Ati nur235 paediatrics final proctored exam
The nurse is caring for a pediatric client admitted with nephrotic syndrome. What assessment finding would likely be noted in a client with this diagnosis?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Tea-colored urine is more typical of glomerulonephritis rather than nephrotic syndrome. B. A recent streptococcus infection is commonly associated with post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis, not nephrotic syndrome. C. Polyuria is not a common feature of nephrotic syndrome; rather, oliguria (decreased urine output) may occur. D. Periorbital edema is a hallmark sign of nephrotic syndrome, resulting from significant protein loss in the urine, leading to hypoalbuminemia and fluid retention.
