In caring for a pediatric client with nephrotic syndrome, which intervention should be included in the plan of care?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Regular testing of urine for glucose is not specific to nephrotic syndrome and is more relevant for managing diabetes. B. Weighing the child on the same scale each day is essential for monitoring fluid status and detecting early signs of fluid retention or loss, which are critical in managing nephrotic syndrome. C. Increasing oral fluid intake may not be recommended due to the risk of fluid retention and edema, which are common in nephrotic syndrome. D. While monitoring potassium levels is necessary when on diuretics like furosemide, a low-potassium diet is not routinely required unless hyperkalemia is present.
