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: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Bring your baby in to the clinic today. Projectile vomiting in a 2-month-old infant after feeding could indicate a serious condition like pyloric stenosis. This condition causes the muscle at the bottom of the stomach to thicken, leading to projectile vomiting. It is crucial for the nurse to assess the infant in person to rule out this condition and provide appropriate treatment promptly. The other choices are incorrect because: A - Oral rehydration solution may not address the underlying cause of the vomiting, B - Switching formula may not resolve the issue and delay necessary medical intervention, D - Burping more frequently is unlikely to stop projectile vomiting.
