, A nurse is assessing a client who underwent abdominal surgery 10 days ago.
The client complains of pain in the abdomen. What type of pain does the
client experience?
1 1 Visceral pain
2 Somatic pain
3 Referred pain
4 Intractable pain
What is the sequence of techniques used while assessing the abdomen?
1. Inspection
1,2,4,3 2. Auscultation
3. Palpation
4. Percussion
Arrange the sequence of events occurring during a fever secondary to
pyrogens in chronological order
Correct
1. Immune system response is triggered
1,3,2,5,4
2. Body temperature is increased
3. The set point of the hypothalamus is raised
4. Heat loss responses are initiated
5. Pyrogens are destroyed
