Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a school-age child who has acute glomerulonephritis with peripheral edema and is producing 35 mL of urine per hour. The nurse should place the client on which of the following diets?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Low-sodium, fluid-restricted diet. In acute glomerulonephritis, the kidneys are unable to effectively filter out waste and excess fluid, leading to peripheral edema and decreased urine output. A low-sodium diet helps reduce fluid retention and prevents further edema. Fluid restriction helps maintain fluid balance in the body.
Choices A, B, and C are not appropriate as they do not directly address the issue of fluid retention and edema. A low-carbohydrate and low-protein diet may be too restrictive for a growing school-age child. A regular diet with no added salt may exacerbate fluid retention. A low-protein, low-potassium diet may not be necessary in this case.
