ATI Pediatric Nursing n100 Exam Questions

Extract:

A client who is one day post op after having abdominal surgery.


Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client who is one day post op after having abdominal surgery. While auscultating bowel sounds for a full one minute, the nurse hears 3 bowel sounds. The nurse would chart this as bowel sounds.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: hypoactive. After abdominal surgery, it is common for bowel sounds to decrease due to the effects of anesthesia, pain medications, and reduced gastrointestinal motility. Hearing only 3 bowel sounds in one minute indicates decreased bowel activity, which is classified as hypoactive. This can be a sign of postoperative ileus, which is a temporary delay in gastrointestinal function.

Choices A (hyperactive) and B (active) are incorrect as they indicate increased bowel sounds, which would not be expected postoperatively.
Choice D (absent) is also incorrect because hearing any bowel sounds, even if decreased, indicates some level of bowel activity.
