Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. ACE inhibitor: ACE inhibitors are used to manage hypertension or proteinuria but are not the classification for prednisone.
B. Loop diuretics: Loop diuretics (e.g., furosemide) manage edema but are unrelated to prednisone.
C. Corticosteroids: Prednisone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and suppresses the immune response, which helps decrease proteinuria in nephrotic syndrome.
D. NSAIDs: NSAIDs are anti-inflammatory but are not used for treating nephrotic syndrome as they do not reduce proteinuria or edema.

A. “The operation will straighten out the kink in then intestine.” B. “I want to learn how to use the feeding tube as soon as possible.” C. “I’m glad my child will have bowel movements now.” D. “I’m glad that the ostomy is only temporary.”

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. "The operation will straighten out the kink in the intestine.": Hirschsprung’s disease involves a lack of nerve cells in the colon, not a physical kink.
B. "I want to learn how to use the feeding tube as soon as possible.": Feeding tubes are not a standard part of treatment for Hirschsprung’s disease.
C. "I’m glad my child will have bowel movements now.": While the surgery will help bowel function, the initial goal is creating an ostomy to divert stool.
D. "I’m glad that the ostomy is only temporary.": The initial surgery often involves a temporary ostomy to allow the colon to heal before definitive repair.
