    A nurse is assessing a toddler who has acute nephrotic syndrome. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Facial edema is a common finding in nephrotic syndrome due to hypoalbuminemia and fluid retention. B. Irritability can occur due to discomfort or malaise associated with the condition but is not immediately concerning. C. Poor appetite is a common symptom in children with nephrotic syndrome and is expected. D. Yellow nasal discharge may indicate an infection, which is a concern in children with nephrotic syndrome because they are at increased risk for infections due to their condition and the potential use of immunosuppressive therapies.
