Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Anxiety and sleeplessness can contribute to the risk of delirium and prolonged length of stay for the patient undergoing a major transverse abdominal procedure. Delirium is a common complication seen in patients who are anxious and sleep-deprived, especially postoperatively. It is important to address these issues preoperatively to help prevent delirium and ensure a smoother recovery process for the patient. By prescribing a sleeping agent, the AGACNP aims to reduce anxiety and promote a good night's sleep, which can ultimately decrease the risk of delirium and lead to better outcomes for the patient.

Diverticulitis is an infection or inflammation of small pouches that can form in the wall of the colon, known as diverticula.

Further diagnostic tests such as a CT scan may be ordered to confirm the diagnosis and assess the extent of the inflammation.
