Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a patient who is postoperative following a bowel resection. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider? Which finding post-bowel resection should the nurse report?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Abdominal distension. This finding could indicate a possible complication such as bowel obstruction or ileus post-bowel resection. The nurse should report this symptom promptly to the provider for further evaluation and intervention to prevent potential complications. Soft, formed stools (
A) are expected after bowel resection, indicating bowel function is returning. Mild incisional pain (
C) is common postoperatively and can be managed with pain medication. Nausea (
D) can also be common after surgery but may require monitoring if persistent or severe. There are no additional choices provided, but it is essential for the nurse to prioritize reporting any unusual or concerning findings to ensure the patient's safety and well-being.
