Restrictive clothing will be adequate to help the hernia goaway.
An abdominal binder can be worn daily to reduce theprotrusion.

This hernia is a normal variation that resolves withouttreatment.
,Rationale:

an incomplete fusion of the abdominal musculature through the
umbilical ring that usually resolves spontaneously as the child learns
to walk.

Acute lower abdominal pain in a young adult female can be indicative of
an ectopic pregnancy, which can be life- threatening. Since the client's
last menstrual period was 7 weeks ago, a pregnancy test should be
obtained to rule outectopic pregnancy, which can result in intra-

drinking results from impaired swallowing and gag reflex, so a referral
to a speech therapist is indicated to evaluate the coordinationof oral
movements associated with speech and deglutition(swallowing).
