    A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has nephrotic syndrome. The nurse should recognize that which of the following client statements indicates a need for further teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. "I will lose protein in my urine." is correct understanding because nephrotic syndrome is characterized by massive proteinuria. B. "I should increase my sodium intake." indicates a need for further teaching because clients with nephrotic syndrome should limit sodium to help control edema, not increase it. C. "I should expect my provider to prescribe a kidney biopsy." is correct understanding because a biopsy helps confirm the diagnosis and identify the underlying cause. D. "I can expect to have swelling in my face." is correct understanding because facial and periorbital edema is a common manifestation of nephrotic syndrome.
