ATI Nur 307 Pediatrics Final Exam Questions
Extract:
A nurse is caring for an infant who has inadequate motility of part of the intestine resulting in a mechanical obstruction.
Question 1 of 5
The nurse should identify this finding as a manifestation of which of the following disorders?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Hirschsprung's disease. This disorder is characterized by the absence of ganglion cells in the distal colon, leading to functional obstruction. The finding mentioned in the question could be related to a child's difficulty passing stool, which is a common symptom of Hirschsprung's disease. Encopresis (
A) refers to voluntary or involuntary fecal soiling in children with constipation, not a structural disorder like Hirschsprung's. Pyloric stenosis (
B) is a narrowing of the opening from the stomach to the small intestine, causing projectile vomiting, not related to the colon. Enterocolitis (
D) is inflammation of the colon and small intestine, not specific to Hirschsprung's disease.
