. A nurse in an urgent care clinic is collecting data from a preschooler who reports painful urination. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a possible manifestation of a urinary tract infection?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Facial edema is not typically associated with a urinary tract infection (UTI). Edema may be seen in other conditions, such as nephrotic syndrome. B. An increased temperature (fever) is a common manifestation of a UTI. The body responds to the infection with an elevated temperature as part of the immune response. C. Moist mucus membranes are a sign of adequate hydration and are not specifically related to a UTI. D. Muscle twitching is not a common sign of a UTI. It could be related to electrolyte imbalances or neurological issues, but it is not typical for UTIs.
