Clinical manifestations associated with a tumor of the head of the pancreas include:

*clay-colored stools *dark urine *jaundice

Nursing measures for pain relief for acute pancreatitis include:

*encouraging bed rest to decrease the metabolic rate *teaching the patient about the correlation between alcohol intake and pain *withholding oral feelings to limit the release of secretin
