    A nurse is caring for a child who has Kawasaki disease. Which of the following systems is primarily affected by this disease?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Cardiovascular: Kawasaki disease is a systemic vasculitis that primarily affects the cardiovascular system. It can lead to complications like coronary artery aneurysms and myocarditis. B. Integumentary: Although the disease presents with skin symptoms (rash, peeling), they are secondary manifestations. C. Gastrointestinal: GI symptoms may occur but are not the main focus. D. Respiratory: Kawasaki disease does not primarily involve the respiratory system.
