Choice D, 'Centering,' refers to a child focusing on only one aspect of a situation and not considering other viewpoints.
A 10-month-old infant is diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux. An esophageal (pH) probe monitor is ordered. What explanation for the purpose of the esophageal probe should the nurse provide to the parents?
- A. Assist in the passage of formula through the esophagus
- B. Identify the number of reflux episodes that are occurring
- C. Determine the time it takes for the stomach to empty its contents
- D. Monitor the pH within the stomach
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. The esophageal pH probe is used to identify the frequency and severity of reflux episodes by measuring the pH in the esophagus. Choice A is incorrect because the probe does not assist in the passage of formula through the esophagus. Choice C is incorrect as determining the time it takes for the stomach to empty its contents would require a different procedure. Choice D is incorrect as the esophageal pH probe monitors the pH in the esophagus, not the stomach.
