Your patient arrives back to their room after having extracoporeal shock wave
lithotripsy (ESWL) for treatment of a kidney stone. What will be included in the

Keep the patient in bed
Encourage fluid intake of 3-4 liters per day
Maintain nephrostomy tube
Strain urine

While providing care to a pediatric patient with acute glomerulonephritis, you note the
urine output to be 10 mL/hr. The patient weighs 30 lbs. As the nurse, you will want to
limit what type of foods from the patient's diet?
Calcium-rich foods
Potassium-rich foods
Purine -rich foods
None of the above because the patient's urinary output is normal based on the patient's weight.

Within the past month, the admission rate of patients with poststreptococcal
glomerulonephritis has doubled on your unit. You are proving an in-service to your
colleagues about this condition. Which statement is CORRECT about this condition?
"This condition tends to present 6 months after a strep infection of the throat or skin."
"It is important the patient consumes a diet rich in potassium based foods due to the risk of
hypokalemia."
"Patients are less likely to experience hematuria with this condition."
"This condition is not caused by the streptococcal bacteria attacking the glomerulus, but by the
immune system’s response to the bacteria by creating an antigen-antibody complex which
inflames the glomerulus."

Which patient below is at MOST RISK for developing acute glomerulonephritis?
A 3 year old male who has a positive ASO titer.
A 5 year old male who is recovering from an appendectomy.
An 18 year old male who is diagnosed with HIV.
A 6 year old female newly diagnosed with measles

A patient with a kidney stone explains that the pain he is experiencing is intense,

symptoms, where may the kidney stone be located?

Renal Papilla
Ureter
Urethra

You're providing care to a patient with a uric acid kidney stone that is 2 mm in size per

kidney stone. What nursing intervention is PRIORITY for this patient based on the

Patients with urolithiasis need to be encouraged to:
Increase their fluid intake so that they can excrete 3000 mL to 4000 mL every day, which will help
prevent additional stone formation.
Participate in strenuous exercises so that the tone of smooth muscle in the urinary tract can be
strengthened to help propel calculi.
Supplement their diet with calcium needed to replace losses to renal calculi.
Limit their voiding to every 6 to 8 hours so that increase volume can increase hydrostatic
pressure, which will help push stones along the urinary system.
