Answer:

a. Peptic ulcer

Explanation :

As the patient is presenting with nocturnal abdominal pains alongwith blood in the stools , it strongly suggests that he is suffering from peptic ulcer disease.

Dull or aching pain is most common symptom; classic complaint of epigastric pain relieved by eating is not typical in pediatric population... sx often persist for several years before dx

Almost 50% of patients suffering from peptic ulcer disease also have melena ( hemoptysis )

lianna [129]

Answer:

Some of the views raised are Time limitation, cost, security of data, the need for training and multi-tasking, lack of trust on service providers.

The support of my assertions is explained more in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution

It would be very difficult for small practices to embrace EMR and, potentially, HMIS  due to the following reasons:-

  • Time is a limited: Physicians need time to get properly  trained in making use of  EMR. They have this believe that, there's a  cost  of opportunity fix to it.
  • The Lack of trust on the service provider: Most physicians don't have the belief and total trust of the EMR and HMIS service provider.
  • The  cost: The cost of  putting together IT systems to embrace EMR and HMIS are forbidden. The small practices would be concerned if they gain huge capital investments and are not able to get back returns.
  • The process of complexity: There are several screens available on EMR. The navigation process could be very difficult for some physicians.  
  • Data security: Some of the data of the patient is not safe, because of this some physicians are worried about it's security. so if  the data is lost and not secured,, the practice might be held for that.
  • The need for and multitasking and training: The physicians need to hear from  the patient, think about the possible line of probe,  by type into a computer at one click. Not every physician would have a  good typing skills.  For this, they don't want to fall into this set up.
