A client is admitted with suspected appendicitis. Which assessment finding would the nurse expect to report to the healthcare provider?

✓ Correct Answer: Option A

Rebound tenderness at McBurney's point (located in the right lower quadrant) is a classic sign of appendicitis and indicates peritoneal inflammation. The other options are not typical findings for appendicitis; pain would worsen with palpation, and bowel sounds might be diminished.
