6-week-old infant with pyloric stenosis
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 6-week-old infant who has a pyloric stenosis. Which of the following clinical manifestations should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Projectile vomiting. Pyloric stenosis causes obstruction at the outlet of the stomach, leading to forceful and projectile vomiting. This occurs shortly after feeding due to the stomach being unable to empty properly. Distended neck veins (
A) are not a typical manifestation of pyloric stenosis. Red currant jelly stools (
B) are associated with intussusception. A ridged abdomen (
C) is not a common finding with pyloric stenosis. In summary, the key feature of pyloric stenosis is projectile vomiting, making it the correct choice.
