Question 1 of 5

The client with a history of a duodenal ulcer is hospitalized with upper abdominal discomfort and projectile vomiting that has a foul odor. The nurse immediately notifies the HCP, concluding that the client may have developed which complication?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A. Symptoms of perforation include severe abdominal pain; vomiting usually does not occur. B. The client with GI hemorrhage would have bright red or coffee-ground-colored emesis. C. Symptoms of gastric outlet obstruction include abdominal pain and projectile vomiting when the stomach fills enough to stimulate afferent nerve fibers relaying information to the vomiting center in the brain. The emesis may have a foul odor or contain food particles if the contents have been dormant in the stomach for a prolonged time period. D. Infection with H. pylori is not a complication of PUD; rather, it is a major cause of peptic ulcers.
