I wasn't expecting anyone to do my assignment for me 'sweetheart' I was only asking if I was on the right track about the loss of blood! And the first person answered that for me straight away and I've continued and finished it now.....

Sorry to confirm* this suspicion of carcinoma in situ.

Yes sorry the last bit of the case study says 'a suspected carcinoma in situ' and yes other parts of the assignment are what diagnostic test will be done to treat this and what results would you need to see and also what treatment and medication therapy will he receive.

Awesome that helped heaps and just made my mind start thinking deeper! Thank you so much!

Thanks. The case study its self is to diagnose a patient, it says ' a man has been admitted to your ward following a gp visit he has shortness of breath, pale and history of weight loss, night sweats, melaena and irregular bowel movements. He is a smoker. His obversations on admission are temp 36, pulse 104, resps 30, blood pressure 90/60, and oxygen saturation 90%' it came with a few different questions but one was to explain his observations and why they are what they are. I related it back to anemia being common in colon cancer patients due to loss of red blood cells but just wasn't sure if that was correct as I'm still pretty new to this.

Hi, im first year nursing student and just want some help with a case study assignment im doing. I need a nurses opinion. my case study is about a man coming in with all symptoms that point to colon cancer, his blood pressure is low, pulse high and respiration high. can anyone help me with why his pulse rate and respiration's would be high in relation to his colon cancer? would it be because of loss of red blood cells?
