Upon physical examination, the nurse detects abdominal tenderness, increased bowel sounds accompanied by signs of borborygmi, abdominal distension, and tympany on percussion. Which diagnostic test will confirm Crohn's disease in the client?

Choice A rationale: BSE will not reduce the risk of dying from breast cancer, but it may help you detect breast cancer earlier, when it is more treatable.

Choice B rationale: BSE should be done once a month, preferably at the same time each month. For women who have menstrual periods, the best time to do BSE is a few days after the period ends, when the breasts are less tender and swollen. For women who do not have menstrual periods, such as those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or postmenopausal, they can choose a fixed date, such as the first day of each month, to do BSE.

Choice C rationale: For women who have menstrual periods, the best time to do BSE is a few days after the period ends, when the breasts are less tender and swollen. For women who do not have menstrual periods, such as those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or postmenopausal, they can choose a fixed date, such as the first day of each month, to do BSE.

Choice D rationale: Annual mammograms are recommended for women aged 40 and older, or earlier if they have a high risk of breast cancer and not all women. Women aged less than 30 years should undergo breast ultrasound instead.

Choice A rationale: After visual inspection, the next step typically involves auscultation, which allows the nurse to listen for bowel sounds and gather information about

gastrointestinal function.

Choice B rationale: Percussion involves tapping the abdomen to assess density or abnormal masses but usually follows auscultation.

Choice C rationale: Palpation, both light and deep, follows percussion in the sequence of an abdominal examination.

Choice D rationale: Similar to light palpation, deep palpation follows auscultation and percussion in the sequence of an abdominal examination.
