Stapedectomy is used to correct which of the following?

a) Encourage increased fluid intake: In acute glomerulonephritis, fluid retention is common due to kidney dysfunction, so increasing fluid intake can exacerbate symptoms like edema and hypertension.
b) Encourage frequent ambulation: While ambulation is important for overall health, excessive activity may worsen symptoms such as fatigue or edema in clients with acute glomerulonephritis. Rest and limited activity are often recommended initially.
c) Obtain weekly weight: For a client with acute glomerulonephritis, weight monitoring should ideally be done daily. This allows for more precise tracking of fluid balance and early detection of fluid retention or weight gain, which could indicate worsening of the condition.
d) Place the client on a low-sodium diet: A low-sodium diet helps reduce fluid retention and lower blood pressure, which are important in managing acute glomerulonephritis and preventing complications such as edema or hypertension.

a) Urinary output of 280 mL during previous 8 hr: This output is within normal limits for an adult, so it does not require immediate reporting.
b) Pedal edema: Edema can occur with glomerulonephritis due to fluid retention, but it is not the most urgent sign.
c) Hematuria: Hematuria is a common finding in glomerulonephritis and does not necessarily require immediate intervention unless severe.
d) Blood pressure 162/90 mm Hg: A blood pressure of 162/90 mm Hg is high and could indicate worsening renal function or complications that require immediate medical attention.
