NCP Notes Acute Glomerulonephritis

The client presents with excess fluid volume related to acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) as evidenced by hematuria, proteinuria, severe edema, and elevated blood pressure. Short term goals include the client understanding dietary and fluid restrictions and stabilizing fluid volume within 3 days. Long term goals include the client monitoring their fluid status and reducing recurrence of fluid excess. Nursing interventions include establishing rapport, assessing precipitating factors, closely monitoring vital signs, restricting sodium and fluid intake, calculating accurate fluid balance, setting an appropriate fluid intake rate, weighing daily, and administering medications like furosemide.
