A 6-week-old infant who has pyloric stenosis
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 6-week-old infant who has pyloric stenosis. Which of the following clinical manifestations should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Projectile vomiting. Pyloric stenosis is a condition where the muscle at the outlet of the stomach thickens, leading to obstruction. Projectile vomiting is a classic symptom due to the forceful emptying of the stomach contents. Distended neck veins (
A) are not typically associated with pyloric stenosis. While a rigid abdomen (
B) may be present in some cases, it is not as specific or common as projectile vomiting. Red currant jelly stools (
D) are more indicative of intussusception, another gastrointestinal condition.
