Answer to Question 1

B
B. To auscultate bowel sounds place the diaphragm of the stethoscope lightly over each of the four abdominal quadrants. Listen 5 minutes over each quadrant before deciding that bowel sounds are absent.
A. Painful areas are assessed last. Manipulation of body part can increase client's pain and anxiety and make remainder of assessment difficult to complete.
