The nurse admits a 9 year old who is complaining of pain in the lower-right quadrant of the abdomen, nausea, and constipation. She also has a fever of 101 Fahrenheit.
 
  Of the following nursing actions, which will most likely be done at this time for this child? The nurse will:
  A) give a laxative to alleviate constipation.
  B) place a heating pad or hot water bottle on her abdomen.
  C) help her find a comfortable position.
  D) give her an analgesic such as acetaminophen.

Question 2

Four weeks before the birth of her already large child, the physician has told the pregnant woman that if the baby gets bigger and his lungs are ready, the physician would like to perform a cesarean to deliver the baby.
 
  The woman asks the nurse what the downside is to having a cesarean rather than a vaginal delivery. What is an appropriate response by the nurse?
  A) If the physician has recommended the procedure, it's likely that the benefits outweigh the risks.
  B) The procedure isn't risky for the baby, but your healing takes longer and you'll have a scar.
  C) As the baby passes through the birth canal some of the excess fluid is expelled from the lungs. If that doesn't happen there's a higher risk of respiratory distress.
  D) Some women don't have any problem delivering large babies. You might want to get a second opinion.
