A nurse is assessing a child who has heart failure.
Which of the following findings is a clinical manifestation associated with this diagnosis?

Choice A rationale

Administering total parenteral nutrition is not typically necessary following repair of Meckel’s Diverticulum. The patient is usually able to resume normal eating habits after surgery.

Choice B rationale

Long-term antibiotic therapy is not typically required following repair of Meckel’s Diverticulum. Antibiotics may be used in the short term to prevent infection, but long-term use is not usually necessary.

Choice C rationale

Maintaining an NG tube for decompression is a common part of care following abdominal surgery, including repair of Meckel’s Diverticulum. This helps to relieve pressure and allow the intestines to rest and heal.

Choice D rationale

Teaching the client about ostomy care is not typically necessary following repair of Meckel’s Diverticulum, as an ostomy is not usually required.

Choice A rationale

Pinpoint pupils are not a typical finding in an adolescent who has inhaled gasoline. Pinpoint pupils are more commonly associated with opioid use.

Choice B rationale

Hypothermia is not a typical finding in an adolescent who has inhaled gasoline. Inhalation of gasoline can cause central nervous system depression, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, and ataxia.

Choice C rationale

Ataxia, or lack of muscle coordination, can occur after inhaling gasoline. The gasoline vapors can depress the central nervous system, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, and ataxia.

Choice D rationale

Hyperactive reflexes are not a typical finding in an adolescent who has inhaled gasoline. Inhalation of gasoline can cause central nervous system depression, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, and ataxia.
