    A nurse is collecting data from a child who has nephrotic syndrome. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Hypertension: Hypertension is not typically associated with nephrotic syndrome unless there are underlying kidney complications. B. Polyuria: Polyuria (increased urine output) is not typically seen in nephrotic syndrome, which is characterized by proteinuria and edema. C. Orange-tinged urine: Orange-tinged urine suggests the presence of blood or bilirubin, which is not typically associated with nephrotic syndrome. D. Periorbital edema: Periorbital edema (swelling around the eyes) is a common manifestation of nephrotic syndrome due to fluid retention.
