    HESI Pediatric N158 Proctored Exam

    The nurse is assessing a preschool-aged child who presents with flank pain, dysuria, and low-grade fever. To determine a possible urinary tract infection, which additional information should the nurse gather from the parent?

    Explanation & Rationale

    To determine a possible urinary tract infection in a preschool-aged child who presents with flank pain, dysuria, and low-grade fever, the nurse should gather additional information from the parent about new onset bedwetting. New onset bedwetting can be a sign of a urinary tract infection in children. The other options (A, B, and D) are not directly related to determining a possible urinary tract infection in this situation.
