Passage / Scenario
A nurse is assessing a 6-week-old child for progressive weight loss and projectile vomiting. The nurse suspects pyloric stenosis.What other assessment finding should be expected?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Rationale: A is correct because a child accepting a feeding after vomiting indicates their ability to tolerate oral intake, suggesting the vomiting may not be due to a serious condition. B, C, and D are incorrect as they suggest potential signs of a serious gastrointestinal issue like an obstruction or intussusception, which would require urgent medical attention.
