10-year-old with acute renal failure from long-term kidney disease.
Question 1 of 5
A 10-year-old client is experiencing acute renal failure from long-term kidney disease. The nurse is preparing to administer intravenous (IV) fluid. Which action is appropriate when caring for this client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Administer the IV fluid slowly. In acute renal failure, the kidney's ability to filter waste and maintain fluid balance is compromised. Administering IV fluids slowly helps prevent fluid overload and electrolyte imbalances, which are risks in renal failure.
Choice A is incorrect because the blood pressure is within a normal range for a 10-year-old.
Choice B is incorrect as potassium levels are typically monitored closely and added cautiously in renal failure.
Choice C is incorrect as a high protein and sodium diet can exacerbate renal failure. Administering IV fluids slowly is the safest approach to prevent complications in this client.
