before collecting stool for Ova and Parasite.

I really love shopping. Even if I do not have enough budget to buy something, I really enjoyed looking at the things that interest me. Of course, I always automatically look what is the item sales of that day or week.

I went to India for six weeks. I went to visit my dear friend. I really had a great time there. The times I spent with my friend were priceless. I left my laptop computer at our house to be used for the great event in our church. One of the first things I did when I came back is to check my computer. I was so surprised when I found out that the remaining space of my computer memory is only 20 GB. After I do the desk clean up the free memory is now 70GB.

The patient drinks barium under fluoroscopy. The patient should be in a special procedure room. He will be observed as the barium goes down. The purpose of his is to determine any problems or abnormalities in the stomach and also to observe the emptying time of the stomach, and to check for ulceration.
Our nursing responsibilities:
*Put the patient on NPO after midnight because we want the stomach to be empty when the patient swallows the barium. We want to look the full outside of the gastric cavity or the contour. If food is present see the contour.
*Tell the patient that she will drink a barium solution
*Tell the patient that the first time she will go to the bathroom after the procedure, you want to see it, or tell him not to flush the toilet let the nurse see it first to see the color of the stool. If the patient does flush the toilet, what you should do is ask him what the color of the stool was. If the color is white- it is good. It means the patient is flushing the solution out.
*If the patient does not pass out the barium and it stays within him, the barium turns to rock solid stone in the intestines.

I just remembered one incident of the place where I work. A large amount of money was taken out from our office. The cabinet drawer was destroyed as well as the cash drawer. It was not fun. All of us living in that place felt so nervous and unsecured. After that the security of our place were tighten and all of us make sure to be vigilant at all times.

Endoscopy is also known as esophagogastroduodenoscopy. The purpose of this procedure is to observe or know if there are ulceration or tumor in the esophagus, gastric cavity or duodenum.
Our nursing responsibilities are:
*Understand the procedure.
*Put the patient on NPO 6-8 hours before the procedure. If the patient eats we can’t see the stomach, we can see lots of food chime in there. After the test is done, the patient is not allowed to eat or drink immediately because he was given medication to numb his throat. Should wait for the gag reflex to return before she can eat or drink to prevent aspiration.
*Check for gag reflex
*Check any dysphagia and bleeding
*Tell the patient once the gag reflex returns he will be given a warm saline to gurgle. We avoid giving them narcotics with this procedure because the pain does go away very quickly.
