The mother of a child with chronic renal failure who is receiving peritoneal dialysis at home asks the nurse what she can do if both inflow and drain times are increased. Which of the following would be the most appropriate for the nurse to include when responding to the mother? Assess the child for constipation. Decrease the amount of dialysate infused for each dwell. Incorporate the increase inflow and drain times into the dialysis schedule. Monitor the child for shoulder pain during inflow and drain times.
Assess the child for constipation.
After emphasizing to an adolescent with renal failure the importance of maintaining a positive self-concept, which of the following behaviors by the adolescent should the nurse identify as an indicator the plan is working? Reports of headaches, abdominal pain, and nausea. Insistence on making diet choices even if the foods chosen are restricted. Verbalization of plan to quit all after-school activities when returning home. Demonstration of desired to do the dressing change and take care of the medications.
Demonstration of desired to do the dressing change and take care of the medications. Demonstration of desire to do the dressing changes and manage medications implies compliance with the medical regimen and acceptance of the condition, thereby indicating a positive self-image . Diffuse somatic symptoms could indicate anxiety or problems with coping, with a negative effect on self-concept. Insistence on choosing restricted foods implies that the adolescent has not accepted the diagnosis and is noncompliant, possibly indicating a negative self-concept. Social withdrawal from activities may indicate depression, possibly negatively
Nephrotic syndrome frequent for which age group s/s pathophys diagnostic findings management
Nephrotic syndrome is output of protein in the urine due to glomerular damage s/s -frothy urine -weight gain -edema -hyperlipidemia -asites -fatigue -decrease volume output -proteinuria -hypoabuminemia -normal bp age group -2-6 yrs old pathophys -glomerular damage (permeable to protein) →proteinuria→proteinenemia→→ hyperlipidemia and decreased oncotic pressure → low blood pressure and edema (weight gain/ascites) diagnostic findings -proteinuria -decreased frothy urine -hypoalbuminemia -elevated chol, triglycerides, plts, -normal electrolytes managemement -prednisone (lowers proteinuria) -penicillin prphylaxis -fluid restriction -25% albumin if needed -no added salt diet -monitor temp -diuretics
A 10-year-old with glomerulonephritis reports a headache and blurred vision. The nurse should immediately: Put the client to bed. Obtain the child's blood pressure. Notify the physician. Administer acetaminophen (Tylenol).
Obtain the child's blood pressure. Reason: Hypertension occurs with acute glomerulonephritis. The symptoms of headache and blurred vision may indicate an elevated blood pressure. Hypertension in acute glomerulonephritis occurs due to the inability of the kidneys to remove fluid and sodium; the fluid is reabsorbed, causing fluid volume excess. The nurse must verify that these symptoms are due to hypertension. Calling the physician before confirming the cause of the symptoms would not assist the physician in his treatment. Putting the client to bed may help treat an elevated blood pressure, but first the nurse must establish that high blood pressure is the cause of the symptoms. Administering Tylenol for high blood pressure is not recommended.
Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) common cause of what? caused by? pathophys s/s
common cause of acute kidney failure (able to regain fucntion) 90% caused by e.coli pathophys -damage of the endothelial lining of glomerular arterioles -becomes swollen and occluded with platelets -RBC become damaged and removed by spleen -platelet aggregation with damaged vessels or removal of platelets (leads to thrombocytopenia) s/s -hemolytic anemia -thrombocytopenia (low count in platelets) -acute renal failure
urethra duplication
congenital 2 urethra leads to -recurrent utis requires -surgical correction
An adolescent with a history of surgical repair for an undescended testis comes to the clinic for a sports physical. Anticipatory guidance for the parents and adolescent should focus on which of the following as most important? The adolescent's sterility. The adolescent's future plans. Technique for monthly testicular self-exam. Need for a lot of psychological support.
Technique for monthly testicular self-exam.
The physician orders a urinalysis for a child who has undergone surgical repair of a hypospadias. Which of the following results should the nurse report to the physician? Urine specific gravity of 1.017. Ten red blood cells per high powered field. Twenty-five white blood cells per high powered field. Urine pH of 6.0
Twenty-five white blood cells per high powered field.
