Passage / Scenario
A 6-year-old child with a voiding cystourethrogram indicating significant urinary reflux.Which of the following recurrent medical conditions should the nurse identify as being an increased risk for this client to develop? (Select All that Apply.)
Correct answer
B,C
Rationale
The correct answers are B and C. Upper urinary tract infections (UTIs) are more common in individuals with recurrent medical conditions such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to compromised immune function and urinary tract abnormalities. CKD increases the risk of UTIs due to decreased kidney function and impaired immune response. Phimosis and hydrocele are not directly related to an increased risk of UTIs. Urethral obstruction may contribute to UTIs but is not a recurrent medical condition itself.
