Question 1 of 5

The nurse is conducting an assessment on a school-age child with urosepsis. Which assessment finding should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: In a school-age child with urosepsis, the nurse should expect the assessment finding of fever with a positive blood culture. Urosepsis is a severe infection in the urinary tract that has spread to the bloodstream, causing systemic symptoms such as fever. Positive blood cultures indicate the presence of bacteria in the bloodstream, confirming the diagnosis of sepsis. Other common symptoms of urosepsis may include chills, rapid heart rate, increased respiratory rate, and altered mental status. Proteinuria and edema (choice B) are more indicative of kidney disorders such as nephrotic syndrome rather than urosepsis. Oliguria and hypertension (choice C) may be seen in conditions like acute kidney injury but are not specific to urosepsis. Anemia and thrombocytopenia (choice D) are more characteristic of conditions such as hemolytic uremic syndrome rather than urosepsis.

Question 4 of 5

Which of the ff factors predisposes a client to the development of TB?

Correct Answer: D

Adequate nutrition is essential for maintaining a healthy immune system that can effectively fight off pathogens. Malnourished individuals are less able to mount a strong immune response, thus increasing their vulnerability to contracting TB and experiencing more severe symptoms and complications from the disease.

Question 5 of 5

Which tool measures body fat most accurately?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Calipers are considered the most accurate tool for measuring body fat percentage when used properly. Calipers work by measuring skinfold thickness at various locations on the body, and this measurement is then used in specific equations to calculate body fat percentage. While the other tools mentioned can provide some insights into body composition, they are not as precise as calipers when it comes to accurately measuring body fat percentage.
