A child is diagnosed with Wilms' tumor. During assessment, the nurse in charge expects to detect:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In a child with Wilms' tumor, the nurse would expect to detect an abdominal mass upon assessment. Wilms' tumor, also known as nephroblastoma, is a type of kidney cancer that commonly presents as a firm, non-tender abdominal mass. This mass may be felt upon palpation of the abdomen. Gross hematuria (A) is not a typical finding associated with Wilms' tumor. Dysuria (B) is the term used to describe painful or difficult urination and is not a characteristic symptom of Wilms' tumor. Nausea and vomiting (C) are also not commonly associated with Wilms' tumor, unless the tumor is causing obstruction or compression of nearby structures in the abdomen.
