    A nurse is assessing a child who has nephrotic syndrome. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Hypertension is not typical for nephrotic syndrome; instead, nephrotic syndrome often presents with low blood pressure or normal blood pressure. B. Polyuria is more commonly associated with conditions like diabetes mellitus rather than nephrotic syndrome, which typically presents with reduced urine output. C. Facial edema is a common finding in nephrotic syndrome due to fluid retention and is often noticeable in the periorbital area. D. Smokey brown urine is indicative of hematuria or glomerulonephritis, not nephrotic syndrome.
