A nurse assesses the abdomen and finds positive bowel sounds in all four quadrants, tenderness in the left lower quadrant with a few small round, firm masses. Rovsing's sign and the Psoas sign are negative. What nursing diagnosis can the nurse confirm for this client

Respuesta :

Answer:

constipation related to decrease in fluid intake

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that in this scenario the most likely diagnosis is that this is constipation related to decrease in fluid intake . When the body becomes dehydrated the large intestines begin to soak up the water from your food waste which causes chronic constipation and the small round, firm masses, that the nurse found.
