Mr. Steve is 25 years old, caucasian, and physically fit. He wanted to travel alone before pursuing his career since he just graduated from college. His first destination is the Banaue Rice Terraces. He arrived in Ifugao with much hospitality from the locals. He was invited to attend a traditional Cordilleran wedding. Since he like foreign and exotic dishes, he tried the local soup dish pinikpikan with etag. Later on he was offered a "local" delicacy to pair with the rice wine tapuy. He was enjoying the taste of the "local" delicacy and was asking for the recipe but the locals just laughed and told him that it is a secret. The next day, he went on his hiking to the rice terraces and was amazed by the view. The local guide asked him if he would like to visit Tappiya Falls before going back to his accommodation which he gladly agreed on. Since it is his first time going to the place, he already drank all of his water. The local guide pointed a clear shallow portion of a stream to fill his water bottle. He was assured by the local guide that the water is safe for drinking because they usually obtain drinking water from the same spot. He enjoyed his trip up in the mountains. The next day he departed for La Union. His second destination is the beaches in La Union. Upon arriving, he immediately went swimming and surfing. The resort also has parties being held at night. He drank Filipino made beer which he found to be very strong but of good taste. The pairing offered to him was barbecued pork and grilled milkfish which he also liked. He was totally wasted after drinking a few bottles and went to his room. During the day, he is enjoying his time in the beach and at night he was partying. On the fourth day in La Union, he feels that he is bloated. He has foul smelling watery red stool which floats in the toilet water. He thought that it was just because of the party last night and the alcohol is not sitting well in his system. After a few hours he felt nauseous and vomited. He is experiencing pain in his abdominal region in the form of spasms. Because of the pain he will rush to the toilet to defecate in the hope that it will go away. But, the cycle of nausea, vomiting, abdominal spasms, and diarrhea. By nightfall he was weakened by his condition and asked the hotel staff to get him to the hospital. Question: 1.What diagnostic procedures should be used to confirm the clinical impression?
