Passage / Scenario
A client who has acute glomerulonephritisA nurse is planning care for a client who has acute glomerulonephritis. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Obtain weight weekly. In acute glomerulonephritis, monitoring weight is crucial as it helps assess fluid balance. Sudden weight gain can indicate fluid retention, a common complication. Antibiotics (choice A) may be used if the cause is bacterial but is not a universal intervention. Encouraging increased fluid intake (choice C) may worsen fluid retention. Encouraging frequent ambulation (choice D) is important for preventing complications but is not specific to managing glomerulonephritis.
