Question 1 of 5
When auscultating a client9s abdomen, how long should the nurse listen before concluding the bowel sounds are absent?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 5 minutes. This is because the nurse should listen for a minimum of 5 minutes to accurately determine if bowel sounds are absent.

Listening for 10 minutes (choice C) or 15 minutes (choice D) is unnecessary and may lead to unnecessary delays in patient care.
