The client presents to the Emergency room with complaints of fever and chills. She is a 57 year old with a past medical history of stage 2 adenocarcinoma of the descending colon who had a bowel resection and creation of a colostomy 10 weeks ago. She has an implanted port in the left chest wall where she has been receiving her chemotherapy. The client states that she has not been able to “eat much” due to nausea and sores in her mouth. Upon assessment, the nurse notes the client is very pale, with dry mucus membranes. An inspection of her oral cavities reveals scattered open lesions throughout the oral cavity. The implanted port to the left chest wall is not currently accessed. Lung sounds are diminished bilaterally, and the client has a persistent cough. Bowel sounds are hypo active and the abdomen is soft. The stoma is pink and moist and there is a lack of school in the colostomy appliance. The client is admitted to the medical floor.
