Urinary tract anomalies are frequently associated with what irregularities in fetal development?
a. Myelomeningocele
b. Cardiovascular anomalies
c. Malformed or low-set ears
d. Defects in lower extremities
ANS: C
Although unexplained, there is a frequent association between malformed or low-set ears and urinary tract anomalies. During the newborn examination, the nurse should have a high suspicion about urinary tract structure and function if ear anomalies are present. Children who have myelomeningocele may have impaired urinary tract function secondary to the neural defect. When other congenital defects are present, there is an increased likelihood of other issues with other body systems. Cardiac and extremity defects do not have a strong association with renal anomalies.
