Practice Question
A nurse is caring for a school-age child who has acute glomerulonephritis with peripheral edema and is producing 35mL of urine per hour. The nurse should place the client on which of the following diets?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Low-sodium, fluid-restricted
Rationale:
💧 Acute glomerulonephritis causes renal inflammation, reducing the kidneys’ ability to excrete sodium and water, leading to fluid retention, edema, and hypertension.
💧 A low-sodium diet helps reduce water retention, and fluid restriction prevents volume overload when urine output is low.
💧 This management supports cardiovascular stability and decreases the workload on the kidneys.
💧 Monitoring weight, blood pressure, and intake/output is essential in conjunction with dietary interventions.
