A nurse is caring for a client who has acute glomerulonephritis.

Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Choice A reason:

"This test will be repeated when your baby is 2 months old. “This is a false statement. Newborn genetic screening is usually performed shortly after birth. The test is not typically repeated when the baby is 2 months old, as it is meant to detect conditions early on, allowing for prompt intervention and management if necessary.

Choice B reason:

"Your baby will be given 2 ounces of water to drink prior to the test."This is a false statement. The baby does not need to drink water before the newborn genetic screening test. The test is usually performed by collecting a small blood sample from the baby's heel, and there is no need for the baby to drink water beforehand.

Choice C reason:

"This test should be performed after your baby is 24 hours old. “This is the appropriate statement. The nurse should include the statement that newborn genetic screening should be performed after the baby is 24 hours old. Newborn genetic screening, also known as newborn screening or heel prick test, is a standard test performed on newborns to detect certain genetic, metabolic, and congenital disorders early on. The test is typically done by pricking the baby's heel to collect a small sample of blood, which is then analysed in a laboratory.

Choice D reason:

"A nurse will draw blood from your baby's inner elbow. “This is a false statement. The correct location for collecting the blood sample for newborn genetic screening is the baby's heel. The nurse will prick the baby's heel to obtain a few drops of blood, which will then be collected on a special filter paper for laboratory analysis.

The correct answer is choice B. Fish. Fish is a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which can help lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation, and prevent blood clots. Fish is also low in sodium, which is important for people with hypertension, as excess sodium can raise blood pressure by retaining fluid in the body. Fish is part of the DASH diet, which stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, and is a healthy eating plan that emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, nuts, seeds, legumes, and lean meats.

Choice A. Cheese is wrong because cheese is high in sodium and saturated fat, which can increase blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Cheese should be limited or avoided by people with hypertension.

Choice C. Red meat is wrong because red meat is also high in sodium and saturated fat, as well as cholesterol, which can contribute to hypertension and heart disease.

Red meat should be eaten sparingly or replaced by leaner sources of protein like fish, poultry, or beans.

Choice D. Canned black beans are wrong because canned black beans are high in sodium, as most canned foods are preserved with salt. Canned black beans should be rinsed well before eating or replaced by dried or cooked black beans, which are lower in sodium and high in fiber, potassium, magnesium, and calcium, which are beneficial for blood pressure control.
