Sharon Faulkner is a 42-year-old woman being seen in a community clinic with abdominal pain. She tells the nurse the pain she is experiencing in her right upper abdomen feels like a knife and that it goes all the way to her shoulder. She is also very nauseous. She tells the nurse that she is exhausted and has not slept for three nights because the pain keeps her awake. The nurse observes dark circles under Sharon's eyes. Her vital signs are as follows: blood pressure, 132/90 mm Hg; heart rate, 104 beats/min; respiratory rate, 22 breaths/min; temperature, 101.8°F (38.8°C). A complete blood count laboratory test reveals that Sharon has an elevated white blood cell count. She lies on the examination table in a fetal position and tells the nurse that it hurts too much for her to get up and move.
