ATI Pediatric Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A child with nephrotic syndrome has not experienced diuresis after a month on corticosteroids. What protocol can the nurse encourage to induce diuresis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: If diuresis has not occurred with corticosteroids in nephrotic syndrome, a diuretic like Furosemide (Lasix) is the appropriate choice to promote diuresis. Furosemide works by increasing urine production and reducing fluid retention. While Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory agent, it does not directly induce diuresis. Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic and is not indicated for promoting diuresis in this scenario. Cyclophosphamide is an immunosuppressant, not an antisuppressant, and is not typically used to induce diuresis in nephrotic syndrome.

Question 3 of 5

Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 4 of 5
Which urinalysis result should the nurse anticipate for a child admitted with acute glomerulonephritis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In acute glomerulonephritis, the glomeruli become inflamed, leading to the leakage of red blood cells (hematuria) and proteins (proteinuria) into the urine. These are hallmark findings in this condition due to the damage to the glomerular filtration barrier. Bacteriuria, presence of bacteria in the urine, is not typically associated with acute glomerulonephritis unless there is a concurrent urinary tract infection. Specific gravity may be normal or decreased due to the loss of proteins in the urine, rather than increased. Therefore, the correct anticipated urinalysis result for a child with acute glomerulonephritis is hematuria and proteinuria.
Question 5 of 5
Which statement by the parents indicates understanding of the process involved with a kidney transplant for a child with renal failure?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because parents should understand the importance of medication adherence post-transplant to prevent rejection. Following the prescribed medication regimen is crucial for the success of the kidney transplant and the overall health of the child. Monitoring and ensuring the child takes their medications as directed by the healthcare provider are essential components of post-transplant care.
