Answer :
The manifestation that may indicate a complication from the operation has occurred is "lack of bowel sounds or flatus", the correct option is (b)
Following a bowel resection, it is expected that the patient will have decreased bowel sounds and lack of flatus initially. However, if this persists beyond 3 hours, it may indicate a complication such as an ileus or anastomotic leak. The nurse should assess the patient's abdomen for distension, tenderness, or guarding and report any abnormalities to the healthcare provider. The urine output of 30 ml is not a significant finding at this time and can be monitored closely. A temperature of 98.2 F is within the normal range and does not indicate a complication. Severe pain at the wound site is expected following surgery and can be managed with pain medication.
