NSG 6435 Pediatric Week 6 discussion - South University Which essential questions will you ask a pediatric patient or his or her caregiver when the presenting complaint is bloody diarrhea? Comp... laint of bloody diarrhea from a patient or parent requires further investigation. The provider should be sure to clarify what the parent means by diarrhea. Diarrhea is stool that is frequent and watery in consistency. Murphy (2008) recommends assessing the severity, other associated symptoms, and signs or symptoms of a possible systemic illness or abdominal complications. Ask about acuteness or chronicity of the bleeding, color and quantity of the blood in the stools. Inquire about other symptoms such as history of straining, abdominal pain, and trauma. Elicit a history of foods consumed or drugs used that may give stool a bloody appearance. The list includes certain antibiotics, iron supplements, red licorice, chocolate, Kool-Aid, flavored gelatin, or bismuth containing products (Wolfram & Minkes, 2017). [Show More]
