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

A. Adhere to strict dietary reduction of oily foods:

Dietary changes, particularly reducing oily and greasy foods, are often recommended as a measure to manage acne. However, the evidence supporting this recommendation is mixed, and strict dietary restrictions may not be necessary for all individuals with acne. Therefore, while the nurse might mention the potential impact of diet on acne, strict dietary reduction of oily foods is not typically the primary focus of acne treatment.

B. Express the larger comedones periodically:

Expressing or squeezing comedones (blackheads or whiteheads) can lead to further inflammation, scarring, and infection. It is not recommended to express comedones at home without proper training and technique. Attempting to express comedones can exacerbate acne and may cause more harm than good.

C. Minimize sun exposure:

Sun exposure can worsen acne and lead to increased inflammation and hyperpigmentation. Therefore, it is important for individuals with acne to minimize sun exposure and use sunscreen with a broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher.

D. Use friction when washing the face:

Excessive friction or aggressive scrubbing when washing the face can irritate the skin and worsen acne. Instead, the nurse should advise gentle cleansing of the face using a mild, non-comedogenic cleanser and lukewarm water. Harsh scrubbing or using abrasive cleansers can disrupt the skin barrier and exacerbate acne symptoms.

A. Broth:

Broth is not typically recommended for children with acute diarrhea because it lacks the necessary electrolytes to adequately replace those lost through diarrhea. While it can help provide some fluids, it may not be sufficient for rehydration and could potentially worsen dehydration if electrolytes are not adequately replaced.

B. Apple juice:

While apple juice may seem like a hydrating option, it is not the best choice for children with acute diarrhea. Apple juice contains a high amount of sugar, which can draw water into the intestines and worsen diarrhea. Additionally, it lacks the necessary electrolytes needed for rehydration.

C. Cherry gelatin:

Cherry gelatin is not recommended for rehydrating a child with acute diarrhea. Like apple juice, it contains sugar, which can exacerbate diarrhea by drawing water into the intestines. Gelatin also lacks the electrolytes needed to replace those lost through diarrhea.

D. Pedialyte:

Pedialyte is the preferred choice for rehydrating a child with acute diarrhea. It is specifically formulated to replace lost fluids and electrolytes and is less likely to worsen diarrhea compared to sugary beverages like juice or gelatin. Pedialyte helps prevent dehydration by providing a balanced mixture of water, sugar, and electrolytes, making it an effective choice for managing diarrhea in children.
