After a patient has undergone cholecystectomy, for which immediate complication would the nurse monitor?

Choice A reason: Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver and does not directly cause biliary sludge. It can lead to liver damage and other complications, but not specifically biliary sludge.
Choice B reason: Bile stasis, or the stagnation of bile, leads to the formation of biliary sludge. When bile does not flow properly, it can thicken and form sludge, which consists of bile salts, cholesterol, and other substances.
Choice C reason: Ascites is the accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity, typically due to liver disease, and does not cause biliary sludge.
Choice D reason: Biliary colic is pain caused by the obstruction of the bile ducts, often by gallstones, but it does not itself cause the formation of biliary sludge. Sludge can lead to biliary colic if it obstructs the bile ducts, but it is not a causative condition.

Choice A reason: Encouraging increased fluid intake is not appropriate for clients with acute glomerulonephritis as it can exacerbate fluid retention and hypertension, worsening the condition.
Choice B reason: Frequent ambulation is generally beneficial for overall health but is not a specific intervention for managing acute glomerulonephritis.
Choice C reason: Administering antibiotics is essential if the acute glomerulonephritis is caused by a bacterial infection, such as post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. Treating the underlying infection can help resolve the kidney inflammation.
Choice D reason: Obtaining weight weekly is insufficient for monitoring fluid balance in acute glomerulonephritis. Daily weights are more appropriate to closely monitor fluid retention and adjust treatment as needed.
