A non-potty trained child with nephrotic syndrome
Question 1 of 5
In a non-potty trained child with nephrotic syndrome is the best way to detect fluid retention?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Weigh the child daily. Daily weight monitoring is essential in detecting fluid retention in a child with nephrotic syndrome. Sudden weight gain can indicate fluid accumulation due to decreased kidney function. Weighing daily provides immediate feedback on fluid status and allows prompt adjustments in treatment.
B: Measuring abdominal girth weekly may not be as sensitive as daily weight monitoring in detecting fluid retention.
C: Counting wet diapers may not accurately reflect fluid retention, as nephrotic syndrome primarily affects kidney function, not urine output.
D: Testing urine for hematuria is not specific for detecting fluid retention; it indicates presence of blood in urine, not fluid status.
