Practice Question
A nurse is collecting data from a child who has acute glomerulonephritis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Periorbital edema
Rationale:
🟣 Periorbital edema (swelling around the eyes) is a classic finding in acute glomerulonephritis, especially noticeable in the morning. It results from fluid retention due to decreased glomerular filtration and sodium and water retention.
🟣 This condition often follows a streptococcal infection and leads to inflammation in the glomeruli, impairing kidney filtration.
🟣 Blood pressure is usually elevated, not decreased, due to fluid overload and vasoconstriction.
🟣 Urine in glomerulonephritis is typically dark, tea-colored, or cola-colored, not pale yellow, due to hematuria.
🟣 Urination is generally decreased (oliguria), not increased, due to reduced kidney function and fluid retention.
