Pediatric client with nephrotic syndrome.
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a pediatric client who has been admitted with nephrotic syndrome. Which medication should the nurse expect to administer for the therapeutic management of nephrotic syndrome?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Prednisone. Nephrotic syndrome is often treated with corticosteroids like Prednisone to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system. This helps decrease protein loss in the urine and control symptoms. Oral penicillin (choice
A) is not typically used as a treatment for nephrotic syndrome. Labetalol (choice
B) is a beta-blocker used for hypertension, not for nephrotic syndrome. Aggressive intravenous fluid resuscitation (choice
C) may be necessary for acute kidney injury but is not a primary treatment for nephrotic syndrome. In summary, Prednisone is the most appropriate choice for managing nephrotic syndrome due to its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects.
