    The nurse caring for a child with mononucleosis can expect the child to exhibit which symptoms?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Ear pain and fever are not characteristic symptoms of mononucleosis.B. Mononucleosis is often associated with a positive Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) test and symptoms of malaise, fatigue, and lymphadenopathy.C. Increased BUN and serum creatinine indicate kidney function issues, which are not typically associated with mononucleosis.D. While elevated WBC and sedimentation rate can occur, they are nonspecific and can be seen in many conditions; they are not defining symptoms of mononucleosis.
