Extract:

3-day-old newborn suspected of Hirschsprung disease.


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a 3-day-old newborn and suspects Hirschsprung disease. What finding best supports the nurse's concern?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because in Hirschsprung disease, affected infants typically present with a failure to pass meconium within the first 48 hours of life. This is due to the absence of ganglion cells in the distal bowel, leading to a functional obstruction.
Choice A is incorrect as tar-like stools suggest meconium passage.
Choice B is incorrect as weight loss is not a characteristic feature.
Choice D is incorrect as hard, pellet-like stools are not typical of Hirschsprung disease.
