a nurse is assisting in the planning of a discharge teaching plan for a client with glomerulonephritis. which of the following actions should the nurse expect to be included in the plan to reduce the development of complications?\n- salt restriction\n- protein restriction\n- smoking cessation\n- regulation of hypertension\n- increased fluid intake\n- increased potassium intake
Answer
# Brief Explanations:
Glomerulonephritis can cause fluid - retention and high blood pressure. Salt restriction helps reduce fluid retention, protein restriction can ease kidney workload if there is proteinuria, smoking cessation is beneficial for overall vascular health, and regulation of hypertension protects the kidneys. Increased fluid intake can worsen fluid - overload in some cases of glomerulonephritis, and increased potassium intake can be dangerous if kidney function is impaired as it may lead to hyperkalemia.
# Answer:
Salt restriction, Protein restriction, Smoking cessation, Regulation of hypertension
