Which assessment is appropriate for the nurse to perform?
While caring for a client. the nurse notes a pulsating mass in the client’s periumbilical area.
Auscultate the mass. Auscultation of the abdomen and finding a bruit will confirm the presence of an abdominal aneurysm and will form the basis of information given to the provider. The mass should not be palpated because of the risk of rupture.
