Extract:
A nurse is assessing a school-age child immediately postoperative following a perforated appendix.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following finding should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Absence of peristalsis. In a patient with peritonitis, the nurse would expect the absence of peristalsis due to inflammation and irritation of the peritoneum. This finding is indicative of a serious condition requiring immediate medical attention.
A: A WBC of 6,000/mm3 is within normal range and may not specifically indicate peritonitis.
B: Purulent nasogastric drainage suggests infection but is not specific to peritonitis.
C: Passage of dark red stool with mucus may indicate gastrointestinal bleeding, which is not directly related to peritonitis.
