The key takeaways are that the patient is experiencing abdominal pain likely due to cholangitis. The nursing care plan aims to manage the patient's pain and discomfort.

The goal is for the patient to be free from pain in the abdomen within 3 hours. The objectives include assessing pain characteristics and factors, assessing for fear/anxiety, identifying causes of discomfort, monitoring pain levels, and assessing willingness to alleviate pain.

Interventions to manage pain include assessing pain, monitoring for discomfort, encouraging relaxation techniques like deep breathing, administering analgesics as prescribed, and noting the patient's response to pain medications.
