Answer:

As frank is a chronic drinker and symptoms match the diagnosis of Acute pancreatitis,

I would consider that frank is suffering from pancreatitis.

Treatment modalities:

As management of pancreatitis is directed towards relieving symptoms and preventing or treating complications

- Adequate administration of analgesia

- ill patient is maintained on bed rest to decrease the metabolic rate and reduce the secretion of pancreatic and gastric enzymes

- maintain semifowlers position to decrease pressure on diaphragm by distended abdomen and to increase respiratory expansion.

- patient is at risk for akin breakdown because of poor nutritional status, enforced bed rest and restlessness, so the nurse carefully assess for akin breakdown and infection
