Question text
Morris Bettelman, an 86-year-old retired plumber, states that he
has suffered from a groin hernia all of his adult life; he states,
"as far back as I can remember." Sometimes he has to push the
bulge back into his abdominal muscle and then he is fine until he
has a coughing spell. This morning the bulge was large and
tender when he woke up and he could not reduce it. As the pain
increased, he felt weak and nauseous. His daughter took him to
the emergency department. Morris was diagnosed with a
strangulated incarcerated hernia and scheduled for emergency
surgery. If the contents of Morris' hernia sac become

label on his surgical specimen will be: - ANSWER--c. necrotic
bowel.
