Question 1 of 5
The nurses admitting a school-age child in acute renal failure or reduced glomerular filtration rate. Which urine test is the most useful clinical indication of glomerular filtration rate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Creatinine. Creatinine is a waste product produced by muscles and filtered by the kidneys. In cases of reduced glomerular filtration rate, creatinine levels in the urine will be elevated as the kidneys struggle to excrete it. This makes creatinine a valuable indicator of renal function. Protein level (
A) is more indicative of kidney damage, while osmolality (
C) reflects the concentration of solutes in urine. pH (
D) is a measure of urine acidity and not a direct indicator of glomerular filtration rate.
