Which intervention would be included in the plan of care for a child with nephrotic syndrome?Nursing interventions for a child with nephrotic syndrome are: Monitoring fluid intake and output. Accurately monitor and document intake and output; weigh the child at the same time every day, on the same scale in the same clothing; measure the child's abdomen daily at the level of the umbilicus.
Which intervention would the nurse in the plan of care for a patient who has renal calculi?Increasing fluid intake for adequate hydration is recommended in patients with renal calculi. Adequate hydration helps keep urine diluted and free flowing to decrease the risk of recurrent stone formation. Unless contraindicated, encourage the patient to intake 3 L/day for urine output of 2 L/day.
Which type of diet should the nurse teach to a client with nephrotic syndrome?Nephrotic syndrome can increase your cholesterol and triglyceride levels, so try to eat a diet that's low in saturated fat and cholesterol. This can also help to reduce your risk of developing heart disease. Although this condition causes you to lose protein in your urine, eating extra protein isn't recommended.
Which findings would the nurse observe in a patient with nephrotic syndrome?The patient with nephrotic syndrome will experience massive proteinuria (not slight) along with low albumin in the blood (hypoalbuminemia), edema, and high cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
