Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an infant who has necrotizing enterocolitis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Rounded abdomen. Necrotizing enterocolitis (NE
C) is a serious condition in infants characterized by inflammation and damage to the intestines. A rounded abdomen is a common finding in infants with NEC due to abdominal distension from gas and fluid accumulation. Hypertension (
A), vomiting (
C), and tachypnea (
D) are not typical findings in NEC. Hypertension is not associated with NEC, vomiting may occur but is not a defining characteristic, and tachypnea is more commonly seen in respiratory conditions. The presence of a rounded abdomen in an infant with NEC is a key indication of the disease process and should prompt immediate intervention and monitoring.
