A. "I will have upper abdominal pain." B. "My abdomen will become distended." C. "My stools will be clay-colored." D. "I will experience gastric reflux."

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Upper abdominal pain is not a typical manifestation of diverticulitis. It is more commonly associated with conditions affecting the upper gastrointestinal tract.

Choice B rationale:

Rationale: Diverticulitis is characterized by inflammation or infection of diverticula (small pouches) in the colon. Manifestations of diverticulitis can include abdominal pain (usually left lower quadrant), fever, nausea, vomiting, and changes in bowel habits.

Abdominal distension may indicate worsening inflammation or complication of diverticulitis.

Choice C rationale: Clay-colored stools are more characteristic of liver or bile duct disorders, not diverticulitis.

Choice D rationale: Gastric reflux is not a common manifestation of diverticulitis. It is more related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or other upper gastrointestinal issues.
