Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Right lower quadrant pain, specifically at McBurney's point, is characteristic of appendicitis. Usually if nausea and vomiting begin first, the client has gastroenteritis. Marked peristalsis and hyperactive bowel sounds are not indicative of appendicitis. Abdominal pain due to appendicitis decreases with knee flexion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
720 mg
132 lb = 60 kg.
60 kg  12 mg/kg = 720 mg.
