Answer to Question 1

1
The social readjustment rating scale was developed not only as an indicator of stress but also as an indicator of disease. A score above 300 is considered high, which should indicate to the nurse that the client is at risk for developing disease. This score is not interpreted as increasing the client's risk for sleep disturbances, developing obesity, or for inactivity.

Answer to Question 2

4
Obstruction can be detected with absent bowel sounds and borborygmi or a splashing sound heard over the large intestine. Absent bowel sounds and borborygmi are not associated with ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, or appendicitis.
