    A nurse is caring for a child who has acute glomerulonephritis. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A reason: Muehrcke lines on the nails are associated with certain medical conditions but are not indicative of acute glomerulonephritis. Choice B reason: Correct. Hypertension is a common manifestation of acute glomerulonephritis due to the impaired filtration function of the kidneys. Choice C reason: Dehydration is not a typical manifestation of acute glomerulonephritis. Instead, fluid retention and edema are more common. Choice D reason: Hypokalemia (low potassium levels) is not a typical finding in acute glomerulonephritis. Instead, hyperkalemia (high potassium levels) may occur.
