4.

A nurse gets a phone call from a concerned parent of a 6 week old infant. The parent states the client's emesis is absent of bile and is blood tinged. What do you initially suspect?
- A.
  
  Chronic GER
- B.
  
  Intussception
- C.
  
  Pyloric Stenosis
- D.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
C. Pyloric Stenosis

Explanation
Based on the symptoms described by the concerned parent (absence of bile and blood tinged emesis), the nurse would initially suspect pyloric stenosis. Pyloric stenosis is a condition in which the muscle between the stomach and small intestine thickens, causing a blockage. This can lead to forceful vomiting, which may be blood tinged due to irritation of the stomach lining. Chronic GER (gastroesophageal reflux) and intussusception are not typically associated with blood tinged emesis, making pyloric stenosis the most likely explanation.

6.

In the client with GER, which of the following medications is used to increase LES pressure & accelerate gastric emptying time?
- A.
  
  Zantac (Ranitidine)
- B.
  
  Pepcid (Famotidine)
- C.
  
  Regland (Metoclopramide)
- D.
  
  Flexeril (Cyclobenzaprine)
Correct Answer
C. Regland (Metoclopramide)

Explanation
Metoclopramide is the correct answer because it is a medication that can increase the pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and speed up the emptying of the stomach. This can be beneficial for clients with gastroesophageal reflux (GER) as it helps to prevent the backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus. Zantac (Ranitidine) and Pepcid (Famotidine) are both medications that reduce stomach acid production but do not affect LES pressure or gastric emptying time. Flexeril (Cyclobenzaprine) is a muscle relaxant and is not used for treating GER.
