The nurse is providing care to a child with acute abdominal pain, currant-jelly-like stools and suspected intussusception. The nurse will discuss with the caregivers that the child will have which procedure
Explanation & Rationale
A. While abdominal surgery may be needed in some cases of intussusception, non-surgical interventions are often attempted first. B. An enema with air infusion (often a contrast enema) can be used to treat intussusception by helping to unfold the intestine, making it a commonly discussed procedure. C. An ano-rectal pull-through procedure is not related to intussusception and is usually indicated for conditions like Hirschsprung's disease. D. A colostomy may be necessary in cases of bowel necrosis or perforation but is not the first-line treatment for intussusception.
