Passage / Scenario
Child is admitted with a suspected diagnosis of Wilms tumor.The nurse should place a sign with which of the following warnings over the child's bed?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The correct answer is A: "Do not palpate abdomen." Placing a sign with this warning is important to prevent unnecessary manipulation of the child's abdomen, which can lead to discomfort or potential harm. Palpating the abdomen without proper indication can cause pain or even injury, especially if the child has a medical condition. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not address the specific concern of palpating the abdomen. Choice B focuses on venipuncture and blood pressure in the left arm, which is not the primary issue in this scenario. Choice C pertains to urine collection, which is unrelated to the need to avoid palpating the abdomen. Choice D, contact precautions, is also not directly related to the warning needed for the child's bed.
