General Instructions 

The purpose of this discussion is to examine an assigned disease process and determine which disease process explored in the discussion Bayani, the client, is experiencing. Follow the instructions below and your faculty member will reveal which disease process Bayani is experiencing at the end of the discussion week. 

Step 1: Review the following client scenario: 

Bayani, a 62-year-old male client, presents to the NP with abdominal pain with his wife. Bayani is mildly confused, and according to his wife, he is normally fully oriented. His abdomen is soft and non-distended, and his wife states he has been urinating and drinking more water than usual. She also states he has had foul-smelling urine and is concerned he also has a urinary tract infection.
