Question 1 of 5
The client diagnosed with acute diverticulitis is complaining of severe abdominal pain. On assessment, the nurse finds a hard, rigid abdomen and T 102°F. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A rigid abdomen and fever (102°F) suggest possible perforation or peritonitis, requiring immediate HCP notification for evaluation and possible surgical intervention. Enemas are contraindicated, and antipyretics or monitoring delay critical action.
