Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
In VUR, urine backflows into the kidneys, causing hydronephrosis, or distention of the kidneys. The other answers are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Antibiotics need to be started as soon as possible, but it is imperative to obtain a urine sample for a culture and sensitivity to guide medication choices first. While awaiting the results, the nurse will administer a broad-spectrum antibiotic. The child does need an IV, but there is no indication that the child needs aggressive fluid resuscitation. Teaching is always an important task, but does not take priority over obtaining the sample for urinalysis.
