Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The child with glomerulonephritis typically experiences gross or microscopic hematuria, pro-teinuria, edema, renal insufficiency, flank pain, and hypertension. Pyuria and abdominal pain are typically not present while dysuria and urinary frequency are symptoms of cystitis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The location of the infection leading to glomerulonephritis is the respiratory tract, not the bone, GI tract, or the ear.
