A child with nephritic syndrome is severely edematous. The primary health care provider has placed the child on bedrest. An important nursing intervention for this child would be to:
1. Reposition the child every two hours.
2. Monitor BP every 30 minutes.
3. Encourage fluids.
4. Limit visitors.
1
Rationale:
1. A child with severe edema, on bedrest, is at risk for altered skin integrity. To prevent skin breakdown, the child should be repositioned every two hours.
2. Vital signs are taken every four hours.
3. Fluids need to be monitored, and should not be encouraged.
4. The child needs social interaction, so visitors should not be limited.
