Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale: Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal infection is a cause of glomerulonephritis. Of-ten, the child becomes ill with streptococcal infection of the upper respiratory tract and then de-velops symptoms of acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis after an interval of 1 to 2 weeks. The questions to the mother in Has your child had any diarrhea? Have you noticed any rashes on your child? and Did your child sustain any injuries to the kidney area? are unrelated to a diagnosis of glomerulonephritis.
