The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends the fasting total cholesterol level is elevated when serum cholesterol is

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A fasting total cholesterol level ≥200 mg/dL is considered elevated.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The nurse should identify the sound heard during auscultation as tachypnea, which is a rapid, regular breathing pattern. This breathing pattern often occurs with anxiety, fever, metabolic acidosis, or severe anemia.

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.

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.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Aniridia and hemihypertrophy are features of WAGR syndrome, which increases the risk of Wilms tumor.
