When assessing a newborn with a known diaphragmatic hernia, the nurse would anticipate hearing bowel sounds:
 
  1. In the upper abdomen.
   2. In the lower abdomen.
   3. To not exist.
   4. In the chest.

Question 2

The nurse has been asked to aid in diagnostic testing for transient monoarticular synovitis. The nurse prepares the supplies for the procedure because she knows that the child will:
 
  1. Need to have X-rays performed.
   2. Need to have blood drawn for an ESR.
   3. Need to be sedated for a spinal tap.
   4. Need to have a cardiac monitor during the procedure.

Answer to Question 1

4
Feedback
1. Normal bowel sounds can be heard in the upper abdomen.
2. Normal bowel sounds can be heard in the lower abdomen.
3. Bowel sounds do exist, just in a different area of the body.
4. Because of the lack of diaphragm, the gastrointestinal tract is shifted into the chest cavity.

Answer to Question 2

2
Feedback
1. X-rays are not used as diagnostics for this diagnosis.
2. An ESR is the main diagnostic test for monoarticular synovitis because it measures inflammation.
3. A spinal tap is more invasive for a first line of diagnostics tests for this disease process.
4. This disease does not affect the heart, so a cardiac monitor is not required.
