A nurse in an emergency department is caring for an adult who is experiencing an acute asthma attack. Which of the following medications should the nurse expect to administer?

Choice A reason: This statement is incorrect, as the child will not have normal bowel movements immediately after the initial surgery. The surgery involves removing the affected part of the colon and creating a temporary ostomy, which is an opening in the abdomen that allows stool to pass into a bag. The child will need a second surgery to reconnect the bowel and close the ostomy.

Choice B reason: This statement is incorrect, as the child will not need a feeding tube after the initial surgery. The child will be able to eat and drink normally but may need to follow a low-fiber diet to avoid constipation and bowel obstruction.

Choice C reason: This statement is incorrect, as the child will not need a urinary catheter after the initial surgery. The child will be able to urinate normally but may need to drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration and urinary tract infections.

Choice D reason: This statement is correct, as the child's ostomy is only temporary and will be closed in a second surgery. The parent should be glad that the child will eventually have a normal bowel function and appearance. The parent should also learn how to care for the ostomy and change the bag until the second surgery.

Choice A reason: Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is a condition in which the pyloric sphincter becomes thickened and obstructs the passage of food from the stomach to the duodenum. It causes projectile vomiting, dehydration, and weight loss, but not a palpable mass or bloody stools.

Choice B reason: Intussusception is a condition in which a segment of the intestine telescopes into another segment, causing obstruction, inflammation, and ischemia. It causes a palpable mass in the upper right quadrant, abdominal pain, and stools mixed with blood and mucus, also known as "currant jelly" stools.

Choice C reason: Inguinal hernia is a condition in which a part of the intestine protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall near the inguinal canal. It causes a bulge in the groin area, especially when the infant cries or strains. It does not cause a mass in the upper right quadrant or bloody stools.

Choice D reason: Tracheoesophageal fistula is a congenital anomaly in which there is an abnormal connection between the trachea and the esophagus. It causes excessive drooling, choking, coughing, and cyanosis during feeding, but not a palpable mass or bloody stools.
