Extract:
A nurse is collecting data from a client who is at 30 weeks of gestation.
Question 1 of 5
Which finding should the nurse identify as a manifestation of pyelonephritis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Flank pain. Pyelonephritis is an infection of the kidneys which often presents with flank pain, typically on one side. This pain is a key manifestation due to inflammation and swelling of the kidney tissue. Epigastric discomfort (
A) and abdominal cramping (
B) are not typical symptoms of pyelonephritis. Temperature of 37.2°C (99.8°F) (
C) may indicate a low-grade fever, which can be present in infections but is not specific to pyelonephritis.
Therefore, the most specific and characteristic manifestation of pyelonephritis is flank pain (
D).
