After teaching a client with nephrotic syndrome and a normal glomerular filtration, the nurse assesses the client's understanding. Which statement made by the client indicates a correct understanding of the diet therapy for this condition?

Rationale: A. Increasing vitamin C is not specifically indicated for nephrotic syndrome; it does not address the protein loss associated with the condition. B. Carbohydrate intake does not need to be reduced; carbohydrates are often used to provide adequate calories when protein losses are high. C. While excessive fat intake should be avoided, fat restriction is not the primary dietary focus unless hyperlipidemia is severe. D. In nephrotic syndrome with normal glomerular filtration rate (GFR), protein is lost through urine (proteinuria). Therefore, the client should increase dietary protein intake to replace urinary protein losses and maintain normal serum protein levels.
