ATI LPN Paediatrics Nursing Proctored Exam 4
A nurse is collecting data from a child who has nephrotic syndrome. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Polyuria: Nephrotic syndrome typically causes oliguria, not polyuria. B. Periorbital edema: Fluid retention due to hypoalbuminemia commonly manifests as periorbital edema, especially in the morning. C. Orange-tinged urine. This is not a characteristic of nephrotic syndrome. Urine may appear foamy due to proteinuria. D. Hypertension: While hypertension can occur in some renal disorders, it is not a primary feature of nephrotic syndrome, which is characterized by edema, hypoalbuminemia, and proteinuria.
