Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who is postoperative following orthopedic surgery. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication of paralytic ileus?

A) is not indicative of paralytic ileus as it suggests normal bowel function. Oliguria (
B) refers to decreased urine output and is not directly related to paralytic ileus. Dizziness (
