Question 2 of 5

Which is the most appropriate nursing diagnosis for the child with acute glomerulonephritis?

Correct Answer:

Rationale: Acute glomerulonephritis is characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli in the kidneys, leading to decreased plasma filtration. As a result, fluid volume excess occurs due to impaired kidney function in regulating the fluid balance. Symptoms may include hypertension, edema, weight gain, and oliguria. Therefore, the most appropriate nursing diagnosis for a child with acute glomerulonephritis would be "Fluid Volume Excess related to decreased plasma filtration". This diagnosis focuses on the pathophysiological process of the condition and helps guide nursing interventions aimed at managing fluid volume overload.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The best action for the nurse to take in this situation is to give the guest a glass of orange juice (Choice D). The guest is most likely experiencing hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) due to diabetes. Orange juice contains natural sugars that can help raise the guest's blood sugar levels quickly. Since the guest is feeling dizzy and trembling, providing a source of fast-acting sugar like orange juice is crucial in addressing the low blood sugar and preventing the situation from worsening. It is important to follow up with a source of longer-lasting carbohydrates and protein after the guest's blood sugar levels have stabilized.
