I have most of it done i coppied the whole thing to give all of the background. Im struggling with ... 6. R.O. undergoes an appendectomy; the appendix has ruptured. The peritoneum is inflamed, and abscesses are seen near the colon and small intestine. R.O. is admitted to the surgical unit; she is NPO, has a nasogastric tube (NGT), foley catheter, IV, abdominal dressing, and penrose drain. Identify 5 priority nursing considerations. 7. R.O. is 4 days postoperative. Assessment shows that R.O. is pale and listless; bowel sounds are absent; abdomen is distended and tender to the touch; the NGT is draining an increased amount of dark, greenish black fluid. Also her lung sounds are moist bilaterally, her temperature has spiked to 40.2 degrees Celsius, and she rates her pain at 10/10 )she has been rating her pain from 5 to 7 on a scale of 1 to 10 for the past two days.) R.O. has difficulty taking deep breaths because of the pain, which she says "hurts over my whole stomach." What should your priority nursing care include? 8. What information, if any, should you relate to her surgeon? What is your rational for relating this information?
