The patient develops a distended abdomen that is associated with brown, foul-smelling emesis. His abdominal X-ray shows no obstruction, yet a portion of his small bowel is distended with air. What would be the appropriate treatments? Group of answer choices Placement of a nasogastric tube to decompress the distended bowel in an attempt to avoid perforation. Consulting pharmacy pain experts to devise an effective pain management regimen that minimizes, or does not include, narcotics that decrease bowel motility. Replacing potassium.
