Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Anemia is a symptom that can be caused by many disease states. It is not a disease that explains low hemoglobin. The other answers are incorrect.

Decreased urine output, edema, fever, and pain over the donor kidney site are all signs of possible rejection. The child would have a weight gain related to the edema.
