Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who presents to the emergency department with reports of right lower quadrant pain nausea and vomiting for the past 2 days. 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 because it helps assess for potential bowel obstruction or other gastrointestinal issues which could be causing the client's symptoms. Palpating the abdomen (choice
A) can be painful and should be avoided until a better understanding of the situation is achieved. Offering pain medication (choice
C) should not be the first action as it does not address the underlying cause. Administering an antibiotic (choice
D) is premature without a clear diagnosis. In summary, auscultating bowel sounds is the initial step to gather vital information before proceeding with further assessment or interventions.
