The nurse is collecting data on a child recently diagnosed with glomerulonephritis. Which question to the parent would elicit information about the cause of this disease?

"Has your child had any diarrhea?"

"Have you noticed any rashes on your child?"

"Did your child sustain any injuries to the kidney area?"

"Did your child recently complain of a sore throat?"

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

A. "Has your child had any diarrhea?" Diarrhea is not typically associated with glomerulonephritis.
B. "Have you noticed any rashes on your child?" Rashes are not typically associated with glomerulonephritis.
C. "Did your child sustain any injuries to the kidney area?" Direct kidney trauma is not a common cause of glomerulonephritis in children.
D. "Did your child recently complain of a sore throat?" Poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (a common cause of acute glomerulonephritis in children) often follows a streptococcal throat or skin infection. Asking about a recent sore throat can provide important information about a possible streptococcal infection.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Insulin is absorbed most rapidly when injected in the thigh. Insulin is actually absorbed most rapidly in the abdomen, not the thigh.
B. Use cold insulin for injection to minimize site pain. Insulin should be at room temperature for injection to reduce discomfort and avoid altered absorption rates. Cold insulin can increase injection pain.
C. Massage the site after injection to promote absorption. Massaging the injection site can cause unpredictable insulin absorption and is not recommended.
D. Rotate the injection site to keep insulin levels consistent. Rotating the injection sites helps prevent lipodystrophy and ensures consistent insulin absorption. It helps maintain stable blood glucose levels.

A. Percussing ankle and knee reflexes B. Assessing for bowel sounds C. Performing range-of-motion exercises on low extremities D. Palpating the abdomen

Correct Answer is D

B. Assessing for bowel sounds. Routine part of assessment and does not involve manipulating the tumor.
C. Performing range-of-motion exercises on lower extremities. Safe and non-invasive, unrelated to the abdominal tumor.
