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.

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.

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.
