The nurse is caring for an 8-week-old male who has just been diagnosed with Hirschsprung disease. The parents ask what they should expect. Select the nurse’s best response. 1. “It is really an easy disease to manage. Most children are placed on stool softeners to help with constipation until the constipation resolves.” 2. “A permanent stool diversion, called a colostomy, will be placed by the surgeon to bypass the narrowed area.” 3. “Daily bowel irrigations will help your child maintain regular bowel habits.” 4. “Although your child will require surgery, there are different ways to manage the disease, depending on how much of your child’s bowel is involved.”
