The document discusses a patient experiencing abdominal pain and the nurse's assessment, diagnosis, plan of care, interventions and evaluation of the patient's response.

The patient complained of abdominal pain rated at 8/10 for the past 8 hours. Upon assessment, the nurse noted facial grimacing, guarding behavior, abdominal distension and body weakness, indicating acute pain possibly due to gastrointestinal bleeding.

The nurse applied pain management interventions like administering pain medications as ordered, encouraging compliance to therapeutic interventions, reducing anxiety and stress, including the patient and family in care planning, and encouraging adequate rest.
