Small bowel obstruction   K56.609  Patient presents with small bowel obstruction with a distinct transition point.  Surgery has been consulted.  She brought it is inpatient care.  IV fluid rehydration as well as IV analgesic and antiemetic therapy as needed.  An NG tube will be placed to low intermittent wall suction with serial physical and radiographic examinations for further evaluation.  Will continue to manage conservatively with hopes that we can avoid surgical intervention.   2. Enteritis   K52.9  Noted on CT imaging.  This is noted heavily at the transition point.  This may be the source of her bowel obstruction as she did not have any prior surgeries to yield scar tissue.  She will given IV fluid rehydration.  IV antibiotic therapy.  Will reevaluate clinically.   3. Acute abdominal pain   R10.9  As above noted.  Secondary small bowel obstruction.  Continue allergy therapy and IV fluid rehydration.  Managing a small bowel obstruction as noted above.  Surgical consultation.   4. Hypertension, benign   I10  Blood pressure relatively stable this time.  Patient is n.p.o. for now.  Will hold initiating her home medication.  May require IV medication such as labetalol or enalapril to aid in blood pressure reduction if needed.   5. Mixed hyperlipidemia   E78.2  Noted.  Will hold off statin therapy at this time.   6. Adult onset hypothyroidism   E03.8  Thyroid function testing pending.  Will restart patient's thyroid therapy as soon as capable.
