A 3-day-old newborn infant who presented with abdominal distension and failure to pass meconium


Question 1 of 5

The nurse is discussing the treatment of congenital aganglionic megacolon (Hirschsprungs disease) with the caregivers of a 3-day-old newborn infant who presented with abdominal distension and failure to pass meconium. Which statement is the best explanation of the treatment for this diagnosis?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: The treatment for the disorder will be a surgical procedure. In Hirschsprung's disease, there is an absence of nerve cells in the colon, leading to difficulties in passing stool. The definitive treatment is a surgical procedure called a pull-through surgery, where the affected portion of the colon is removed and the healthy colon is connected to the rectum. This surgery allows for improved bowel function.


Choice B is incorrect because iron preparations are not the main treatment for Hirschsprung's disease.
Choice C is incorrect as counseling is not the primary treatment for this condition.
Choice D is incorrect because enemas are not the definitive treatment for Hirschsprung's disease.
Choice E, F, and G are not provided, so they are not applicable to the question.
