Answer to Question 1

6.8  7
6.8  seven
For the toddler, urinary output should equal or exceed 1 mL/kg/hr. Therefore, a toddler weighing 15 pounds weighs 6.8 kilograms (kg). 6.8 kg x 1 mL = 6.8 or 7.0 mL per hour.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. If the child's ANA were negative, it is unlikely that this is a case of SLE.
B Incorrect. Positive antibodies to DNA is one of the 12 diagnostic criteria for SLE. Since this child has negative antibodies to DNA, it means he or she does not have one of the 12 criteria. No conclusion can be drawn about the presence of absence of SLE,
C Correct. Positive antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are one diagnostic criterion for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) Therefore, the child may have SLE. Diagnosis is made by history, physical exam, laboratory testing, and the presence of four of the twelve diagnostic criteria.
D Incorrect. Positive antinuclear antibodies (ANA) do not support the conclusion that the child's kidneys are involved in one of the autoimmune disorders.
