A nurse is caring for a child who has atopic dermatitis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

A. Hematuria:

Hematuria, or blood in the urine, is a common finding in urinary tract infections (UTIs). It occurs due to irritation and inflammation of the urinary tract lining, causing small blood vessels to leak blood into the urine.

B. Urinary frequency:

Urinary frequency, or the need to urinate more often than usual, is a classic symptom of a UTI. It occurs because the infection irritates the bladder lining, leading to a frequent urge to urinate even when the bladder is not full.

C. Polyuria:

Polyuria, or excessive urination, is not typically associated with uncomplicated urinary tract infections. Instead, UTIs usually cause urinary frequency without necessarily increasing the total volume of urine produced (polyuria).

D. Dependent edema:

Dependent edema, or swelling in the lower extremities due to fluid accumulation, is not a typical finding in urinary tract infections. UTIs primarily affect the urinary system and do not typically cause systemic fluid retention.

E. Dysuria:

Dysuria, or painful urination, is another hallmark symptom of urinary tract infections. It occurs due to inflammation and irritation of the urinary tract lining, making urination uncomfortable or even painful.

A. Monitor the client's hemoglobin level: Monitoring the client's hemoglobin level is not relevant during a seizure. Seizures typically do not directly affect hemoglobin levels, so this action is not appropriate.

B. Restrain the client's extremities: Restraint is generally not recommended during a seizure unless absolutely necessary for the safety of the client or others. Restraint can potentially cause injury to the client and increase agitation during the seizure.

C. Place the client in a prone position: Placing the client in a prone (face-down) position during a seizure is not recommended. This position may increase the risk of airway obstruction and compromise the client's ability to breathe effectively.

D. Record the time and length of the seizure: This is the correct answer. During a seizure, the nurse should prioritize ensuring the safety of the client and others. After ensuring safety, the nurse should document important details about the seizure, including the time it began and ended, as well as any observed symptoms or behaviors. This documentation can provide valuable information for the client's healthcare team and help guide future treatment decisions.
