A 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
A
Rationale
Administering antibiotics is a primary intervention for acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) when caused by a bacterial infection, such as post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. Antibiotics help eliminate the infection and prevent further glomerular damage. Fluid intake may need restriction due to oliguria or edema, frequent ambulation is not a priority, and daily weight measurements are preferred over weekly for monitoring fluid status.
