Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
In the child with nephrotic syndrome, the parents may notice diminished, frothy, or foamy urine output. Nephrotic syndrome is not associated with constipation, a vesicular skin rash, or jaundice.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Recurrent hematuria is associated with glomerulonephritis that is complicated by the presence of immunoglobulin IgA. Neither recurrent infections, vomiting, nor enuresis is associated with this condition.
