Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Limiting protein intake may be beneficial for certain kidney conditions but is not the priority for nephrolithiasis.

B. Encouraging adequate fluid intake (at least 3 liters per day) is critical to help prevent the formation of kidney stones by promoting urine output and dilution of substances that form stones.

C. Bed rest is not necessary for nephrolithiasis unless the client is in severe pain or experiencing complications.

D. While applying cold compresses may help with pain, increasing fluid intake is the most important action for preventing further stone formation.

A. Weight gain B. Creatinine level of 1.0 (0.6-1.2 mg/dL) C. GFR of 100 mL/min (>90 ml/min) D. Weight loss

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Weight gain is typically seen in the oliguric phase, not the diuresis phase. In the diuresis phase, the client is excreting excess fluid, leading to weight loss.

B. A creatinine level of 1.0 is within the normal range and would not be expected during the diuresis phase of acute kidney injury, when creatinine levels would still be elevated.

C. GFR of 100 mL/min is normal, but in acute kidney injury, the GFR would be decreased. A GFR above 90 mL/min would not be expected in the diuresis phase.

D. Weight loss is a key finding in the diuresis phase due to the loss of excess fluids as the kidneys begin to recover.
