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: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Auscultate bowel sounds. This is the first action the nurse should take to assess for signs of possible bowel obstruction or peritonitis in the client presenting with right lower quadrant pain, nausea, and vomiting. Auscultating bowel sounds helps the nurse determine if there is normal bowel motility. Palpating the abdomen (choice
C) could potentially worsen the condition if there is an underlying issue like appendicitis. Offering pain medication (choice
A) before determining the underlying cause could mask symptoms and delay proper treatment. Administering an antiemetic (choice
D) may help with nausea and vomiting but doesn't address the root cause.
