A nurse is planning care for a child who is in the acute stage of nephrotic syndrome. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Explanation & Rationale
A. In nephrotic syndrome, there is significant protein loss leading to edema. Increasing fluid intake would exacerbate the problem. Fluid restriction is often necessary. B. Daily weight monitoring is crucial in nephrotic syndrome to assess fluid retention and the effectiveness of treatment. Weight gain indicates fluid accumulation. C. Elevating the child's head and legs can help reduce edema. Supine positioning might worsen it. D. Adequate nutrition is essential for healing and recovery. Restricting calories is not necessary and could be harmful.
