2. Pain medication 3. Complete white blood cell count

Rationale:
Pain medications will be ordered as will a complete white blood count, which will be elevated. A barium enema is not ordered as this could cause perforation of the appendix and bowel. The client will be npo, and the cephalosporins are the antibiotic of choice for antibiotic therapy.
