    A nurse is caring for a school-age child who has acute glomerulonephritis. The child has peripheral edema and is producing 35 mL of urine per hour. Which of the following diets should the nurse anticipate the provider will prescribe?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Low-protein, low-potassium diet: Protein restriction is not typically required unless severe renal dysfunction exists. Potassium restriction is not necessary with normal output and levels. B. Low-carbohydrate, low-protein diet: There is no need to restrict carbohydrates. C. Regular diet, no added salt: Sodium restriction helps manage edema without imposing unnecessary dietary limitations. D. Low-sodium, fluid-restricted diet: Fluid restriction is not typically required unless there is severe oliguria or fluid overload.
