ANS: A, B, C, D
An enlarged liver in a child can be indicative of heart failure or fluid overload from congenital heart defects. Assessing for respiratory distress, listening to heart and lung sounds, and calculating I&O will all give information related to cardiac function. Bowel movements are not related.
