Infant with intussusception
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing an infant who has intussusception. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Sausage-shaped abdominal mass. Intussusception is a medical emergency where one part of the intestine slides into another, causing obstruction. The nurse should expect to feel a sausage-shaped mass in the abdomen due to the telescoping of the intestines. This finding is classic for intussusception. Option A, board-like abdomen, is more indicative of peritonitis. Option B, increased urinary output, is not typically associated with intussusception. Option D, constipation, is a common symptom but not a specific finding for intussusception.
