Child recently admitted for suspected rheumatic fever
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the laboratory results of a child who was recently admitted for suspected rheumatic fever. The nurse should identify that which of the following laboratory tests can contribute to confirming this diagnosis?
Correct Answer: B,C,E
Rationale: The correct laboratory tests to confirm rheumatic fever are ESR, ASO titer, and CRP. ESR measures inflammation and can be elevated in rheumatic fever. ASO titer helps detect a recent streptococcal infection, a trigger for rheumatic fever. CRP is a marker for inflammation and can be elevated in rheumatic fever. BUN is not specific to rheumatic fever. PTT is used to evaluate blood clotting and is not indicative of rheumatic fever.
Therefore, choices A, D, and E are incorrect for confirming rheumatic fever.
