Extract:
A nurse is caring for a 4-year-old pediatric client who has an inguinal hernia.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following statements should the nurse make when the parents ask for clarification about the inguinal hernia?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. An inguinal hernia occurs when a part of the bowel or fatty tissue slips through a weak spot in the abdominal cavity near the groin. This is the correct statement because it accurately describes the mechanism of inguinal hernia formation, where abdominal contents protrude through a weak area in the abdominal wall near the groin.
Choice A is incorrect because an inguinal hernia is not caused by digestive fluids leaking but rather by bowel or fatty tissue protruding.
Choice B is incorrect as inguinal hernias are not caused by viral infections weakening the intestine.
Choice D is incorrect because inguinal hernias are not caused by excess gas accumulation.
