    A nurse is caring for a 5-year-old child who has acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that treatment has been effective?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Clear urine indicates that the kidneys are functioning properly, with decreased protein and blood in the urine, which is a sign that treatment for poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis has been effective. B. Pain with voiding is not a characteristic symptom of poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis, so this finding would not indicate treatment effectiveness. C. Odorless urine is normal but does not specifically reflect improvement in glomerulonephritis. D. A normal temperature (37.2° C) could indicate general health, but it is not specific for kidney function improvement in this condition.
