Question 1 of 5
A parent calls a clinic and reports to a nurse that his 2-month-old infant is hungry more than usual but is projectile vomiting immediately after eating. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct response is C: Bring your baby in to the clinic today. Projectile vomiting in a 2-month-old infant after feeding can be a sign of a serious condition such as pyloric stenosis or gastroesophageal reflux disease. Bringing the baby to the clinic allows for a thorough physical examination and appropriate diagnostic tests to be conducted by a healthcare professional. This is crucial to ensure timely intervention and management of the underlying issue.
Other choices are incorrect:
A: Burping more frequently may not address the underlying cause of projectile vomiting.
B: Oral rehydration solution is not the appropriate intervention for projectile vomiting in an infant.
D: Switching formula without a proper assessment from a healthcare provider may not resolve the issue and could potentially worsen the condition.
