Question 2
The nurse is working with a parent whose child had a perforation of the appendix. The nurse shares with the parents why appendicitis frequently progresses to perforation in children by saying:
a. The appendix is usually near the perforation state by the time children will say anything for fear they have done something wrong.
b. Young children have a thinner appendiceal wall than adults, so they progress to perforation much quicker than adults.
c. Children tolerate pain much better than adults, so they are in a lot of pain by the time they tell caregivers.
d. The appendix in children is smaller and therefore much easier to rupture.
