The nurse is reviewing the record of a child admitted to the hospital with nephrotic syndrome. Which finding would the nurse expect to note documented in the record?

A. Increased appetite: Increased appetite is not typically associated with nephrotic syndrome, as protein loss can lead to generalized malaise and decreased appetite. B. Proteinuria: Proteinuria (excessive protein in the urine) is a hallmark finding in nephrotic syndrome due to increased permeability of the glomerular filtration barrier. C. Weight loss: Weight gain due to edema is more common in nephrotic syndrome than weight loss. D. Hyperalbuminemia: Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by hypoalbuminemia (low albumin levels) due to loss of albumin through the kidneys.
