1."Has your child had any diarrhea?"
2."Have you noticed any rashes on your child?"
3."Did your child recently complain of a sore throat?"
4."Did your child sustain any injuries to the kidney area?

Answer 1

The question that is most likely to elicit information about the cause of glomerulonephritis is asking if the child recently complained of a sore throat.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question that is most likely to elicit information about the cause of glomerulonephritis is: 3. "Did your child recently complain of a sore throat?"

Glomerulonephritis is often caused by a post-streptococcal infection, which can result from a streptococcal throat infection. By asking if the child recently complained of a sore throat, the nurse can gather information that may help determine if the cause of the glomerulonephritis is related to a streptococcal infection.
