• A. Headache, hematuria, and vertigo
• B. Foul-smelling urine, elevated blood pressure (BP), and hematuria

• D. Severe flank pain, nausea, and headache

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Preschool-age children with a urinary tract infection commonly present with urgency (feeling the need to urinate urgently), dysuria (painful urination), and fever. These symptoms are indicative of a UTI in this age group and should prompt further assessment and intervention by the nurse. Choice A is incorrect because headache and vertigo are not typical symptoms of UTI in preschool-age children. Choice B is incorrect because while foul-smelling urine and hematuria can be present in UTI, elevated blood pressure is not a common finding in this condition. Choice D is incorrect as severe flank pain and nausea are not typical manifestations of UTI in preschool-age children.
