The initial assessment of a patient who was admitted with a gastrointestinal inflammatory disease revealed that the patient had hyperactive bowel sounds.
 
  The follow-up assessment finds that the bowel sounds are still hyperactive but are now audible without a stethoscope. The nurse will correctly chart:
  1. Low-pitched bowel sounds  D.
  2. Borborygmus noted.
  3. Bowel sounds are high pitched.
  4. Bowel sounds hyperactive  D.

Question 2

A patient who is one day postoperative is complaining of nausea and refusing to eat. Upon auscultation of the abdomen, the nurse finds that the patient's bowel sounds are hypoactive. This is most likely due to
 
  1. Peritonitis.
  2. A bowel obstruction.
  3. Anesthesia.
  4. Paralytic ileus.
