Extract:
A nurse is reinforcing education to parents of an infant who has intussusception.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following statements would the nurse provide to the parents?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because intussusception is a medical condition where one segment of the intestine slides into another, leading to potential blockage and cutting off blood supply. This explanation is accurate and aligns with the pathophysiology of intussusception.
Choice B is incorrect as twisting of the intestine does not accurately describe the mechanism of intussusception.
Choice C is incorrect since intussusception is not typically a congenital condition related to the formation of the intestinal wall.
Choice D is incorrect because weakened abdominal muscles are not a known cause of intussusception.
Therefore, the nurse would provide the explanation in choice A to the parents due to its accuracy in describing the condition.
