Final answer:

Nolan should seek immediate medical attention if experiencing sudden, intense hernia pain, nausea, and vomiting to rule out a strangulated hernia.


Explanation:

Nolan should be advised to seek immediate medical attention because the sudden intense hernia pain, nausea, and vomiting may indicate a strangulated hernia. A strangulated hernia is a serious condition where the blood supply to the herniated tissue is cut off, leading to tissue damage. This requires urgent medical intervention to prevent complications.
