    A nurse is assessing an infant who has intussusception. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Polyuria: Not associated with intussusception. It's more often seen in conditions like diabetes. B. Scaphoid abdomen: A scaphoid (sunken) abdomen is more associated with diaphragmatic hernia, not intussusception. C. Gelatinous red stool: "Currant jelly" stools (blood and mucus) are a classic sign of intussusception. D. Generalized edema: Edema is not a typical manifestation of intussusception.
