It is also identified that the boy also has the history of bloated abdomen and his family andsocial history is related with this (Kangasniemi and et. al., 2013). Thus, in this respect lookingtowards the case scenario, health care practitioners need to emphasize on maintainingconfidentiality and secrecy at the time of addressing patient’s problems. Further, it is alsoidentified that the patient is having right lower abdomen pain, nausea and lethargy and his past
history is also related to these aspects.
