A nurse is collecting data from a child who has nephrotic syndrome. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?

A. Allowing siblings to visit the client in the hospital

- Allowing siblings to visit the client in the hospital is a compassionate gesture and promotes family-centered care. However, it may not directly address the concept of atraumatic care, which focuses on minimizing physical and psychological stress related to healthcare procedures.

B. Using a doll to demonstrate an invasive procedure

- Using a doll to demonstrate an invasive procedure is an example of atraumatic care. It allows the nurse to provide preparatory information to the child in a non-threatening and understandable manner. By visually demonstrating the procedure on a doll, the child can better understand what will happen, reducing anxiety and fear.

C. Encouraging communication between the parents and nurse

- Encouraging communication between the parents and nurse is important for providing holistic care and addressing the child's needs. While effective communication is essential, it may not directly demonstrate the concept of atraumatic care unless it involves discussing how to minimize stress and anxiety during procedures.

D. Arranging the room to accommodate religious practices

- Arranging the room to accommodate religious practices is a form of patient-centered care and respects the cultural and religious beliefs of the patient and family. While important for overall comfort and respect for the patient's values, it may not directly relate to the concept of atraumatic care, which specifically focuses on reducing stress and anxiety during healthcare procedures.

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.
