A preschool-age client is diagnosed with acute glomerulonephritis and is admitted to the hospital. Which nursing diagnosis is most appropriate for this client?
1. Risk for Injury Related to Loss of Blood in Urine
2. Fluid-Volume Excess Related to Decreased Plasma Filtration
3. Risk for Infection Related to Hypertension
4. Altered Growth and Development Related to a Chronic Disease
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: The fluid is excessive, and fluid and electrolyte balance should be monitored. There is no risk for injury because the blood loss in the urine is not such that it causes anemia. While a risk for infection may be present, it is not related to the hypertension. Growth and development is not normally affected because this is an acute process, not a chronic one.
