Chief Complaint

“I’ve been having increasing stomach pain.”

HPI

Myrna Cook is a 54-year-old woman who presents to the ED

complaining of increasing abdominal cramping for several days.

Her last bowel movement was 6 days ago. She began “not feeling

well” 4 days ago, with some mild chills, bloating, decreased appetite,

and fatigue. She reports no fever, N/V, CP, or SOB. She reports that

yesterday, when her cramping was at its worst, she used magnesium

citrate, Miralax, and Fleet enema but still had no bowel movement.

She states that she typically has daily bowel movements, with no

straining, and spends less than 10 minutes, with little effort, having

 

a bowel movement. She reports having a similar episode approxi-

mately 1 year ago; however, at that time her symptoms responded

 

to magnesium citrate and Miralax. She does not use stool softeners
