Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Cover the equipment used in the infant's care prior to the parents' first visit: While this might reduce visual distress, it does not directly support the grieving process or involve the parents in meaningful interactions.
B. Reduce the parents' distress by limiting the duration of their visit: Limiting visit time may increase distress by reducing opportunities for the parents to process emotions.
C. Avoid leaving the parents alone with the infant during their visit: Parents may value privacy to express their feelings and bond with the infant without outside observation.
D. Involve the parents in the infant's caregiving activities during their visit. Involving parents in caregiving helps them feel connected to their child and provides meaningful time to bond, which supports healthy grieving.

Explanation

Cough

  • Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis: Pyloric stenosis typically causes forceful vomiting but does not cause coughing.
  • Gastroesophageal Reflux: Coughing can occur due to aspiration or irritation of the esophagus.

Recurrent Emesis

  • Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis: Projectile vomiting after feedings is a hallmark sign of pyloric stenosis.
  • Gastroesophageal Reflux: GER can also cause recurrent vomiting, though it is usually less forceful than in pyloric stenosis.

Inadequate Weight Gain

  • Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis: The inability to retain feedings can lead to poor weight gain.
  • Gastroesophageal Reflux: Reflux can also result in poor weight gain if feedings are frequently vomited.

Irritability

  • Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis: Hunger due to inadequate feeding can cause irritability.
  • Gastroesophageal Reflux: Discomfort from esophageal irritation can lead to irritability.
