Question 1 of 5
A nurse is performing an assessment for a 5-year-old child who has celiac disease. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Steatorrhea. In celiac disease, the small intestine is damaged, leading to malabsorption of fats. Steatorrhea is a classic finding characterized by bulky, greasy, foul-smelling stools due to undigested fat. This occurs because the damaged intestine is unable to absorb fats properly. The other choices are incorrect because:
A) Sausage-shaped mass in the upper right abdomen is suggestive of constipation or fecal impaction;
B) Red-currant, jelly-like stools are seen in intussusception;
C) Hematemesis is vomiting of blood, which is not typically associated with celiac disease.
