Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Decreased muscle mass can be a normal age-related change in older adults and is not necessarily indicative of elder maltreatment.

Choice B rationale:

White circles surrounding the cornea (arcus senilis) is a common age- related finding and is not necessarily indicative of elder maltreatment.

Choice C rationale:

The presence of urine odor on the client's clothes could indicate neglect or inadequate care and should be further investigated.

Choice D rationale:

Nodules on the metacarpal joints may be related to osteoarthritis, which is a common condition in older adults and may not necessarily indicate elder maltreatment.

A. Sodium 140 mEq/L B. Platelet count 350,000/mm3 C. Protein 2 g/dL D. Cholesterol 170 mg/dL

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

The sodium level of 140 mEq/L is within the normal range for children, which is 135 to 145 mEq/L. Sodium levels may be low in nephrotic syndrome due to fluid retention and dilutional hyponatremia, but this is not the case for this child.

Choice B rationale:

The platelet count of 350,000/mm3 is within the normal range for children, which is 150,000 to 450,000/mm3. Platelet levels may be elevated in nephrotic syndrome due to increased production by the bone marrow in response to inflammation and infection, but this is not the case for this child.

Choice C rationale:

The nurse should report the protein level of 2 g/dL to the provider, as this is abnormally low and indicates severe proteinuria. Proteinuria is a hallmark of nephrotic syndrome, as the glomeruli become damaged and allow protein to leak into the urine. Normal protein levels for children are 6 to 8 g/dL. Low protein levels can lead to edema, hypoalbuminemia, and hyperlipidemia.

Choice D rationale:

The cholesterol level of 170 mg/dL is within the normal range for children, which is less than 200 mg/dL. Cholesterol levels may be high in nephrotic syndrome due to increased synthesis by the liver as a compensatory mechanism for low protein levels, but this is not the case for this child.
