A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a parent of a 1 month old infant who is to undergo the initial surgery to treat Hirschsprung’s disease. Which of the following statements should indicate to the nurse that the parent understands the goal of the surgery.

A. "The operation will straighten out the kink in the intestine.": Hirschsprung’s disease involves a lack of nerve cells in the colon, not a physical kink. B. "I want to learn how to use the feeding tube as soon as possible.": Feeding tubes are not a standard part of treatment for Hirschsprung’s disease. C. "I’m glad my child will have bowel movements now.": While the surgery will help bowel function, the initial goal is creating an ostomy to divert stool. D. "I’m glad that the ostomy is only temporary.": The initial surgery often involves a temporary ostomy to allow the colon to heal before definitive repair.
