Question 1 of 5
A nurse in an emergency department is assessing a client who reports right lower quadrant pain nausea and vomiting for the past 48 hr. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Auscultate bowel sounds. This should be done first to assess for signs of bowel obstruction, a common complication of right lower quadrant pain. Absent or decreased bowel sounds may indicate a blockage, requiring immediate intervention. Administering an antiemetic (choice
A) or pain medication (choice
B) would not address the underlying cause and could mask important symptoms. Palpating the abdomen (choice
C) could potentially worsen a blockage if present. Focusing on auscultating bowel sounds allows the nurse to gather crucial information for further assessment and appropriate treatment.
