Myocardial infarction (chest pain),pulmonary embolism (shortness of breath),adynamic ileus (lack of bowel sounds or flatus),and renal failure (urine output of 20 mL/6 hr)are just some of the complications for which the nurse must assess the client after the Whipple procedure.Clay-colored stools are associated with cholecystitis and are not a complication of a Whipple procedure.
