A nurse is caring for a toddler who has intussusception. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Increased appetite: Intussusception typically causes abdominal pain and discomfort, leading to a decreased appetite rather than increased. B. Jaundice: Jaundice is not a typical manifestation of intussusception. C. Drooling: Drooling is not associated with intussusception. D. Mucus in stools: Intussusception can cause mucus and bloody stools due to the irritation and inflammation in the intestine as it telescopes into itself.
