A 6-week-old infant who has a 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: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Projectile vomiting. Pyloric stenosis is a condition where the muscle at the bottom of the stomach (pylorus) thickens, leading to obstruction of food passage. This obstruction causes forceful, projectile vomiting in infants shortly after feeding. This is due to the stomach trying to push the contents past the narrowed pylorus. Red currant jelly stools (choice
A) are seen in intussusception, not pyloric stenosis. Distended neck veins (choice
B) and ridged abdomen (choice
D) are not typically associated with pyloric stenosis.
