Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Correct. Nonbilious vomiting starting between the 2nd and 4th week of life is the initial symptom of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis.
B Incorrect. Cramping and abdominal pain starting around the 3rd day after birth is not the initial symptom of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis.
C Incorrect. Refusal to take the bottle or nurse is not the initial symptom of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. The infant is hungry and wants to be fed again, in spite of feeding and vomiting.
D Incorrect. A high-pitched and unusual cry is not the initial symptom of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis.

Answer to Question 2

A
The baby should be able to turn completely over. The baby should be able to bring the cup to his or her lips. The baby is not yet able to sit without support for more than just a short period of time. The baby should have doubled the birth weight.
