Discussion Questions

  1. Based on the data above, what do you suspect is occurring with E.G.? What assessment data led you to this conclusion?

  1. What additional test(s) may be ordered to confirm this diagnosis?

  1. E.G. has an ultrasound, and the presence of a large right renal calculus is confirmed. The health care provider orders E.G. IV Morphine sulfate for pain and recommends that he have a right extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL). Explain this procedure.

  1. What factors put E.G. at risk for developing a renal calculus?

  1. What teaching should E.G. receive prior to his being discharged?
