A
Response:
Rectal bleeding and diarrhea are symptoms of rectal cancer in adults and are not typical of children with cancer. The child reporting that a bone broke without any trauma, the nurse observing asymmetrical swelling in the abdomen, and palpation revealing a mass in the abdomen are common findings in children with cancer.
