Question 1 of 5

The nurse is assessing a client with suspected appendicitis. Which test should the nurse perform to confirm the diagnosis?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Rovsing's sign (pain in the right lower quadrant with left-sided pressure) and psoas sign (pain with leg extension) support an appendicitis diagnosis.

Question 2 of 5

A 24-year-old client has been diagnosed with acute osteomyelitis in the left leg. He complains of acute pain in the leg that intensifies when he moves it.

Based on this information, which of the following nursing diagnoses would be most appropriate for this client?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Activity intolerance due to severe pain is the most appropriate diagnosis, as pain limits mobility. Amputation is not indicated, body image is secondary, and fever does not directly cause fluid volume deficit.
