The mother of a 1B-year-old girl calls the emergency department, suspecting her daughter's abdominal pain may be appendicitis. In addition to pain, her daughter has a fever of 100F (37.8℃) and has vomited twice. What should the nurse tell the mother?
参考答案: D
参考解析: Abdominal pain, low-grade fever, and vomiting are cardinal signs of appendicitis. Administration of a laxative during appendicitis is dangerous because it may cause the appendix to rupture. Rebound tenderness is also a symptom but would be found in the right lower quadrant.
