    A nurse is reinforcing education to parents of an infant who has intussusception. Which of the following statements would the nurse provide to the parents?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Twisting of the intestine describes volvulus, not intussusception. B. Weakened abdominal muscles and bulging describe hernias, not intussusception. C. Intussusception occurs when a part of the intestine telescopes into another part, leading to obstruction and potential ischemia. D. Intussusception is not a congenital defect related to improper intestinal wall formation.
