A nurse is assessing a 3-month-old infant who has diarrhea. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

A. Give the child small sips of water. Giving water can be helpful, but frequent throat clearing may indicate bleeding, which should be assessed first.

B. Administer an analgesic. Pain management is important, but the immediate concern should be to rule out postoperative bleeding.

C. Observe the child's throat with a flashlight. Frequent throat clearing can be a sign of bleeding. The nurse should inspect the throat first to check for signs of hemorrhage, which is a serious complication.

D. Offer the child an ice collar. An ice collar can help reduce swelling and pain but should be done after assessing for bleeding.

A. Sausage-shaped mass in the upper right abdomen A sausage-shaped mass in the upper right abdomen is indicative of intussusception, not celiac disease.

B. Red-currant, jelly-like stools: Red-currant, jelly-like stools are characteristic of intussusception, not celiac disease.

C. Hematemesis: Hematemesis (vomiting blood) is not a typical symptom of celiac disease. It is more commonly associated with conditions involving gastrointestinal bleeding such as esophageal varices or severe gastritis.

D. Steatorrhea: Steatorrhea (fatty stools) is a common finding in celiac disease due to malabsorption of fats in the intestine. The inability to digest and absorb fat leads to pale, foul-smelling, and bulky stools.
