Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who is postoperative following surgical removal of a Wilms' tumor. Which of the following assessments sacation.co continue NPO status?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Absent bowel sounds. Following surgical removal of a Wilms' tumor, the child may experience paralytic ileus, leading to absent bowel sounds. This indicates decreased gastrointestinal motility and necessitates continuing NPO status to prevent complications like vomiting and aspiration. Passing flatus (
A) is a positive sign but does not indicate readiness for oral intake. Abdominal girth increase (
C) may suggest fluid retention or gas accumulation, not necessarily a reason to continue NPO. Pain at the operative site (
D) can be managed with appropriate analgesia and is not a direct contraindication for oral intake.
