While completing an admission assessment for a client with fatigue, weakness, and unexplained weight loss, the nurse notes scleral jaundice. Which finding during percussion of the abdomen should the nurse document indicating hepatomegaly?

A. Tympany over the liver suggests a hollow sound and is not indicative of hepatomegaly. B. Tympany within the liver region suggests a gas-filled area and would not be associated with hepatomegaly. C. Hepatomegaly, or an enlarged liver, is indicated by a dull percussion sound when tapping the liver area. The dull sound occurs because the liver tissue is more solid compared to the air-filled lungs. D. A hollow sound in the lower abdomen could be from the intestines or other structures but does not suggest liver enlargement.
