A nurse is assessing a client who has end-stage kidney disease. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect? (Select all that apply.)
Explanation & Rationale
A. Oliguria (low urine output) or anuria is common in end-stage kidney disease due to severely decreased glomerular filtration. B. Bradypnea is not typical; instead, clients often experience Kussmaul respirations (rapid, deep breathing) due to metabolic acidosis. C. Edema results from fluid retention and decreased excretion of sodium and water. D. Anemia develops because damaged kidneys fail to produce adequate erythropoietin, reducing red blood cell production. E. Hypotension is not expected; most clients experience hypertension from fluid overload and activation of the renin–angiotensin system.
