A child who has nephrotic syndrome
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a child who has nephrotic syndrome. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Facial edema. In nephrotic syndrome, there is excessive protein loss in the urine, leading to hypoalbuminemia and decreased plasma oncotic pressure, resulting in fluid shifting into the interstitial spaces, particularly in dependent areas like the face. Polyuria (
A) is not typically a common finding. Smoky brown urine (
B) is more indicative of conditions like acute tubular necrosis. Hypertension (
C) is not a typical finding in nephrotic syndrome.
Therefore, facial edema (
D) is the most expected finding due to the underlying pathophysiology of nephrotic syndrome.
