- B. Role play

A: Critical play involves critical thinking and problem-solving, not acting out scenarios.\n

The parents of a child with acute postinfectious glomerulonephritis (APIGN) ask how they will know that the condition is improving. How should the nurse respond?
- A. Your child's urine output will increase, and the urine will become less brown in color.
- B. Your child will rest more comfortably.
- C. Your child's appetite will decrease.
- D. Your child's laboratory test values will show increased BUN.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Improvement in APIGN is indicated by an increase in urine output and a change in urine color from brown (due to hematuria) to a more normal appearance. This reflects a reduction in glomerular inflammation and improved kidney function. Choice B is incorrect because resting more comfortably is not a direct indicator of kidney function improvement. Choice C is incorrect because a decrease in appetite is not typically associated with improvement in APIGN. Choice D is incorrect because an increased BUN value would suggest worsening kidney function rather than improvement.
