Pediatric client admitted with nephrotic syndrome.
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a pediatric client admitted with nephrotic syndrome. What assessment finding would likely be noted in a client with this diagnosis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Periorbital edema. In nephrotic syndrome, there is increased permeability of the glomerular filtration membrane, leading to loss of proteins like albumin. This results in decreased oncotic pressure, causing fluid to shift from blood vessels into tissues, leading to edema. Periorbital edema is a common manifestation due to loose connective tissue in this area. Tea-colored urine (choice
A) would typically indicate hematuria, not a common finding in nephrotic syndrome. Streptococcus infection (choice
B) is more associated with poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis. Polyuria (choice
C) is not a typical finding in nephrotic syndrome, as patients usually have decreased urine output due to reduced kidney function.
