Justification She has already a 1 year background of intermittent pain on her abdomen and lately, she is having difficulty and inability to defecate. The physician believes that symptoms develop gradually in time. She was not diagnosed immediately since she doesnt have regular check-ups. It is not clear when was obstruction started and how she acquired the tumor causing obstruction and such manifestations. It is fair since she practices healthy lifestyle by eating fruits and vegetables. She doesnt have any vices like smoking and drinking alcohol. However, the real factors arent clear of what aids in developing obstruction caused by the tumor. When she found out what her condition is, all she desires is for her cure and recovery. She gives her trust to the health care providers and is willing to cooperate with every procedure and follows what the physician is saying. She is also complying with the medications prescribed for her. She is at higher risk because age is a predisposing factor that may lead in having intestinal obstruction. She wants a clean environment especially at their house. With that, she does household chores to maintain neat and organized surroundings. She is well loved and supported by her husband, children, and grandchildren. She has a close relationship among them.
