Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. Limiting oral fluid intake may be necessary in some cases of glomerulonephritis, especially if the client is experiencing edema or hypertension, but this is not a universal recommendation and should be assessed individually.
B. Restricting protein intake is important for clients with glomerulonephritis to reduce the workload on the kidneys and prevent further damage. This is a critical dietary adjustment that nurses should emphasize.
C. Increasing potassium-rich foods can be contraindicated in clients with glomerulonephritis, especially if renal function is compromised, as it can lead to hyperkalemia.
D. While high-fiber foods can be beneficial for overall health, they do not directly address the specific dietary needs of a client with glomerulonephritis in terms of protein and electrolyte balance.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. "Don't worry, I'm sure your son will visit."
This response is dismissive and assumes that the son will visit, which may not be the case. It may come across as insensitive.
B. "Your son hasn't been around much lately?"
This response reflects the patient's statement, encouraging them to elaborate. It shows empathy and gives the patient space to express their feelings.
C. "My son doesn't come to visit me either."
This response shifts focus away from the patient and may make them feel that their concern is trivialized.
D. "How terrible that he doesn't visit you."
This response is judgmental and might make the patient feel worse or lead them to think the nurse disapproves of their son.
