    A nurse is caring for a school-age child who has acute glomerulonephritis with peripheral edema and is producing 35 mL of urine per hour. The nurse should place the client on which of the following diets?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. A low-protein diet may be appropriate for chronic conditions but is not specifically indicated for acute glomerulonephritis with edema. B. A regular diet with no added salt might not be sufficient for managing acute glomerulonephritis, especially with significant edema and reduced urine output. C. A low-carbohydrate, low-protein diet is not specifically indicated for managing acute glomerulonephritis. D. A low-sodium, fluid-restricted diet is important in managing edema and fluid retention associated with acute glomerulonephritis.
