A 4-year-old with nephrotic syndrome is experiencing severe periorbital edema
Question 1 of 5
The best measure the nurse could institute to help reduce the periorbital edema is:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Apply warm compresses. By applying warm compresses, it helps to improve circulation and reduce swelling in the periorbital area. Warmth can help dilate blood vessels, allowing fluid to be reabsorbed more effectively, thus reducing edema. Cool sterile soaks (
A) may constrict blood vessels and not promote fluid drainage. Encouraging the child to eat low protein foods (
C) is not directly related to reducing periorbital edema. Elevating the head of the bed (
D) may help with overall circulation but may not specifically target periorbital edema.
