A newborn
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a newborn. Which of the following should the nurse understand is a clinical manifestation of pyloric stenosis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Rationale: A newborn with pyloric stenosis will exhibit projectile vomiting after feedings due to the obstruction at the pylorus, causing an increase in pressure within the stomach. This is a key clinical manifestation. Absent bowel sounds (
B) are not typically associated with pyloric stenosis. Increased sodium levels (
C) may be seen in dehydration from vomiting but are not specific to pyloric stenosis. A golf ball-sized mass over the left quadrant (
D) is not a typical finding in pyloric stenosis.
Therefore, option A is the correct answer as it aligns with the characteristic symptom of projectile vomiting.
