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.
