Infant who has inadequate motility of part of the intestine resulting in a mechanical obstruction.
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an infant who has inadequate motility of part of the intestine resulting in a mechanical obstruction. The nurse should identify this finding as a manifestation of which of the following disorders?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Hirschsprung's disease. This disorder is characterized by inadequate motility in part of the intestine, leading to a mechanical obstruction. In Hirschsprung's disease, nerve cells are missing in the colon, causing a lack of peristalsis in that segment. This results in a buildup of stool, leading to obstruction. Encopresis (
B) is the voluntary or involuntary passage of feces in inappropriate places, not related to motility issues. Pyloric stenosis (
C) involves narrowing of the opening between the stomach and small intestine, causing vomiting, not related to intestinal motility. Enterocolitis (
D) is inflammation of the intestines, often due to infection, and does not directly involve motility issues.
