CGRN GI/Endoscopy Practice Exam

Category - Basic Care

Niño is scheduled for radiographic tests to rule out intussusception. Based on this information, the nurse should be prepared to:

  1. Tell Nino's parents the child will have an endoscopy
  2. Tell Nino's parents the child will have a barium enema
  3. Inform Nino's parents there is confirmed telescoping of the bowel wall
  4. None of the above choices are true
Explanation

Answer: B - The definitive diagnosis of intussusception is based on a barium enema, which clearly demonstrates the telescoping of the bowel wall, which blocks the flow of the barium. The caregiver should inform Nino's parents that a barium enema will be given to confirm the telescoping before treatment.
