It is explained to the mother that she should have support at home for care of baby and herself since she is recovering from major surgery (Murray & Mckin-ney, 2014, p.343). Normally the staples are removed before discharged if not they are removed by the healthcare provider after discharge. If adhesive strips or a topical skin adhesive is used, she can shower without any issues. The incision is closed with all methods, and should not come apart. The incision should have little to no drainage, and she should call the provider if she notic-es it separate or if drainage increases or it has a foul smell (Murray & Mckinney, 2014, p.344). Signs and symptoms that should be reported to a health care provider after discharge include the following: a fever, any localized area of redness, swelling, or pain in breast. Any persistent ab-dominal tenderness, pelvic fullness or pressure. Any perineal pain, or frequency, urgency or burn-ing during urination, and abnormal change in lochia.

This is when the body has a low amount of bacteria and a sensativity to bacteria that cause the immune system to not be as strong, therefore making them more likely to both get and stay sick.

Dysphagia is defined as a difficulty moving food from the mouth to the stomach. Dysphagia can come and go or slowly worsen over time depending on the other disorders present. When a person has a cerebrovascular accident (CVA), dysphasia can appear and later go away. If a progressive neurological impairment is the cause of the dysphagia, the swallowing problems can worsen over time and never go away (Logemann, 1998). Dysphagia is a commonly diagnosed for at least a short time after a CVA has occurred and individuals are more likely to aspirate liquids with a lower viscosity (Murray et al. 2016).

Early dumping syndrome (EDS) occurs between 30 to 60 minutes after a person has eaten. It has been long suggested that EDS symptoms happen due to hyperosmolar gastric content in the small intestinal lumen causing fluid to be pulled from the intravascular compartment and into the small bowel lumen. This fluid shift causes rapid distension of the small bowel, which leads to associated symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea, nausea and abdominal pain. There is also an increase in the number of bowel

Dyspepsia also known as indigestion is a discomfort in the upper abdomen that occurs either during or right after eating. Dyspepsia is sometimes confused with heartburn because some of the symptoms of dyspepsia are a burning heat or pain between the breastbone and naval area which is the same as heartburn. Other symptoms include an uncomfortable fullness that happens during the meal or immediately after the meal. Some uncommon symptoms are bloating and nausea. Dyspepsia, indigestion, is not considered a serious health problem but when coupled with other symptoms such as bleeding, weight loss, or difficulty swallowing then it is a sign of a serious health problem. On average dyspepsia occurs within one out of every four adults and in half of that population can be classified as functional dyspepsia.

Also, phosphoric acid interacts with the stomach's acid production causing slower digestion rates, and the blocking of nutrient absorption.

Whipple procedure is a surgery to remove the head of the pancreas. The pancreas is a large gland located behind your stomach. It helps digest food and produces hormones that regulate blood sugar. The head of the pancreas is the part that is next to the upper part of the small intestine (duodenum). The remaining part of the pancreas is then connected to the small intestine. A Whipple procedure may be necessary due to a pancreas infection (chronic pancreatitis) or pancreatic cancer.
