Hey everyone! I am doing my first concept map and am stumped about what to put as my client's pathophysiology. The client was admitted with nausea, diarrhea and abdominal pain (unable to be specific about pain and what makes it worse or better.) The client was in the hospital for a day will all normal blood values and laps. All diagnostic tests were negative. The nurses and doctor believed the client was faking symptoms because not only did they appear to be in perfect health, but no vomiting or diarrhea was occurring.
I've already stretched this concept map as much as I can but I got nothing for the patho. Because there was no found cause for her complaints I have no clue what to put! Would unknown pathology be acceptable?
