A client is being treated for chronic kidney disease (CKD). On examination, the client has an elevated blood pressure (BP) and is exhibiting changes in mental status. Which intervention in the plan of care should the practical nurse (PN) implement?

This is the best intervention for the PN to implement because it monitors the client's fluid status and helps detect fluid overload, which can cause hypertension and neurological changes. The PN should weigh the client at the same time, on the same scale, and with the same clothing every day.
