A nurse is assessing a child who has bacterial pneumonia. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?

A) Tinnitus: This is not typically associated with pneumonia. Tinnitus refers to ringing in the ears and is more related to auditory issues rather than respiratory infections. B) Drooling: While drooling may occur in some cases of severe throat infections or in children with difficulty swallowing, it is not a classic sign of pneumonia. C) Fever: This is the correct answer. Fever is a common manifestation of bacterial pneumonia in children, indicating an immune response to infection. It often accompanies other symptoms like cough and difficulty breathing. D) Steatorrhea: This refers to fatty stools, which are more associated with malabsorption syndromes or pancreatic issues, not pneumonia. It is not an expected manifestation of bacterial pneumonia.
