Diverticulosis and Diverticulitis

A 65-year-old client is admitted to the emergency department with complaints of severe left lower quadrant abdominal pain that started 6 hours ago. The client reports nausea, vomiting, and a low-grade fever. Which assessment finding would be most significant for the nurse to report immediately to the healthcare provider?

해설
A rigid abdomen with rebound tenderness indicates peritonitis, which is a life-threatening complication of diverticulitis that requires immediate surgical intervention. Peritonitis occurs when intestinal contents leak into the abdominal cavity due to diverticular perforation, with abdominal rigidity and rebound tenderness being typical signs. Immediate surgical intervention is necessary. Incorrect answer analysis: 1) Crampy abdominal pain rated 6/10 is a common symptom of diverticulitis but is not an emergency requiring immediate reporting. 3) A low-grade fever of 100.8°F and mild leukocytosis are expected in diverticulitis but are not life-threatening on their own. 4) Nausea, vomiting, and decreased oral intake over 12 hours pose a risk of dehydration but are less urgent than peritonitis.
