Question 2 of 5
A child is admitted with acute glomerulonephritis. What should the nurse expect the urinalysis to show during the acute phase?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse should expect the urinalysis to show hematuria (blood in the urine) and proteinuria (excess protein in the urine) during the acute phase of glomerulonephritis. Hematuria is a common finding due to the inflammation and damage to the glomeruli, which allows red blood cells to leak into the urine. Proteinuria occurs because the damaged glomeruli are unable to effectively filter out proteins, leading to their presence in the urine. Bacteriuria and increased specific gravity are not typically associated with acute glomerulonephritis.
