Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has acute glomerulonephritis. Which of the following actions is the nurse's priority?

Placing the child on a no-salt-added diet (
A) might be beneficial but is not the priority. Maintaining a saline-lock (
B) is important but not the priority over monitoring fluid status. Educating parents about potential complications (
C) is important but not the priority when immediate assessment is needed.
