    A nurse is planning care for a patient who has acute glomerulonephritis. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A reason: Weight should be obtained daily, not weekly, to monitor fluid retention and edema, which are common in glomerulonephritis. Choice B reason: Antibiotics are appropriate if the glomerulonephritis is post-infectious, such as following a streptococcal infection. Treating the underlying cause is essential. Choice C reason: Ambulation is beneficial but not a priority intervention in acute glomerulonephritis, especially if the patient is experiencing fatigue or fluid overload. Choice D reason: Fluid intake may need to be restricted depending on the patient’s renal function and presence of edema or hypertension. Encouraging increased intake without assessment could worsen the condition.
