Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing bowel sounds on post-operative day 2 abdominal surgery patients. He does not hear bowel sounds. What should the nurse conclude about his findings?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: The patient may have paralytic ileus that could last 3-5 days. Post-operatively, it is common for patients to experience paralytic ileus, a temporary paralysis of the intestines leading to absent bowel sounds. This can last 3-5 days due to the effects of anesthesia and manipulation during surgery. Option B is incorrect as not all post-op patients will have absent bowel sounds. Option C is incorrect as the absence of bowel sounds can be a normal finding post-operatively. Option D is not the immediate action as paralytic ileus is a common and expected occurrence.
