Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Pulse Check with Archer Nursing, Dr. Morgan Taylor, DNP, CPNP, CCRN breaks down intussusception, a pediatric gastrointestinal emergency where one segment of the bowel telescopes into another, cutting off blood flow and causing rapid deterioration if not treated quickly. We walk through the classic presentation you’re expected to recognize on exams and in real life—and connect the anatomy, symptoms, and nursing priorities so you know exactly what to do when the signs appear. This episode is especially helpful for nursing students, pediatric clinical rotations, NCLEX prep, and new nurses who need to quickly identify intussusception—and understand why prompt intervention can prevent bowel necrosis and surgery. Find everything Archer Review has to offer: ⁠⁠archerreview.link/PulseCheck⁠⁠ Use code PULSECHECK10 - an exclusive discount just for our listeners! Connect with us!  📸 Instagram: @archernursing 📘 Facebook: Archer NCLEX Review 🎵 TikTok: @archernursing ▶️ YouTube: Archer Review NCLEX, USMLE, TEAS7, and FNP
