Mariana starts crying during part of her physical exam. When the nurse assesses Mariana’s abdomen, she notices a bulge around her belly button. Ricardo expresses concern and asks the nurse, “What’s wrong? Why is her stomach bulging?” The nurse’s best response is: • Mariana likely has an umbilical hernia and will need physical therapy. • Mariana likely has an umbilical hernia and will probably need surgery. • Mariana likely has an umbilical hernia that will probably resolve on its own. • Mariana likely has an umbilical hernia and will need an x-ray to determine its size.
