A 70-year-old man presents to the Urgent Care Center complaining of rectal bleeding and abdominal pain. He states that he has some nausea and pain when he eats solid food but feels better after he has a bowel movement. He has a
history of diverticulosis. The physician orders a colonoscopy for the next day. The discharge diagnosis is diverticulitis
with hemorrhage.
1. What is the difference between diverticulosis and diverticulitis?
2. Why do you think the colonoscopy would be done the following day and not immediately?
3. Why is it important to find the cause of the rectal bleeding?

Explanation:

1)Diverticulosis occurs when small, bulging pouches (diverticula) develop in your digestive tract. When one or more of these pouches become inflamed or infected, the condition is called diverticulitis.

2)As a result, the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons recommend performing a colonoscopy to exclude a potential malignancy after an episode of acute diverticulitis has resolved. ... Routine follow-up colonoscopy may no longer be required in patients with acute diverticulitis

You'll need someone to take you home because it can take up to a day for the full effects of the sedative to wear off. Don't drive or make important decisions or go back to work for the rest of the day. If your doctor removed a polyp during your colonoscopy, you may be advised to eat a special diet temporarily

3) when bleeding that lasts longer than 2 or 3 weeks. children with bloody stool or rectal bleeding. unexplained weight loss, fatigue, or weakness as well.
