Question 1 of 5
A nurse in the emergency department is caring for a client who comes to the emergency department reporting severe abdominal pain in the left lower quadrant. The provider suspects a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. Which of the following signs indicates to the nurse that the client has blood in the peritoneum?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Cullen's sign. Cullen's sign is the presence of bruising around the umbilicus, indicating blood in the peritoneum from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. Chadwick's, Chvostek's, and Goodell's signs are not related to peritoneal bleeding. Chadwick's sign is bluish discoloration of the cervix in pregnancy, Chvostek's sign is facial muscle twitching in hypocalcemia, and Goodell's sign is softening of the cervix in early pregnancy.
Therefore, they are not relevant to this situation.
