Answer to Question 1

A
The sucking and swallowing reflexes must be intact before the baby can resume oral feedings. If the baby is experiencing weight loss, the baby will not likely be able to consume sufficient nutrition by mouth alone. Increased respiratory distress would be worsened by introducing oral feedings. Bonding and attachment are important, but do not help determine if a baby is ready for oral feeding.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Correct. Discharge instructions to the parents of an infant who was treated for intussusception most need to include information on observing for signs of intestinal obstruction and recurrence. Recurrence occurs in about 10 of children following hydrostatic reduction. These signs include increasing abdominal pain, abdominal distention, blood in the stools, bile-stained vomiting, and decreased or absent stools.
B Incorrect. Discharge instructions to the parents of an infant who was treated for intussusception do not most need to include information on observing for signs of vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
C Incorrect. Discharge instructions to the parents of an infant who was treated for intussusception do not most need to include information on observing for signs of adjustment to being at home.
D Incorrect. Discharge instructions to the parents of an infant who was treated for intussusception do not most need to include information on observing for abnormal vital signs.
