1. Which statement by a school-age girl indicates the need for further teaching about the prevention of urinary tract infections (UTIs)? a. “I always wear cotton underwear.” b. “I really enjo... y taking a bubble bath.” c. “I go to the bathroom every 3 to 4 hours.” d. “I drink four to six glasses of fluid every day.” ANS: B Bubble baths should be avoided because they tend to cause urethral irritation, which leads to UTI. It is desirable to wear cotton rather than nylon underwear. Nylon tends to hold in moisture and promote bacterial growth, whereas cotton absorbs moisture. Children should be encouraged to urinate at least four times a day. An adequate fluid intake prevents the buildup of bacteria in the bladder.

The nurse assessing a child with acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis should be alert for which finding? a. Increased urine output b. Hypotension c. Tea-colored urine d. Weight gain ANS: C Acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis is characterized by hematuria, proteinuria, edema, and renal insufficiency. Tea-colored urine is an indication of hematuria. In acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis the urine output may be decreased. In acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis blood pressure may be increased. Edema may be noted around the eyelids and ankles in patients with acute post streptococcal glomerulonephritis and can contribute to weight gain; however, weight gain is associated more with nephrotic syndrome.

The mother of a child who was recently diagnosed with acute glomerulonephritis asks the nurse why the physician keeps talking about “casts” in the urine. The nurse explains that casts in the urine indicate a. glomerular injury. b. glomerular healing. c. recent streptococcal infection.d. excessive amounts of protein in the urine. ANS: A The presence of red blood cell casts in the urine indicates glomerular injury. Casts in the urine are abnormal findings and are indicative of glomerular injury, not glomerular healing. A urinalysis positive for casts does not confirm a recent streptococcal infection. Casts in the urine are unrelated to proteinuria. PTS: 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension/Understanding REF: p. 1016 OBJ: Nursing Process: Implementation MSC: Client Needs: Physiologic Integrity 4. Which clinical finding warrants further intervention for the child with acute post streptococcal glomerulonephritis? a. Weight loss to within 1 lb of the preillness weight b. Urine output of 1 mL/kg/hr c. A positive antistreptolysin O (ASO) titer d. Inspiratory crackles ANS: D Children with excess fluid volume may have pulmonary edema. Inspiratory crackles indicate fluid in the lungs. Pulmonary edema can be a life-threatening complication. Weight loss is an indication that the child is responding to treatment. The urine output of 1 mL/kg/hr is acceptable. A positive ASO titer indicates the presence of antibodies to streptococcal bacteria; it is used to aid in diagnosis of acute po [Show More]
