Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: "I can expect to have swelling in my face." In nephrotic syndrome, there is excessive protein loss in the urine, leading to low protein levels in the blood. This results in decreased colloidal osmotic pressure, leading to fluid shifting into tissues, causing edema, commonly in the face (periorbital edema). This statement aligns with the pathophysiology of nephrotic syndrome.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. B is incorrect as protein loss occurs in the urine, not sodium. C is incorrect as clients with nephrotic syndrome often require sodium restriction. D is incorrect as kidney biopsy is not typically indicated for nephrotic syndrome diagnosis.
