Correct Answer is A
Explanation
The nurse should place the client on a low-sodium, fluid-restricted diet.
Acute glomerulonephritis is a kidney disease that can cause fluid retention and edema.
A low-sodium diet can help reduce fluid retention and swelling.
Fluid restriction can also help manage fluid balance and prevent further complications.
Choice B is not the best answer because a regular diet with no added salt may still contain high levels of sodium.
Choice C is not the best answer because a low-protein, low-potassium diet may not address the client’s fluid retention and edema.
Choice D is not the best answer because a low-carbohydrate, low-protein diet may not provide adequate nutrition for the client.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
Head lice are spread most commonly by direct head-to-head (hair-to-hair) contact.
However, much less frequently they are spread by sharing clothing or belongings onto which lice have crawled or nits attached to shed hairs may have fallen.
Choice B is not correct because lice cannot jump from one child to another. Choice C is not correct because live lice survive less than 1-2 days if they fall off a
person and cannot feed.
Choice D is not correct because washing your child’s hair daily will not prevent lice.
