An infant with Hirschsprung disease.
Question 1 of 5
Which assessment finding should the nurse expect in an infant with Hirschsprung disease?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Constipation with passage of foul-smelling, ribbon-like stools. In Hirschsprung disease, the affected segment of the colon lacks nerve cells, leading to impaired peristalsis and constipation. The stool accumulates, causing ribbon-like stools due to decreased motility. Other choices are incorrect: B is inconsistent with Hirschsprung disease, C suggests malabsorption issues like cystic fibrosis, and D indicates intussusception.
