Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
In intussusception, the ileum commonly telescopes into the cecum and part of the ascending co-lon by collapsing through the ileocecal valve. The classic symptoms of intussusception include colicky abdominal pain, irritability, knees drawn to the chest, abdominal mass, vomiting, and bloody (currant jelly) stools. The assessment data does not support a diagnosis of prolapse, pylo-ric stenosis, or of imperforation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
When the esophagus ends in a blind pouch, the condition is referred to as esophageal atresia; the trachea is not involved. Esophagitis is inflammation of the esophagus. Pyloric stenosis is a nar-rowing of the connection between the stomach and the duodenum.
