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: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Projectile vomiting. Pyloric stenosis is a condition where the muscle at the bottom of the stomach thickens, causing a blockage. This leads to forceful and projectile vomiting in infants, typically occurring after feedings. The other options are incorrect as ridged abdomen is not a typical manifestation of pyloric stenosis. Red currant jelly stools are associated with intussusception. Distended neck veins are seen in heart failure, not pyloric stenosis.
