Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Pancreatic cancer: Typically associated with abdominal pain, weight loss, and jaundice rather than a burning sensation in the esophagus.

B. Acute pancreatitis: Causes severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, but not usually a burning sensation in the esophagus.

C. Acid reflux: Also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), this condition commonly causes a burning sensation in the esophagus after eating.

D. Gastric ulcer: Generally causes pain in the upper abdomen and may be associated with indigestion, but not specifically a burning sensation in the esophagus.

A. Auscultate the anatomic area with a stethoscope. B. Use Doppler ultrasonography to locate the pulse. C. Ask another nurse to assess the pulse. D. Document absence of dorsalis pedis pulse.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Auscultating the area may not provide accurate information about the pulse if it is not palpable, though it can be part of the assessment if Doppler is unavailable.

B. Using Doppler ultrasonography is the most appropriate next step to accurately assess the pulse if it is not palpable, especially in older adults where pulses may be difficult to detect.

C. Asking another nurse to assess the pulse may not address the underlying issue of why the pulse is not palpable and does not provide additional information.

D. Documenting the absence of the dorsalis pedis pulse without further investigation could be premature, as Doppler ultrasonography should be used to confirm its absence.
