The initial bundle of care in sepsis includes which of the following? (Select all that apply.)

In a client with minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS), the primary concern is the management of fluid volume and hydration status. MCNS is characterized by increased glomerular permeability, leading to excessive protein loss in the urine and subsequent hypoalbuminemia. This can result in fluid retention and edema formation, including facial edema.

Hypertension is a common complication in clients with MCNS, and it further contributes to fluid retention and potential complications. Therefore, closely monitoring the client's fluid volume and hydration status, including daily weights, intake and output measurements, and assessment of edema, is crucial to detect any changes and guide appropriate interventions.

While other actions, such as consulting with a registered dietitian about adequate intake or using sterile technique to prevent infections, may be important aspects of the client's care, they are not the priority in this situation. The immediate concern is managing the client's hypertension and fluid volume status to prevent complications associated with MCNS.

The nurse explains that immobilizing a fracture will:

• Help align the bone fragments and reduce movement, which is crucial for proper healing. Immobilization can help maintain the stability of the fracture site, allowing the bones to knit together and heal.
• Help to minimize movement and subsequent pain. It provides support and reduces stress on the injured area, which can help alleviate discomfort and promote a more comfortable healing process.
• Help to minimize movement and reduce the risk of fat globules from bone marrow entering the bloodstream and causing a fat embolism, a potentially serious complication.

Preventing blood clots, preventing malignant hyperthermia, and immobilizing a fracture are not directly related. Preventing blood clots typically involves other measures such as early mobilization, elevation, and medication to prevent deep vein thrombosis. Malignant hyperthermia is a rare, potentially life-threatening reaction to certain medications used during anesthesia, and immobilization does not directly prevent it.
