Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Rectal atresia is a complete obstruction of the rectum that prevents passage of stool. Immediate surgical correction is needed. The nurse places priority on obtaining informed consent. Intubation will be performed as part of the operative procedure. There is no need for protective isolation. The child may or may not need a colostomy, depending on the anatomical location of the defect.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Infection with H. pylori is the most common cause of gastric ulcers in children. Secondary ulcers are often caused by burn injury (and other critical illnesses), stress, and use of irritants such as tobacco, alcohol, NSAIDs, bisphosphonates, and potassium supplements.
