◉ Which diagnostic finding is present when a child has primary
nephrotic syndrome?
a. Hyperalbuminemia c. Leukocytosis
b. Positive ASO titer d. Proteinuria. Answer: ANS: D
Large amounts of protein are lost through the urine as a result of an
increased permeability of the glomerular
basement membrane. Hypoalbuminemia is present because of loss of
albumin through the defective
glomerulus and the livers inability to synthesize proteins to balance
the loss. ASO titer is negative in a child
with primary nephrotic syndrome. Leukocytosis is not a diagnostic
finding in primary nephrotic syndrome
◉ Which factor predisposes a child to urinary tract infections?
a. Increased fluid intake c. Prostatic secretions in males
b. Short urethra in young girls d. Frequent emptying of the bladder.
Answer: ANS: B
The short urethra in females provides a ready pathway for invasions
of organisms. Increased fluid intake and
,frequent bladder emptying offer protective measures against urinary
tract infections. Prostatic secretions have
antibacterial properties that inhibit bacteria.
◉ What should the nurse recommend to prevent urinary tract
infections in young girls?
a. Wearing cotton underpants
b. Limiting bathing as much as possible
c. Increasing fluids; decreasing salt intake
d. Cleansing the perineum with water after voiding. Answer: ANS: A
Cotton underpants are preferable to nylon underpants. No evidence
exists that limiting bathing, increasing
fluids, decreasing salt intake, or cleansing the perineum with water
decreases urinary tract infections in young
girls
◉ . The nurse is assisting the pediatric provider with a newborn
examination. The provider notes that the infant
has hypospadias. The nurse understands that hypospadias refers to:
a. Absence of a urethral opening.
b. Penis shorter than usual for age.
c. Urethral opening along dorsal surface of penis.
d. Urethral opening along ventral surface of penis.. Answer: ANS: D
Hypospadias is a congenital condition in which the urethral opening is
located anywhere along the ventral
, surface of the penis. The urethral opening is present, but not at the
glans. Hypospadias does not refer to the size
of the penis. When the urethral opening is along the dorsal surface of
the penis, it is known as epispadias.
◉ The narrowing of the preputial opening of the foreskin is called:
a. Chordee. c. Epispadias.
b. Phimosis. d. Hypospadias. Answer: ANS: B
Phimosis is the narrowing or stenosis of the preputial opening of the
foreskin. Chordee is the ventral curvature
of the penis. Epispadias is the meatal opening on the dorsal surface of
the penis. Hypospadias is a congenital
condition in which the urethral opening is located anywhere along the
ventral surface of the penis.
◉ An objective of care for the child with nephrosis is to:
a. Reduce blood pressure.
b. Reduce excretion of urinary protein.
c. Increase excretion of urinary protein.
d. Increase ability of tissues to retain fluid. Answer: ANS: B
The objectives of therapy for the child with nephrosis include
reduction of the excretion of urinary protein,
reduction of fluid retention, prevention of infection, and minimizing
of complications associated with therapy. Blood pressure is usually
not elevated in nephrosis. Increased excretion of urinary protein and
increased ability
