Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has a new diagnosis of diverticulitis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Left lower quadrant pain. Diverticulitis typically presents with pain in the left lower quadrant due to inflammation of the diverticula in the colon. This is because the sigmoid colon, where diverticula are most commonly found, is located in the left lower quadrant.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the typical presentation of diverticulitis. Right upper quadrant pain is more indicative of gallbladder issues, generalized abdominal distension is more common in conditions like bowel obstruction, and a fever of 37.2°C is within normal range and not specifically associated with diverticulitis.
