ATI Nsg 234 Pediatrics Exam Questions
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a 1-month-old infant who has a palpable abdominal mass in the right upper quadrant and stools mixed with blood and mucus.
Question 1 of 5
The nurse should recognize that which of the following diagnoses is associated with these findings?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Intussusception. The classic triad of symptoms for intussusception includes colicky abdominal pain, currant jelly stools, and a palpable sausage-shaped mass in the abdomen. This is due to telescoping of one part of the intestine into another, leading to obstruction and ischemia. Tracheoesophageal fistula, hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, and inguinal hernia do not present with the same characteristic symptoms as intussusception. Tracheoesophageal fistula is associated with choking, coughing, and regurgitation, hypertrophic pyloric stenosis presents with projectile vomiting, and inguinal hernia is characterized by a bulge in the groin.
