    HESI RN Exit Proctored Exam

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

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Ear pain and fever suggest otitis media, not mononucleosis. B. Elevated BUN and creatinine indicate kidney dysfunction, unrelated to mononucleosis. C. Mononucleosis is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus and commonly presents with fatigue, malaise, and lymphadenopathy. D. While WBC and sedimentation rate may be elevated, they are not specific to mononucleosis.
