A newborn's failure to pass meconium within the first 24 hours after birth may
indicate which of the following?
a.Hirschsprung disease
b. Celiac disease
c. Intussusception
d. Abdominal wall defect - ANSWER: Answer A
Failure to pass meconium within the first 24 hours after birth may be an indication of
Hirschsprung disease, a congenital anomaly resulting in mechanical obstruction due
to inadequate motility in an intestinal segment. Failure to pass meconium is not
associated with celiac disease, intussusception, or abdominal wall defect.
Which of the following should the nurse do first after noting that a child with
Hirschsprung disease has a fever and watery explosive diarrhea?
a. Notify the physician immediately
b. Administer antidiarrheal medications
c. Monitor child ever 30 minutes
d. Nothing, this is characteristic of Hirschsprung disease - ANSWER: Answer A
For the child with Hirschsprung disease, fever and explosive diarrhea indicate
enterocolitis, a life-threatening situation. Therefore, the physician should be notified
immediately. Generally, because of the intestinal obstruction and inadequate
propulsive intestinal movement, antidiarrheals are not used to treat Hirschsprung
disease. The child is acutely ill and requires intervention, with monitoring more
frequently than every 30 minutes.Hirschsprung disease typically presents with
chronic constipation.
When assessing a child for possible intussusception, which of the following would be
least likely to provide valuable information?
a.Stool inspection
b. Pain pattern
c. Family history
d. Abdominal palpation - ANSWER: Answer C
Because intussusception is not believed to have a familial tendency, obtaining a
family history would provide the least amount of information. Stool inspection, pain
pattern, and abdominal palpation would reveal possible indicators of
intussusception. Current, jelly-like stools containing blood and mucus are an
indication of intussusception. Acute,episodic abdominal pain is characteristics of
intussusception. A sausage-shaped mass may be palpated in the right upper
quadrant.
