He states he was at home when he noticed a large amount of red blood in his stool. He is not experiencing any pain and otherwise feels well. The patient has a past medical history of diabetes and obesity. His temperature is 98.9F 37.2C, blood pressure is 14788 mmHg, pulse is 90min, respirations are 13min, and oxygen saturation is 98 on room air. Physical exam reveals a non-distressed man. His abdomen is non-tender, and he has normoactive bowel sounds. Stool guaiac test is positive for blood. The patient is started on IV fluids and kept nil per os. His next bowel movement 4 hours later appears grossly normal. Which of the following interventions will most likely reduce future complications in this patient?? A: Ciprofloxacin and metronidazole, B: Increase fiber and fluid intake, C: Reduce red meat consumption, D: Sigmoid colon resection, E: Sitz baths,  <response>: This is a question about managing a patient with lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Based on the information provided, this appears to be an acute episode of bleeding that has resolved. The patient is hemodynamically stable and the bleeding has stopped, so no emergent intervention is needed. The goal now is to reduce the risk of future bleeding episodes. Increasing fiber and fluid intake can help prevent constipation and straining, which reduces mechanical trauma to the colon. Reducing red meat intake may help lower risk of colon cancer or diverticulitis over time. Antibiotics are not indicated unless there is concern for infection. Sigmoid resection would be overly aggressive given this was a single episode of bleeding that resolved. Sitz baths may help with symptomatic relief but do not reduce future complications. Therefore, the best answer is to recommend dietary changes to prevent constipation and further mechanical trauma.B: Increase fiber and fluid intake
