A nurse is preparing to perform an abdominal assessment on a child. Identify the sequence the nurse should follow. (Move the steps into the box on the right, placing them in the selected order of performance. Use all the steps.)

A. Inspection: The nurse begins with a visual examination of the abdomen, looking for any abnormalities in skin color, shape, or movement. B. Auscultation: Next, the nurse listens to the bowel sounds using a stethoscope. This step is performed before palpation to avoid altering the bowel sounds. C. Superficial palpation: The nurse gently presses the surface of the abdomen to assess for any tenderness, distension, or masses. D. Deep palpation: Finally, the nurse applies deeper pressure to feel for any deeper structures or masses within the abdomen.
