Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C: Urinary Tract Infection. Given the patient's presentation, which likely includes symptoms like dysuria, frequency, urgency, and possibly hematuria, the nurse would anticipate a diagnosis of UTI. Nephrotic syndrome (A) presents with proteinuria, edema, and hypoalbuminemia. Acute glomerulonephritis (B) presents with hematuria, proteinuria, hypertension, and edema. Diabetes mellitus Type 1 (D) presents with hyperglycemia, polyuria, polydipsia, and weight loss. UTI (C) best fits the patient's presentation.
