A)Children who are potty trained often develop enuresis, or involuntary passage of urine, during a urinary tract infection. An appropriate nursing outcome would be that the child would recover enough from the infection that the child no longer experiences enuresis. An outcome related to bilirubin levels would be more appropriate for a neonate, not a school-aged child. The client should be afebrile for 24 hours prior to discharge, not 12 hours. The client should be voiding 500 to 1000 mL of urine in 24 hours, depending on weight. Only voiding 300 mL of urine would be cause for concern.
