Extract:
A nurse is assessing a child who has nephrotic syndrome.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Facial edema. Facial edema is a common finding in patients with nephrotic syndrome due to fluid retention. This is caused by the loss of protein in the urine, leading to low albumin levels and fluid accumulation in the tissues. Hypertension (choice
A) is not a typical finding in nephrotic syndrome unless severe volume overload occurs. Smokey brown urine (choice
C) may indicate rhabdomyolysis, not typically seen in nephrotic syndrome. Polyuria (choice
D) is more commonly associated with conditions like diabetes insipidus, not nephrotic syndrome.
Therefore, based on the pathophysiology of nephrotic syndrome, facial edema is the most expected finding.
