Passage / Scenario
Pediatric client with nephrotic syndrome.In caring for a pediatric client with nephrotic syndrome, which intervention should be included in the plan of care?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Weighing on the same scale each day. This is important in monitoring fluid status, a key component in managing nephrotic syndrome. Consistent weighing helps track fluid retention or loss accurately. Testing urine for glucose (A) is not necessary for nephrotic syndrome. Increasing fluid intake (C) can worsen edema. Following a low-potassium diet (D) is not a priority in nephrotic syndrome management unless specifically indicated.
