ATI LPN Paediatrics II proctored exam
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. Regular diet, no added salt: A regular diet with no added salt does not adequately address the sodium restriction needed to manage edema in acute glomerulonephritis. B. Low-carbohydrate, low-protein diet: Restricting carbohydrates and proteins is not typically necessary in acute glomerulonephritis unless there are specific complications. C. Low-protein, low-potassium diet: While protein restriction may be necessary in chronic kidney disease, it is not typically the primary focus in managing acute glomerulonephritis. D. Low-sodium, fluid-restricted: A low-sodium diet helps to reduce fluid retention and manage edema in acute glomerulonephritis. Fluid restriction may also be necessary to manage fluid balance.
