Incomplete fusion of the nasomedial and intermaxillary
process during the fourth
week of embryonic development causes which condition
in an infant?
a. Sinus dysfunction
b. Esophageal malformation
c. Cleft lip
d. Cleft palate
2. Increased gastrin secretion
by the mother in the last
trimester of pregnancy may
cause which condition in the
infant?
a. Galactosemia
b. Esophageal atresis
c. Meconium ileus
d. Pyloric stenosis
3. Parents report their
3-week-old infant who eats
well and has gained weight
began to vomit forcefully for
no apparent reason. What
treatment option does the
healthcare professional prepare to educate the parent
on?
a. Wheat-free diet
b. A gastric feeding tube
c. Corrective surgery
d. Lactose-free diet
4. Which term is used to identify
a condition in which the deC. Cleft lip
Rationale: A cleft lip is caused by the incomplete fusion of the nasomedial and intermaxillary process during the fourth week
of embryonic development.
d. Pyloric stenosis
Rationale: Increased gastrin secretion by
the mother in the last trimester of pregnancy increases the likelihood of pyloric
stenosis in the infant. The overproduction
of gastric secretions in the infant may be
caused by stress-related factors in the mother. Increased gastrin secretion does not lead
to meconium ileus, esophageal atresia, or
galactosemia.
c. Corrective surgery
Rationale: This infant is displaying symptoms of pyloric stenosis. The key treatment
for pyloric stenosis is corrective surgery,
usually a laparoscopic pyloromyotomy. A
feeding tube is not needed; a wheat-free
diet would be indicated for celiac disease or
nonceliac gluten sensitivity; lactose-free diet
would be beneficial in lactose sensitivity.
d. Intestinal malrotation
