The traps that quietly cost points
These are the point-loss patterns iHuman never tells you about. We map every one for this case.
⚠
High-pitched tinkling bowel sounds on auscultation suggest partial obstruction
⚠
Absent bowel sounds suggest complete obstruction — surgical emergency
⚠
Upright abdominal X-ray: air-fluid levels are diagnostic, not just distension
⚠
NG tube decompression before imaging in hemodynamically unstable patient
⚠
Prior surgical adhesions are #1 cause — must obtain surgical history
