Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
If pain is present in a certain area of the abdomen, that area should be palpated last to keep the client from tensing up, which could possibly affect the rest of the examination. Auscultation of the abdomen occurs prior to palpation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
After colonoscopy, clients have less discomfort and quicker passage of flatus when placed in the left lateral position.
