The correct answer is CThe four cardinal symptoms of bowel obstruction are pain, vomiting, obstipation/absolute constipation, and distention. Obstipation, change in bowel habits, complete constipation, and abdominal distention are the predominant symptoms in LBO. Vomiting occurs late in the course of the desease. On the other hand, pain, vomiting, and distention are commonly seen in SBO. The pain is colicky in nature and becomes dull late in the course of SBO. Vomiting is a pronounced symptom in high SBO. The vomitus is bilious or semi-indigested food in high SBO, and feculant in low SBO. Obstipation and constipation are present to a variable degree.
