The nurse completes percussion of the abdomen on an older adult client. Which finding is considered normal for this client?

A. Tenderness: Tenderness during percussion could indicate an underlying issue, such as inflammation or infection, and is not a normal finding. B. Pain: Pain during percussion may suggest problems like organ inflammation or distension and is not considered normal. C. Musical and drumlike: This finding is normal and is often indicative of the presence of air or gas in the intestines, which is a common finding in older adults, especially those with less efficient digestion. D. Absent sounds: Absent sounds could indicate bowel obstruction or other serious issues and are not a normal finding. Normal percussive sounds should be heard.
