Question 1 of 5

The home care nurse visits a child diagnosed with scarlet fever who is being treated with penicillin G potassium. The mother tells the nurse that the child has only voided a small amount of tea-colored urine since the previous day. The mother also reports that the child's appetite has decreased and that the child's face was swollen this morning. How should the nurse interpret these new signs/symptoms?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Scarlet fever is an infectious and communicable disease caused by group A beta-hemolytic streptococci. The signs/symptoms identified in the question indicate acute glomerulonephritis, indicative of nephrotoxicity. These signs/symptoms are not normal and should not be ignored. Although the child is receiving penicillin G potassium, these are not signs/symptoms of an allergic reaction.
