Extract:

A 2-month-old infant with Hirschsprung's disease.


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is planning care for a 2-month-old infant with Hirschsprung's disease. Which of the following conditions should the nurse recognize is associated with this diagnosis?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hirschsprung's disease. This condition is characterized by the absence of ganglion cells in the distal colon, leading to functional obstruction. Enterocolitis is a common complication in infants with Hirschsprung's disease due to the accumulation of fecal material and subsequent bacterial overgrowth. Pyloric stenosis is a different condition involving narrowing of the pylorus, which can lead to projectile vomiting. Encopresis is the voluntary or involuntary passage of feces into inappropriate places, often seen in children with chronic constipation but not directly related to Hirschsprung's disease.
Therefore, the nurse should recognize enterocolitis as a significant complication associated with Hirschsprung's disease.
