Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C: Wilms' tumor. The nurse should suspect Wilms' tumor in a child presenting with an abdominal mass. Wilms' tumor is a common childhood kidney cancer, typically presenting as a painless abdominal mass. It is important to suspect Wilms' tumor early for prompt diagnosis and treatment. Pyloric stenosis (A) presents with projectile vomiting, nephritic syndrome (B) with hematuria and proteinuria, and intussusception (D) with colicky abdominal pain and "currant jelly" stools.
