Question 1 of 5
A patient presents with a 2-day history of abdominal pain, fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. A surgical abdomen is ruled out, and radiography demonstrates inflammation of the small bowel and colon. Microscopy supports a diagnosis of Campylobacter jejuni, and the patient is prepared for discharge from the emergency room. Important patient education includes advising her that
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Campylobacter jejuni is a common bacterial cause of gastroenteritis, typically transmitted through contaminated food, water, or contact with infected animals. Patient education regarding Campylobacter jejuni infection should include advising the patient that the bacteria may be spread for as long as she has diarrhea. It is important for the patient to practice good hand hygiene and take precautions to prevent spreading the infection to others. While most cases of Campylobacter infection are self-limiting and resolve on their own without the need for antibiotics, proper hygiene practices help prevent the spread of the bacteria to others.

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: When the vomiting precedes pain, the likelihood of surgical abdomen increases appreciably. This statement is based on how the timing of symptoms can indicate the severity of the underlying condition. In cases where vomiting occurs before the onset of abdominal pain, it can be a sign of a more serious issue requiring urgent medical attention, such as a surgical abdomen. This sequence of symptoms suggests that there may be an obstruction or other critical issue in the gastrointestinal tract that is leading to the symptoms of vomiting and pain. Therefore, recognizing the relationship between the timing of symptoms like abdominal pain and vomiting is crucial in determining the urgency of intervention and appropriate medical management.
